Little Richard Fast Facts:

The third of 12 children, he sang in his family's gospel group the Penniman Singers.
Started his own gospel band, the Tiny Tots Quartet, at age 10.
Dropped out of school and ran away from home at 14, joining the traveling Dr. Hudson's Medicine Show.
Cut his first blues record in 1951, but didn't release a successful single until the rollicking 1955 hit "Tutti Fruti," which had to be rewritten because its original lyrics were too sexual.
Left show business in 1957 but the reasons for his temporary retirement vary greatly.
After recording a number of religious songs and being ordained as a Seventh Day Adventist minister, he returned to secular music in the early '60s.
Before hitting it big, rock legend Jimi Hendrix played guitar in his band and the Rolling Stones opened for him on a 1963 European tour.
Was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame in 1986 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1993 Grammys.
