The name certainly affected my perception, I always thought he was probably only 5 ft 4 or 5 or something! Speaking of 5 ft 4, isn't Van Morrison still missing Rob?

Another mystery to solve, Rob. Why would a 5’9.5” man claim 5’8” and then 5’11”?

Editor RobAn honest mistake perhaps?

Agreed Rob, but the question remains… why “Little” Richard?
5’9.5” is not little today, let alone in the 1950s. I read somewhere he was called that from his small stature as a child/young man.

Editor RobYeah, sounds like it came from his childhood days.
