* AwesomeEgo: In the latter half of his life, he swore up and down that he never got the credit he was due for more or less being a founding father of rock & roll music, and not one soul ever dared to argue with him. He once said to [[Series/TheArsenioHallShow Arsenio Hall]] that record labels couldn't handle a black man in the 50s being the "king of rock & roll."
** Just for starters, [[https://youtu.be/wYvUDkfBAIQ?t=82 one time]] at the 1988 Grammy Awards, Little Richard (with Buster Poindexter, aka David Johansen) was to present Best New Artist, and he awarded it to..... ''himself,'' and then lectured the audience on how "they ain't ''never'' gave me no Grammy" and he's "the ''architect'' of rock & roll!" He got a standing ovation, because he's Little Richard.
** Should you require an even more potent dose of this trope, listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDBbEAJDjwQ this intro]] to his rendition of "Joy To The World."

SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Much of the Specialty recordings in general - "Tutti Frutti," "Rip It Up," "Keep A-Knocking," "Slippin' And Slidin'," "Lucille," "The Girl Can't Help It," "Good Golly Miss Molly," and much more. All of these are boisterous rhythm & blues numbers, played with reckless abandon, with Little Richard singing them at the top of his lungs. You really need to hear this man scream and holler in his prime to appreciate just how '''''loud''''' he was by 1950s standards.
