At long last, their story comes to and end...er...hold up...it's not the end? It doesn't even know the meaning of the WORD "end?"

Little Richard is a fixture of American culture, and if you were born after the 1950s, you may never have known a time when that wasn’t the case. But chances are, even if you know Little Richard’s name and larger-than-life persona, you still don’t know the half of what he contributed to culture (and not just music culture).
