His records were played in my dads house, so I was intimately aware of the power and the wonderful pomposity of this King and pioneer of the music I love so dearly, but it wasn’t until my dad took little me to see this movie and I was transformed forever. This performance set the blueprint for everything I would do going forward and is still my touchstone. I love you Richard, Rest In Peace. Rip it Up!
He is so beautiful inside and out we see him all the time in nashville he is down to earth and real just like on tv jesus has blessed him he is 80 years old still doing shows wow!!!
May you Rest in Paradise Little Richard. You died unfortunately, during a pandemic, and came into this world during a depression. Your music will live on forever.
No point in comparing artists, as they all have their unique individual qualities and attributes. Little Richard oozed talent and originality. Made a huge impact on the music world. RIP

I was 12 years old in 1973 when I took myself to the cinema to see Jason And The Argronauts, that theatre was full, so I went to see "Let The Good Times Roll. I had no idea what it was... Seeing that movie changed my life and allowed me to appreciate what is so magical about music.. I'd like to thank all the people who filled the theatre to watch "Jason And The Argonauts" for making me truly appreciate wonderful music
May You Rest in Peace with all the Love Heaven and Earth holds for You Your Music Band Family Friends and Fans and so so many More who know You. God Bless You Brother little Richard We all goin to be Mourning the loss of You and missing You already,thank you for The Music
I Heard 👂 That His First Hit Was Back In 1955!! Little Richard Sung = Rock N Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Gospel, And A Little Soul.. That's In His Time Record History Files.. Rest In Peace ✌ To The King 👑 Of Rock & Roll.
Little Richard invented the piano accompaniment of rock' n' roll. Apart from the fact that no rock or pop musician - had such an expressive blues feeling. Mike Jagger, Elvis Presley and the Beatles couldn't keep up with him on this. And in 8:45 a.m. he greets all people, Black, white, red, brown and all other colored people of this world. This announcement is particularly topical today. D. Trump and his followers should finally understand that it was the blacks who invented the blues and thus made a very important cultural contribution to the culture of the United States (US) and all people of the world !!!
You are so right. Donald Trump only kisses up to black people for their vote. He wouldn't even like me because I'm of Italian heritage. He's a phony only looking out for what he can get out of it for himself. He shouldn't be allowed to run for the most prestigious office in the country. Any man who needs to seek affection from a porn star after his wife gave birth is just disgusting. That $130,000 should have been spent on his family plus he wouldn't be in the trouble he is in today. Family should be first and not taken for granted. Melania always speaks highly of Trump. She didn't deserve that humiliation.
Man!. How I really wanted him to be the richest man til his demise, accordin to him in one of his interviews, he didn’t have all the richest, even in his latter yrs/senior citizen yrs.Sad, But he is rich n God bosom now-I luv that more.
@@RHWWFT what about Little Richard. The first rock hit was rocket 88 in 1951! LR took the whole piano part for his hit Good Golly Miss Molly.. Just saying
His ability to enrapture the audience as well as whip them into a frenzy was a sight to behold! Good God, the way those girls looked at him -- a natural high beyond compare. What a powerhouse!
The Soul sound is the difference in Little Richards' rendition of Lucille, Long Tall Sally, Good Golly Miss Molly and others who perform these songs. I like them all pretty much, but Little Richard is my favorite on these songs.
I remember seeing this in the movies with my friends. Amazing Rock and Roll movie. Rhino, Real Gone or any of the reissue companies should Re-release the movie on dvd and blu ray and re-release the soundtrack on cd and vinyl. The soundtrack was originally released through Bell Records/Arista BMG/Sony. CLASSIC!
If Elvis is The King, and Chuck Berry is the Godfather, then Little Richard is the Fairy Godfather of Rock and Roll lol. All lame jokes aside, he is an originator and all-time rock and roll legend.
I wish Little Richard was my fairy godfather.. Life would NEVER be boring! The world lost a black Unicorn when Mr.Penniman passed over, there will never be another like him.. RIP to the Legend!!
@@jimmysapien9961 Sure Jimmy, but I'm my eyes he saved an entire generation from Boredom, Bland Music, Conformity, Stifling Rules and the tired worn out beliefs of the past.. He might of been "saved" as you put it, but more importantly he "SAVED" millions of us FROM indoctrination and Conformity! Have a great day 🌈🌈🌈🌈
I hope every body looked closely & understood the rubric for an artists to be classified as Rock & Roll. Little Richard ran through the aisle despite being told not to before he hit the stage Lol. It's all about being Unpredictable on stage while performing your hit records.He is in fact Rock & Roll himself
beginning at 10:56, Lee Allen (who was with Richard in his Specialty Records days), begins a solo that lasts well over 6 minutes! Greatest rock and roll sax player EVER.
Prince, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox (Euryhtmics), Boy George, Sly Stone, Sylvester, Studio 54 . . . even Madonna - all owe a debt to Little Richard Penniman!
Movie was huge back east where the r and r revival was in full gear . Lost some drive since the early shows but it still was the best show in town . There’s a lot of gold here w Richard but at that point in his recording career when he needed some brilliance on wax , he musically blew his chance to inject some new numbers - I assume he had been cutting some very interesting and commercial things for Reprise. But he stuck to the oldies here. Crowd didn’t seem to mind 😀
The man with Richard in the limo and leading the band is the legendary bandleader, Robert "Bumps" Blackwell. He started working with Richard in the 50's. Ray Charles and Quincy Jones also played in his band in Seattle in the 40's.
Muito obrigado por seu comentário. Ele foi também co-autor de Long Tall Sally, Rit It Up, Ready Teddy, Tutti Frutti, Good Golly, Miss Molly, Don't Be Cruel, All Shook Up, Goodnight Irene, Return To Sunder, Paralyzed, entre outras. (from Brasil)
🎶Rest in Paradise Lil Richard Penniman from Macon, GA🎶 He would visit my great grandmothers home in the 40's to use her daughter"s perfume and face powder by COTY. He lived on 4th Ave and they lived on Middle St & 4TH Ave. He was a teenager and so was my Mom. They were the Grant Family.👄❤👄
