According to a local TV station. He attended Oakwood University (then "college") way back when, the only connection I know of, other than playing here a few times before he got big...

That's really nice that he's going home......a real legend in our music history.

Maybe that was the first place he read "A wop bop alu bop, a wop bam boom!" in the ancient Hebrew texts.

Without the virus, this burial would be a prime chance for locals to celebrate Little Richard's life. I can imagine there would have been a very flamboyant funeral in his honor.

I'm sure. The arrangements have been released, with a note to attendees that you can remain in your car...

I saw him in the corridor of my hotel when I was at a wedding in Shreveport. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but there is no mistaking Little Richard.
