Richard was a joyful person. Intelligent, funny, special ! I only wish I could have met him. He endured childhood poverty, racism, was taken advantage of in his career but he remained positive, joyful, thankful and a true blessing to people. I love you Richard and thank you for all the joy you gave the world

@Modernaire 4 года назад

Prince would of NEVER HAD said something like that, that's YOU hijacking Little Richard to prop up Prince. I seen them both in person, there was no such thing, Prince gave Little Richard his due respect BY being directly influenced and inspired by Little Richard. Prince borrowed a lot from Little Richard but never, EVER said he had improved it. In the mid 90s Prince stated he wanted to portray Little Richard in a movie, but it was not something that ever happened. Prince was the baby that Rock N Roll and The King - Little Richard - gave birth to.

@shebrew4807 4 года назад

The Most High Almighty never put the races together but he separated them in the beginning and he commanded his chosen people the Israelites/Negroes not to marry or date the other Nations of People. Little Richard didn’t read his History Book called the Bible.

@patriciadavis2506 4 года назад

God reated ONE RACE & Many Nations, He separated the ntions when they built the tower of Babyon to reach heaven, God himself came down to earth to confuse the speech so they couldn't understand each other,sorry but God didnt command the isrealites not to marry from other nations, it ws other faiths, isn't that's why he mde Moses sister Miriam's hand to a leporous hand because she comained about Moses marrying a Shulamite woman, in those days they was into idol worshipfact is its thesame today, we are not supposed to marry out of our faith eg. Catholic & protestant, in case we turn away from serving our God & follow theirs. shouldn't marry, Muslims & Christians shouldn'tmarry marry

@shebrew4807 4 года назад

Patricia Davis No Sweetie after the Tower Of Babel the Most High Almighty separated the Israelites/Negroes from the other Nations Of People (Deuteronomy 32:8) and commanded them NOT to marry or date the other Nations of People. It wasn’t Moses sister hand the Most High Almighty turned leprorous , it was Moses himself. Here are some scriptures where the Most High commanded the Israelites not to marry or date the other Nations of People: Deuteronomy 7:3, Judges 21:18, Ezra 9:12, Nehemiah 13:25.

@shebrew4807 4 года назад

The Most High Almighty never said anything about not marrying out of your Faith because the Most High Almighty didn’t give Religion, he gave the Israelites Laws, Statues and Commandments. The Bible says that the Most High is the God of the Israelites and NONE ELSE. Joel 2:27.
