Why is Little Richard on the list to be King?

He is the Self proclaimed in his own words "Queen"

As for Elvis being King... Hes Elvis he has the title by giving by popular demand, but Ive always thought of him as a Pop icon for Rock n Roll.

Chuck Berry
Jerry lee Lewis
Buddy Holly
These were the guys I remember from Music class I know there are tons more..... And I still can listen to with ease. I rarely find myself listening to Elvis but that's just my taste, I think they come from my Grandmother, she loves Holly, Lewis and Ritchie Valens, Damn she played out La Bamba, glad I got her that Johnny Cash Greatest hits for Christmas

Truth is I never understood titles in music..... but I dont think I can judge anything from that era unless I was around in the 50's and argue it.

In fact I think I am going to have to go make myself a Old School Rock N Roll Playlist.... I think I need one of those.

*edit Damn did I just bump this?
