- - "Little Richard is the beginning of Rock 'n' Roll."
- Richard é um original, e as músicas que ele escreveu e as músicas que ele fez e tornou famoso são únicas.
- - "Richard is an original, and the songs he's written and the songs he's done and made famous are just one of a kind."
- Little Richard representava o que eu queria ser. Ele era, e ainda é, meu ídolo.
- "Richard abriu a porta. Ele reuniu as corridas. Quando entrei na estrada, havia muitos públicos segregados. Com Richard, embora eles ainda tivessem o público segregado no prédio, eles estavam lá JUNTOS. E na maioria das vezes antes do final da noite, todos eles se misturavam. Até então, o público era todo preto ou todo branco e ninguém mais podia entrar. Seus discos não eram coisas de garoto-conhece-garota-garota-conhece-garoto, eram discos divertidos, divertidos. E eles tinham muito a dizer sociologicamente em nosso país e no mundo. O tiro foi disparado aqui e ouvido em todo o mundo". "Quando Richard abriu a boca, cara, todo mundo podia se divertir. Ele tem uma voz que os faria pular para cima e para baixo ... é a primeira vez que eu vejo holofotes e luzes piscando usados em um show. Tudo tinha sido usado no show business, mas ele trouxe para o nosso mundo".
- - "Richard opened the door. He brought the races together. When I first went on the road their were many segragated audiences. With Richard, although they still had the audiences segragated in the building, they were there TOGETHER. And most times before the end of the night, they would all be mixed together. Up until then, the audiences were either all black or all white and no one else could come in. His records weren't boy-meets-girl-girl-meets-boy things, they were FUN records, all fun. And they had a lot to say sociologically in our country and the world. The shot was fired here and heard around the world." "When Richard opened his mouth, man, everyone could enjoy it. He's got a voice that would make 'em jump up and down... that's the first time I ever saw spotlights and flicker lights used at a concert show. It had all been used in show business but he brought it into our world."
- Eu amo Little Richard. Ele é um grande artista e fez muito pela nossa música.
- Se não fosse por Little Richard, eu não estaria aqui. Entrei no ramo da música por causa de Richard - ele é minha inspiração. Eu costumava cantar como Little Richard, o material do Rock'n Roll, você sabe. Richard também tem alma. Minha música atual tem muito dele.
- - "If it hadn't been for Little Richard, I would not be here. I entered the music business because of Richard - he is my inspiration. I used to sing like Little Richard, his Rock 'n' Roll stuff, you know. Richard has soul, too. My present music has a lot of him in it."
- - Otis Redding (1966) [5]
- - "If it hadn't been for Little Richard, I would not be here. I entered the music business because of Richard - he is my inspiration. I used to sing like Little Richard, his Rock 'n' Roll stuff, you know. Richard has soul, too. My present music has a lot of him in it."

- Little Richard não era apenas um gigante, mas também um pioneiro da chamada indústria da música Rock 'n' Roll. Ele tinha uma voz e um estilo tão únicos que ninguém mais o combinou ... O Rock'n Soul está aqui para ficar!
- - "Little Richard was not only a giant but a pioneer of the so-called Rock 'n' Roll music industry. He had such a unique voice and style that no one else has matched it... Rock 'n' Soul is here to stay!"
- Nunca pensei que conheceria Little Richard. Ele era meu ídolo na escola. A primeira música que eu cantei em público foi 'Long Tall Sally', em uma competição de talentos do acampamento de férias de Butlins! Eu amo a voz dele e sempre quis cantar como ele.
- - "I never thought I'd ever meet Little Richard. He was my idol at school. The first song I ever sang in public was 'Long Tall Sally,' at a Butlins holiday camp talent competition! I love his voice and I always wanted to sing like him."
- Muito obrigado a todos, principalmente aos rock'n rollers e ao Little Richard (apontando para ele) - realmente tudo foi culpa dele.

- Elvis era maior que a religião na minha vida. Então, esse garoto na escola disse que tinha conseguido esse disco por alguém chamado Little Richard, que era melhor que Elvis. Costumávamos ir à casa dos meninos depois da escola e ouvir Elvis no ano de 78: comprávamos cinco charutos soltos e algumas batatas fritas e seguíamos adiante. O novo disco foi 'Long Tall Sally' de Little Richard. Quando ouvi, foi tão bom que não consegui falar. Você sabe como está rasgado. Não queria deixar Elvis, mas isso era muito melhor. Todos nos entreolhamos. Eu não queria dizer nada contra Elvis, mesmo em minha mente. Como eles podem estar acontecendo na minha vida? E então alguém disse: "É um canto negro." Eu não sabia que os negros cantavam. Então Elvis era branco e Little Richard era preto. Foi um grande alívio. "Obrigado Deus", eu disse. "Há uma diferença entre eles." Mas eu pensei sobre isso por dias na escola, dos rótulos nos discos de Elvis e Little Richard. Um era amarelo e o outro azul, e pensei no amarelo contra o azul.
- - "Elvis was bigger than religion in my life. Then this boy at school said he'd got this record by somebody called Little Richard who was better than Elvis. We used to go to this boys house after school and listen to Elvis on 78s: we'd buy five ciggies loose and some chips and go along. The new record was Little Richard's 'Long Tall Sally'. When I heard it, it was so great I couldn't speak. You know how you are torn. I didn't want to leave Elvis but this was so much better. We all looked at each other. I didn't want to say anything against Elvis, even in my mind. How could they both be happening in my life? And then someone siad, "It's a nigger singing." I didn't know negroes sang. So Elvis was white and Little Richard was black. This was a great relief. "Thank you God," I said. "There is a difference between them." But I though about it for days at school, of the labels on the records of Elvis and Little Richard. One was yellow and the other was blue, and I thought of the yellow against the blue."
- - John Lennon (1970) [6]

