That " sweet babies " gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣 Screamed like a white lady in church & I was blind 1st 😂😂😂😂 Too damn funny... 30 years later and that skit is still hilarious....
I'm pretty sure the 12 in question are all executives from Speciality Records, the company Little Richard was contracted for when he released "Tutti Frutti".
I didn't know Little Richard was really like/just how spot on Keenan was until I watched the full version of the 1989 AMAs (which is on RU-vid). Keenan got him down to a T.
Unlike SNL, LC never beat a dead joke for 10 minutes. There skits were to the point and by the time you got the joke and were cracking up, they were ending it and you were asking for more.
I think Keenan Ivory Wayans did a better job as Lil RIchard. He had the voice, the timing, and facial expressions down packed. Jamie Foxx did alright, but I love this version better.
"You know they never gave me nothing. That's right, I haven't got a Grammy yet. They never gave me nothing. Paul McCartney got a Grammy. When I heard that I screamed like a white lady in church." LMAOO!!
He is. If you look at Lil Richard interviews, Keenan has a lot of his intonations down pat...maybe not the tone as much but he's the closest I've seen to him.
