Someone with taste has been hanging around lately. The telltale sign was seeing Little Richard currently on the Boss 10 list. It was just what I needed to remind me that there's a documentary about him tonight on PBS. I'm not sure where or when it might air in other locations but I went looking and you can actually view it online on the PBS American Masters site (linked below). The leaves me off the hook for biographic background info. Suffice it to say that he was one of the elite early rockers along with Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis. Here's some of his early work to get you juiced.
