God bless Mr. Richard Wayne Penniman God bless Rock & Roll. Nice to imagine the yesterday meeting in the sky, on a cloud, between Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown. Amazing.
Richard once said that Elvis Presley was "a blessing"...because Elvis LOVED "black music", and brought it to a white audience, and brought MANY black artists into more opportunity than they ever could have attained otherwise...
@bobweiram6321 say it again! Louis Armstrong, Calloway, Chick Webb, Ella Fitzgerald were only music they listen to in Germany, France, etc in 1930-40s.
Little Richard was an incredible performer. He would work himself into total exhaustion by the end of his set. He was not really sane, of course, but what a gift it was to see him live with his own band in the 1960s. NOBODY packed more wallop than Richard & I saw the Stones live back in those days.
Little Richard is the King of Rockin Roll He came first Elvis gets the the credit but Jesus knows the truth Little Richard is still doing concerts 80 years old we love you Little Richard the Truth always wins in the end where is Elvis by the way
It's impossible to listen to this man's music and not be overcome with excitement and energy. Dancing wildly is one of the side-effects of his music. His songs should come with a warning label. RIP Little Richard. You were one of the greats! ❤
As a teenager in the '50's Lucille was my favorite Rock 'N Roll song. I wore out many a 45 RPM Record playing this song. The beginning beat was the best ever.
Lucille has one of the iconic intros in rock history. If something aint movin check your pulse. Jimi Hendrix was his guitar player for a short period of time.
Little Richard rocks the stages when he played the piano. He knew how to keep that heavy sound using the saxophones in a continuous pattern.He left the stage for 10 years , but came back with no new record .But Lucia was so ahead of his time that the new generation like it.
The original, the rock n roll maker was Little Richard!! The others just can follow him! Elvis was good looking, and even just could return after 10 years, but only for few years!
I love Little Richard! I used to live in Chicago during the 80th and worked with children. Whenever the kids got tired , one would sag Tutti Frutti, please!!! I turn on Little Richard real loud and everybody including me would jump up and dance like crazy. Than everybody got back at their seats and did their work. A few minutes before the end of the hour I turned on Lucille and we did it again. Wonderful memories. Greetings from Germany.
Remember watching Little Richard on TV as a young child in the late 60’s early 70’s and in complete awe. I would turn around and ask my mother if she remembered him growling up, she couldn’t answer right away because she was busy dancing. There was my answer.
Това е най- голямата революция в името Литл Ричард! Това е феномен в музиката, която ние обичахме през 60-ъд години! СВетла му памет. Много ми липсва този изпълнител!!!
Thanks for this Noel. I think it's hard for today's younger folks to understand (or even believe) what it was like for Black musicians back when Little Richard came along. When I was growing up in the South, we (Blacks) didn't hear black music on the radio and if Black musicians were ever on t.v., our t.v. screen would suddenly fade to black. When the Black artist finished, our t.v. screen would fade back to lights, camera, action! And this was not in the 1800s!
Estou em 2024 mas, olhando para trás, noto como o início é complicado! Mas gosto muito do Little! Aliás, adoro! Haja competencia desse artista! Sempre terpa meu aplauso!
Незабвенное Время Величайшего Прорыва в Музыке ! Как грибы после дождя ! Золотые Имена ! Талантливые Исполнители ! Гениальные Композиторы ! Ярко ! Броско ! Пробудили ! Взорвали Головы ! Через Годы ! Страны и Континенты !!!
This is the man who made music happen for me. I was only a toddler when I first heard my grandad's rock and roll records playing and Little Richard' was the one who had me bouncing round the room. Immense performances and what a voice!!!!!!!!
This man is by far the Father of Rock-N-Roll and a true force of nature. I cannot think of another performer with this man's repertoire. I am in awe of the voice, kindness and stage presence of Little Richard. All others followed this example/blueprint to become what they became. All hail King Little Richard!
did you say repertoire? LMFAO he's a one trick pony. he lived decades longer than segregated America, YET still failed miserably at reaching elvis's massive critically acclaimed recordings. decades longer. that tells you why he remains beneath the king. nowhere near elvis's level of diversity.
