Ep. 2.5.1 "The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" pt. 1

Little Richard often referred to himself as the "Architect of Rock 'n' Roll," but there's a great quote in which he said, "Elvis may be the King of Rock 'n' Roll, but I'm the Queen." That being said, I know the title of this episode may be confusing since Tina Turner was also often referred to as "The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll." However, the quote from which this episode's title comes not only captures a lot of Little Richard's personality, but also an aspect of his life that he vacillated over as he sometimes embraced his sexual orientation and other times tried to reject it. And because this aspect of his life affected so much his decisions he made and the lyrics he wrote (or rather, tried to write before being edited by record producers) I felt it apropos to use the appellation here for him, rather than for Tina. But don't worry, all you Tina Turner fans out there, I'll give her her due when we encounter her again in our narrative of Rock's story! For now, enjoy the wild ride that was Little Richard's life...
