Little Richard, the high-pompadoured singer, songwriter and pianist whose explosive performances set early rock n' roll afire, has died at age 87, according to reports.

The news was first reported by Rolling Stone, as confirmed by his son Danny Penniman. As of publishing, the cause of death is not yet known.

Little Richard called himself "the architect of rock n' roll," and as much as he loved hyperbole and self-promotion, he was pretty much right.

His musical career extended over seven decades, but he created the blueprint for the gnre -- and for its most glorious excesses -- in just more than two years at its beginning.

The early history of rock 'n' roll is a story of segregation -- and Little Richard, who died of bone cancer at 87 on May 9, was a key player in the fight to destroy it.Because of Jim Crow laws, and racism in general, African-American musicians from Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to Motown revues traveling through the South spent much of the 20th century relegated to black hotels and black restaurants, denied entrance even to hotels where they were headlining. Ballrooms and auditoriums drew physical ropes through their audiences to separate blacks and whites from dancing or congregating together when Chuck Berry or Lloyd Price were on stage.