- Eu tinha ouvido tanto sobre a reação da platéia que achei que deveria haver algum exagero. Mas era tudo verdade. Ele levou toda a casa a um frenesi completo. Não existe uma frase única para descrever seu domínio sobre o público. Eu não podia acreditar no poder de Little Richard no palco. Ele foi incrível. Chuck Berry é o meu favorito, junto com Bo (Diddley), mas ninguém conseguiu vencer o ato de Little Richard. Little Richard é o criador e meu primeiro ídolo.
- - "I had heard so much about the audience reaction that I thought there must be some exaggeration. But it was all true. He drove the whole house into a complete frenzy. There's no single phrase to describe his hold on the audience. I couldn't believe the power of Little Richard on stage. He was amazing. Chuck Berry is my favorite, along with Bo (Diddley), but nobody could beat Little Richard's stage act. Little Richard is the originator and my first idol."
- Little Richard é rei.
- - "Little Richard is King."
- O momento mais emocionante da minha vida foi aparecer no mesmo palco que Little Richard.
- - "The most exciting moment of my life was appearing on the same stage as Little Richard."
- Depois de ver esse homem, você sabe instantaneamente que viu a maior lenda do rock n roll do nosso tempo.
- - "Once you have seen this man you know instantly that you have seen the greatest Rock n Roll legend of our time."
- Little Richard, cara, era o deus! Eu cresci em Little Richard nos anos 50 do rock.
- - "Little Richard, man, was the god! I grew up on Little Richard in the rocking 50's."
- - Marty Balin das bandas Jefferson Airplane e Jefferson Starship[7]
- - "Little Richard, man, was the god! I grew up on Little Richard in the rocking 50's."
- Bem, eu certamente teria que ter uma gorjeta do chapéu para Little Richard. Eu diria que é uma espécie de cara composto, porque obviamente eu amo Wilson Pickett, e há alguns caras que têm esse tipo de coisa alta e nervosa, Little Richard sendo o melhor e o mais famoso. Wilson até gritou em sintonia. Minha voz saiu de uma certa maneira e eu aprendi a ser assim.
- - "Well I'd certainly have to have a tip of the hat to Little Richard. I'd say it's sort of a composite guy, because obviously I love Wilson Pickett, and there are a few guys who have that sort of high, edgy thing, Little Richard being the best and the most famous. Wilson even screamed in tune. My voice came out a certain way and I've learned to be that way."
- - John Fogerty (1988),[16] and Rod Stewart,[17] quando perguntado, em relação à sua voz plana de rock and roll, se havia alguém que ele estava ouvindo em sua cabeça além de si mesmo.

Wilson even screamed in tune. My voice came out a certain way and I've learned to be that way."
- "Little Richard - ele foi o primeiro que realmente me pegou. Little Richard e, é claro, Elvis Presley". "Eu não sei se foi por causa de James Brown e Little Richard, eu sempre preferi um vocal de alta energia, um vocal de força total. Eu gostei de Little Richard melhor que Elvis, e James Brown melhor que os Beatles ... mas os Milagres também foram uma forte influência sobre mim ... [embora] eu sempre tenha preferido os vocais mais energizados. "
- - (Final de 1981 entrevista de rádio de segerfile.com)
- - "Little Richard - he was the first one that really got to me. Little Richard and, of course, Elvis Presley." "I don't know if it was because of James Brown and Little Richard, I always preferred a high energy vocal, a hard full-force vocal. I liked Little Richard better than Elvis, and I liked James Brown better than the Beatles...but the Miracles were a heavy influence on me, too...[though] I always preferred the more energized vocals." (Late-1981 radio interview from segerfile.com)

Eu gosto de indicar a origem das coisas, porque quando se dá bem, muda. É tão interessante ver como realmente era no começo.
- - "James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and Little Richard - I think they had strong influences on a lot of people, because these were the guys who really got rock'n'roll going. I like to start with the origin of things, because once it gets along it changes. It's so interesting to see how it really was in the beginning." - 1983
- Na pesquisa espiritual do Rock n Roll, Little Richard é um original testado e verdadeiro. Desde o seu início, todos aprenderam com seu estilo e sua música, desde os primeiros Beatles até Mick Jagger hoje. Ao mesmo tempo, era tudo o desejo ardente original de Little Richard.
- - "In the spiritual poll of Rock n Roll, Little Richard is a tried and true original. Since his beginning, all have picked up from his style and from his music, from the early Beatles to Mick Jagger today. At one time it was all Little Richard's original raving craving thing."
- Little Richard é um grande criador. Ele estava lá no início, um artista emocionante.
- - "Little Richard is a great originator. He was right there at the start, a thrilling performer."