@@bradhuskers Totally agree. He always fell back on his work from the 50's. The work that actually made a difference and inspired people. But it's his own fault, he kept going in and out of music. Joining the church, then performing, then rejoining the church. He ruined his own career. Not to mention his arrogant screeching of him being the king of rock. No king has to tell everyone he's king...
@@bradhuskers most black artist weren’t given as much attention as white artists. America was so racist, they couldn’t accept a black musician to be good.
@@anythingchannel9326 Are you educated? We already know that. During the 1950's. That's the way it was. However, little richard lived decades longer. Black artists were now being played all over after the 1950's. Little richard lived decades past that time, AND STILL couldn't reach elvis's massive body of critically acclaimed recordings. Meaning that little richard wasn't as diverse as elvis. Otherwise, after the 50's, little richard would've been able to surpass elvis. But rhe reality is that he was nowhere near elvis's level of soul, depth and diversity. He didn't have anywhere near elvis's talent. He was given the opportunity, by living a long life, but he wasn't able to come anywhere near elvis. Stop embarrassing yourself.
@@yayastedi 100% correct. He's a great pioneer. But ultimately, despite living decades longer than elvis, he failed miserably at reaching elvis's level of success, because he just wasn't as great.
Little Richard truly was a pioneer that set the foundational stones of what would become Heavy metal/grunge/ Rock and roll and many other genres of rock.
I don't know how one can calculate Little Richards contributions to American culture. But it was great. He is the true father of Rock-n-Roll, in my opinion. His influence casts a long shadow over all pop music that came later. R&B, Funk, Rock, Punk, disco etc all owe something to him. His energy on stage was unmatched. He was the first gender bending superstar. He was the first gay rock icons. He paved the way for black artists to become mainstream to the horror of post-war white suburban parents. Cheers to an innovator, one of the brightest stars of the 20th century, and a true legend. Rest in Power Richard. We love you.
Little Richard by all means is allowed to claim he is the king! because he by a high range is! Little Richard is the King of Rock N Roll and has the best voice, can hit high and low notes! they tried to steal it when he was absent but he Came Back and Collected what was truthfully his!!
That's my favourite moment of Little Richards when he says I want all to women to say Wooooooow .... And all the man to say Huuuuh ! Amazing he's just putting how it actually is !
john white subjective and not undisputed!! Some go for .... Chuck, Buddy, Bill, Jerry, Carl, Eddie, Gene or even on occasion that kid from Tupelo. Or how about Esquerita? So in your world it's Lil Richard. Lemmy would agree with you ... I can dig it. I can dig it all!!! ⚘⚘❤
There's no Prince, Rick James, Elvis, Chuck B, without Lil Richard.
Truly the king of rock and roll!

Are you talking about his package?
@@jou7363 Nope, absolutely Rock'n Roll ! But of course, it was vastly influenced by black music at that time (blue, boogie-woogie, etc...)
None of you were around in 1956, there wasn't rock and roll before this cat. He was an anomaly
Richard once said that Elvis Presley was "a blessing"...because Elvis LOVED "black music", and brought it to a white audience, and brought MANY black artists into more opportunity than they ever could have attained otherwise...
Black artists were already huge all over the world before the US. It
@bobweiram6321 say it again! Louis Armstrong, Calloway, Chick Webb, Ella Fitzgerald were only music they listen to in Germany, France, etc in 1930-40s.
This is how Rock and Roll started. Little Richard is father of Rock and Roll!!
You know it brother
Little Richard at 41 here, amazing he broke through so many barriers, great band too. RIP
He did more for gays and Black Lives Matter than all of the protesters today combined.

He is a good musician.
