I have always loved Little Richard. I grew up in the 50s when he was played on the radio every day. My brother loved him and his music too. He would play his records on the Dansette record player. Sit in front of the kitchen table pretending it was a piano and pretended he was Little Richard. I would be jigging and jiving around the room. Ah those happy days. In 1958, I remember when the funfair came to town and Lucille would be blasting out on the Waltzer ride. Everyone was jiving to the sound of the King of Rock n roll. You rarely saw a overweight young person in those days either. We were all skinny from all the jiving we did. We had a ball and it really was a great era to be young in.😎
That is so beautiful to read this, they should still be playing Little Richard Everyday! He influenced Everybody. My mom has some of his 45s, she loved him too, as do I.
Little Richard was a great entertainer in rock and roll and he was very articulate he can express himself in a very well-mannered little Richard may God rest your Soul

wrong, Chuck Berry. Elvis will always have that title, Im ok with that. And all those guys at the start, JLL, Richard, Buddy, Carl, Bo, etc...are part of it. But in its totality, Chuck should have that title. For a lot of reasons. Ask just about any working musician, and most will all say Chuck is the King, overall. Especially those that came along in the 60s 70s, Stones, Beatles, all the way through. Lennon summed it up "If you gave RnR another name, call it Chuck Berry" Richard, an integral part? of course.. but OVERALL , the King? Thats Chuck
Elvis was never the king of anything, he only made a few rock n roll , rockabilly records on the SUN label Jerry Lee Lewis was the king of Rock n Roll , he rocked till the end, Elvis stopped rockin in 1958
I saw him live at a local venue. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Not only is the music great but what folks don't realize is how funny & quick-witted he is totally "off-the-cuff" not scripted. And he stayed after to sign autographs or for pictures or just to meet fans and I've never seen anyone else do that there. He is a genuinely lovely man.
The Coolest,greatest sounds on that boogie woogie, blues, Rock- n-rollmake you wanna get up and dance Piano and that Voice, my God...Awesome!! Some of the best swingin,most infectious music ever,Thank you Little Richard. The true Originator. So missed. ❤
@@EbonyWhitee For the stupid, I explain - welcome to the club of fans of Richard's talent. And about the fact that I'm white, and you're black - no one wants to be black!
Have you watched the totally incredible Canadian tv special on RU-vid , “little richard - where it’s at!” ? It’s from 1968. Will make you want to forget this!😀
TOUS LES CHANTEURS ET CHANTEUSES AMÉRICAINS OU AMERICAINNES OU AFRICAINS OU AFRICAINES ONT LAISSÉ UN TRÉSOR REMARQUABLE À L'EGARD DE LA MUSIQUE ET TOUTES LES MUSIQUES DE DIFFÉRENTS STYLE . BRAVO POUR EUX ET BRAVO POUR ELLES.

Ray Charles! Listen to Lucille Richard got sucked into this sort of stuff. Boogie woogie rocks. Shows the 50s sound was somehow compacted. He sure is a showman going way back in time
THE GREAT LITTLE RICHARD, WHAT A TALENT. THAT ONLY COMES AROUND in A Lifetime, Little Richard was and is the originator of ROCK n ROLL....Period Rythem & Blues had a baby and they called it Rockn Roll. beetles, elvis and jerry copied black artist. and then like often claimed it.
He was underappreciated yet truly innovative and talented. In this era we have all the Auto Tune and Computer, studio DJs incapable of creating. They can only sample... 🙄
GO HEAD MY. BROTHER PLAY THAT PIANO. 👎 LOVE MY BROTHER IN CHRIST P LUCILLE T THAT'S MY INWAY STAY WITH GOD CONTINUES TO BE BLESSED LORD HAVE MERCY SERVANT LUCILLE PAULING. MY BROTHER. RICHARD THE GREATEST OH YEAH
