.PaulMcCartney has written a touching tribute to Little Richard, who died Saturday
Paul McCartney said he learned “everything he knows” from Little Richard in a tribute to the late rock legend posted on social media early morning. Richard, who shared stages with the Beatles early in their career and whose songs the group covered extensively, died of cancer Saturday at the age of 87.
The young Beatles performed with Richard at a show during one of their long residencies at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany, which is where the group truly learned their craft. The Beatles covered Richard classics like “Long Tall Sally,” “Lucille” and “Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!” — nearly always sung by McCartney. And he paid tribute to the singer in 1965 with the obvious homage “I’m Down,” which one could argue is the best Little Richard song that Little Richard never wrote.
