RIP Little Richard (1932 - 2020)

The music world lost another legend today as Little Richard has died.

Richard's hit songs "Tutti Frutti" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" made him an early 50's rock 'n' roll pioneer.

Over his storied career Little Richard made several appearances with the Muppets.

In 1994, he appeared on Sesame Street performing a very "Little Richarized" version of "Rubber Duckie."



This version appeared on the albums Sesame Street Celebrates! and Splish Splash: Bath Time Fun.

Later that same year he sang about feelings with Rosita.


Also in 1994, Little Richard was one of several celebrities to make cameos in the Muppets' music video "She Drives Me Crazy."



Richard made his final appearance with the Muppets in a 1997 episode of Muppet Tonight where we learned B
eaker does an uncanny Little Richard impression. He later performed "I Hear You Knocking" with Zoot and Animal. 






Little Richard was 87.
