Easy to see why Jimi Hendrix (fresh out of the Air Force) couldn’t last sitting in the background playing the same chords every gig. All power and respect to the Caitlin Circuit stars of yesteryear….Gods, one and all…
Was at school at this time, we didn't have ITV so I knew nothing,.Next day at School everyone was talking about this show. It's amazing, Sounds Incorporated helped make this sensational 🤪
My wife's family was celebrating a birthday at a Mexican restaurant in Tullahoma, TN. It was almost 2:30 and I saw someone who looked like Little Richard sitting a a table nearby. Couldn't be I said to myself. But, I was wrong. He lived nearby and ate there regularly. He said he'd like to sing Happy Birthday but didn't since he wasn't at his best at the time.. He had recently had hip surgery and was using a wheelchair. Just a pleasant, nice man.
"Что ж ты так надрываешься, сынок?"- говорили Ричарду Перельману старики, негры-блюзмэны. У него была несколько странная карьера: то он несколько лет проповедник в баптистской церкви, то вновь возвращался на сцену. Потом снова уходил в религию и снова возвращался в рок'н'ролл. "Когда-то Маккартни учился у меня подвывать, когда они сопровождали меня в турне по Европе, будучи ещё безвестными. Им было у кого учится."- с гордостью говорил он, вспоминая свой тур с "битлами" в начале 60х. Они подрядились тогда быть аккомпанемент-группой на его гастролях.
I watch Little Richard doing Whole Lot of Shakin' and I am just swept away with the song, always leaves a smile on my face. The backing band are having as much fun as the audience! Good music never dies and what an entertainer he was. Love it.
I'm back again, this show is incredible, I'll always keep watching it. Little Richard puts so much joy into it, this is the best Rock n Roll of all, the real nitty-gritty stuff. Everyone there in the studio must feel the same way - people in the audience, Sounds Incorporated musicians, cameramen, the lot must surely regard it as a great highlight in their lives. Lucky devils, wish I'd been there!
The Ramones commented favourably on Little Richard. Raw music back in the 50s, 60s, 70s. Lou Reed a man and just his guitar. That’s my philosophy. Cheers.
I don't understand why Pat Boone thought he could do Little Richard's songs. Pat Boone would never be the entertainer that Little Richard was. I'm happy that Little Richard eventually got paid for his contributions to the music industry. He is fabulous!!
This is most likely the broadcast that got Lemmy to quit his job and pursue music, he stated in an interview that he watched Little Richard on TV when he decided to do so.
