He was born December 5, 1932, in Macon, Georgia as Richard Wayne Penniman. Little Richard lived at times in Moore County, TN and was seen at various businesses in Coffee County, including enjoying meals at Cracker Barrel in Manchester, TN.
Little Richard’s attorney told the Associated Press the legendary musician died of bone cancer.
