Hey Wolf, here's a pic of Little Richard from sometime in the 50's:

Compare that pic with the one at post 1 and see that the face isn't the same. I actually think the guy in that pic is from one of the other early bands that Jimi played with. Might be Curtis Knight (center):

Here's one of Jimi onstage with Little Richard (Jimi at left):

Sorry Windflier, you are incorrect, it's not Little Richard, it's Wilson Pickett

I know I didn't link that correctly but check out the picture on Wilson's Wiki bio... Kinda looks like Eddie Murphy doesn't he. Also Jimi played in Wilson's band on the chitlin circuit for a while. Plus I've seen that picture of the two of them together before... Game, Set, Match :)
