His music will live on forever, R.I.P.

He called himself the architect of rock ’n’ roll and rightly so, creating groundbreaking sounds and introducing the world to a little song called “Tutti Frutti” in the 1950’s.

Hits in the 1950’s and 60’s included “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and “Lucille.”

The Macon, Georgia, native had a long career after that saw him becoming one of the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, getting a street named after him in his home town and receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1993 Grammys.

Richard succumbed to cancer over the weekend, he was 87.
