Charles Keep A Knockin Connor, original drummer for Little Richard, created the unique Choo Choo Train style of successive eighth notes with a loud back beat used by nearly all subsequent Rock n Roll drummers. His drumsticks are on display at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Media and press interest in Connor continues with interviews on the E! Channel special, Hollywood True Stories: The Little Richard Story. His most recent interview in LA Weekly featured Connor in their 2014 People issue as One of the Fascinating Angelenos. Other recent projects include Connors motivational book, Dont Give Up Your Dreams: You Can Be a Winner Too! Connor will also be featured in a 2015 documentary miniseries for BBC TV exploring the genesis, explosion and legacy of Rock n Roll in America. In addition, Connor will be joining other notable music legends, such as, Paul McCartney, B.B. King, Elton John, Brian Wilson, and more in an upcoming PBS documentary miniseries airing early 2016.
