He was an influential figure in\u00a0popular music\u00a0and culture for seven decades. Nicknamed “The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll,” Richard’s most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for\u00a0rock and roll. Richard’s innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including\u00a0soul\u00a0and\u00a0funk. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from\u00a0rock\u00a0to\u00a0hip hop; his music helped shape\u00a0rhythm and blues\u00a0for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Tutti Frutti” (1955), one of Richard’s signature songs, became an instant hit, crossing over to the pop charts in both the United States and overseas in the United Kingdom. His next hit single, “Long Tall Sally” (1956), hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rhythm and Blues Best-Sellers chart, followed by a rapid succession of fifteen more in less than three years. His performances during this period resulted in integration between White Americans and African Americans in his audience. In 1962, during a five-year period in which Richard abandoned rock and roll music for born again Christianity, concert promoter Don Arden persuaded him to tour Europe. During this time, the Beatles opened for Richard on some tour dates. Richard advised the Beatles on how to perform his songs and taught the band’s member Paul McCartney his distinctive vocalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard is cited as one of the first crossover black artists, reaching audiences of all races. His music and concerts broke the color line, drawing blacks and whites together despite attempts to sustain segregation. Many of his contemporaries, including Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, recorded covers of his works. Taken by his music and style, and personally covering four of Richard’s songs on his own two breakthrough albums in 1956, Presley told Richard in 1969 that his music was an inspiration to him and that he was “the greatest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard was honored by many institutions. He was inducted into the\u00a0Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\u00a0as part of its first group of inductees in 1986. He was also inducted into the\u00a0Songwriters Hall of Fame. He was the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the\u00a0Recording Academy\u00a0and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the\u00a0Rhythm and Blues Foundation. In 2015, Richard received a Rhapsody & Rhythm Award from the\u00a0National Museum of African American Music\u00a0for his key role in the formation of popular music genres and helping to bring an end to the racial divide on the music charts and in concert in the mid-1950s changing American culture significantly. “Tutti Frutti” was included in the\u00a0National Recording Registry\u00a0of the\u00a0Library of Congress\u00a0in 2010, which stated that his “unique vocalizing over the irresistible beat announced a new era in music.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
