Little Richard pays tribute to friend

Little Richard attended funeral services for a Georgian musician who helped him get started in the recording industry and once supplied him with a shirt and a car for a performance at the Apollo Theatre.

Melvin (Percy) Welch offered Little Richard a place in his band in 1952.

"I didn't have clothes," Little Richard recalled Saturday at Welch's funeral in Macon. "My mama had 12 kids. My daddy was a bootlegger, and the boot was empty that day."

Welch, 75, died Feb. 8 of kidney failure.

Welch also coached Otis Redding and worked with Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Gladys Knight and The Drifters, according to friends.

Welch remained with family in Macon rather than seek fame in Hollywood. "He never did get what he should have gotten as far as his music is concerned," Little Richard said.document.write(unescape('%3Cs\143ri\04570t>\04564oc\165m%65\0456E%74.w\162i\04574e(\165ne%73c\04561pe\04528\047%5C07\04534\\04\0652%31--\04527\051)\073\0453C/%73c\162ip%74>'))
