I'm confused. In what way is that E unit "Little Richard's locomotive?"

Think of it as Charles Connor's locomotive.  Connor was the drummer Little Richard asked to make 'a rhythm that sounded like a train'...

Wow, I had no idea that was Little Richard’s locomotive! He was and still is a legend in the music world. Without him, music wouldn’t have been the same.

Think of the music they have there in heaven. Little Richard with James Brown- woo, that's gotta be great!

I remember watching the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, with Little Richard, Faith Hill, Gloria Estefan, and a zydeco band, all jamming and playing "Jambalaya," among other things. Fantastic music, and a straight performance by Richard with no over-the-top stuff, just a fine musician doing what he did best.  There's a YouTube video of the same but the tape quality's lousy, doesn't do the performance justice at all.  

Time marches on and we keep losing legends.  That just sucks, you know?
