Little Richard's band never got the credit it deserves -- two tenor saxophones, one baritone and one bass sax in unison is what gives his songs that heavy, driving sound.
As a lifetime lover of R&R this is one of the best, I am 80 now and love all the oldies, real music. The beginning of R&R music!! So many amazing talented musicians that made the sound we all love so much-- influenced many of today's great bands and guitar players.
It's been a great time to grow up in this music era. I'm 58 and my parents were hippies, so I heard so much music from most genres since I was born. My kids 18, 19, and 23, now collect vinyl. They love music, too. I just saw John Lennon interview where he was saying Whole Lotta Shakin' can't be improved which brought me to this video. It's fantastic🎉
My son is 15 and had been listening to Little Richard's music since he was 5. He started taking piano lessons because of Little Richard. The day he passed, my son couldn't stop crying. Thanks Little Richard for possessing the power to move people and helping me bond with my son.

This footage is incredible-Little Richards energy,singing,working the audience,the great backing band,Little Richard is one of the great characters of Rock n Roll
@@STANDREW2 yes,not only were they a good backing band for live acts but they were also a notable session group which led to them being signed by Brian Epstein and being the support act for The Beatles on one of their major stadium concerts in the USA
one hell of a lot of blacks took credit when white people were writeing their songs for them. even a lot of blacks didn't respect richard, they knew he was on the down low at your local bus station bathroom. but hey, whitey!
This is a study in how a performer works an audience. He starts out asking everyone to shake, almost as if he is asking their permission to stir them up. Then he begins the song and does exactly that. He then stops, and removes his jacket. At that moment, you can see in his face that he knows what he has done to that audience. He takes it all in, the raw energy of that moment, and then calmly walks back into the electricity, knowing that he is about to take them even further, and then uses their energy to go full speed ahead. It’s a precious, immeasurable moment of the youth culture of the time being absolutely captivated by this amazing artist, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything quite like it, even from James Brown or Jackie Wilson.
I've seen many artists own a room like this... Little Richard was a master but this video does what is rarely seen: capture that uprising of energy between performer and audience. Maybe it's the intensity of the intimacy: this is a room with 200?
Richard drew from his musicality to perform from deep inside his soul. A transcendent performer, he called himself an “entertainer” but he owned the music and the audience.
@@mikehurley1016 It's partly because the producers clearly let the audience get up and do what all audiences felt like doing but sometime weren't able to do. Being a teen on the scene on those shows brought me here.
Some producers prohibited live audiences from getting up and doing what this fantastic audience was able to do. They're well prompted ahead of time to 'remain seated, no outbursts, etc.' In order for the recording to be effective sometimes. I lived in L.A. from '64-'67, being around live concerts and recordings. You can see many videos of audiences 'just sitting there' when not directed to do otherwise (always extremely frustrating for me to watch, but I get it)...and so THIS footage is exquisite; the spontaneity is superb and this film of Little Richard could be studied in sociology classes as to 'what people do when the music moves them no holds barred." RIP Little Richard. It was a long run, sir.
This is what rock'n'roll sounds like. Generations have strived to achieve Richard's electrifying performance. Now, sixty years later, his is still the standard for what rock should be.
This song has a convoluted history. It was originally written by a white country singer, Roy Hall, but the first record was by Black R&B queen Big Maybelle. Jerry Lee Lewis (as close as the white race came to producing its own Little Richard) covered it and made it an enormous hit, and now here's Little Richard himself taking it over.
My viewings of this must be in the thousands by now, and every single time I wish I was in the audience. Absolutely incredible energy, and his band somehow match that. Absolute raw musical power.
I saw him at the greatest rock and roll revival ever at the Omni theater in Atlanta in 1973. The line up included Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Bill Haley and the Comets, Shirelles, Chubby Checker and the King of Rock and Roll- Little Richard. Little Richard was the closing act and OMG what a show. After her worked the audience into a frenzy, he did a 20 minute.version of Good Golly Miss Molly. He proceeded to climB a 10 foot tall tower of speakers and continuing to sing and dance as he started taking off his clothes and tossing them to the audience, He finally got down to a tiny speedo. I looked back and there were at least 50 cops in face shields and riot gear who did not know what to do. RICHARD LEFT NO DOUBT IN ANYONE'S MIND THAT HE WAS AND STILL IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. RIP RICHARD!!!!
This fantastic performance was filmed by the British TV channel GRANADA in its Manchester studios in late November 1963. Little Richard had just completed a 30 gig UK tour alongside The Everly Brothers and a new British group called, strangely, the Rolling Stones. On his six week UK tour, Little Richard had been backed by The Flintstones but for this TV gig, it seems he preferred Sounds Incorporated (who had backed him on his 1962 UK tour).
Now that he has just died, we look back and realize what a fantastic, wonderful, enormously influential and gifted performer Little Richard was in every way. The Beatles, the Stones, and everyone else of his time and generation were enthralled by him.
To all you young people out there, everything you are listening to in one way or another is rooted from this man Little Richard. Nothing would be possible without him.
This is a one in a million person. His charm, simplistic approach to life, and wits are unparalleled. From the interviews I've seen of him, the final years of his life were fulfilling. I'm happy, that someone who gave people so much great art and happiness died fulfilled. That doesn't happen that frequently.
Little Richard backed by Sounds Incorporated the perfect combination. The full on brass sound is just like all his classic records. This has a club feel to it rather than a TV studio,it's hard to believe this is 60 years ago the atmosphere is amazing!
Loved him in '57 ( high school) & love him still! There's only ONE Little Richard! Noone else like him ever! Still makes me smile when I hear him sing!
Like or love him....u cant hate him And if ur honest, you will give this man his due. Everytime u hear a song that makes u move ur ass. U can say thank you to Lil Richard for laying the foundation of all things Rock!
I noticed that too. But in all honesty they were most likely picked before the show to do that. They were all in the se row and got up right in cue. The camera was positioned to get closeups of them., etc. Magic of showbiz means you have to make it look spontaneous. However that applause at the end seemed really genuine!
@@sturgemoreland1381 White? Okay. Even the colored can be successful no question . But this man has simply everything he distinguishes himself from all, appearance, style, etc.. Who wants to have a good singer or actor who doesn't look good. Elvis was optimal from top to bottom. Is so. Elvis is the king . I am Elvis fan since my 11th year of life and stay it also until I bite into the grass. America has one more culture, one more icon. And this is Elvis. Be proud of your country.
@@EAAEAEAEAEAE Little Richard INVENTED ROCK N ROLL. Elvis, like Pat Boone IMMITATED Little Richard. Elvis is called "The King" because he became wildly popular among whites with his imitation of black Memphis artists. However, Elvis did not create Rock N Roll; he did not compose his hits. For these reasons Little Richard has repeatedly stated that he is the King of Rock N Roll.
this man show James Brown how to start this man was a true entertainer he knew how to make you laugh and he knew how to make you want to get up and dance he was Little Richard rest in peace and be with our God
It's a show from the UK called "Don't Knock the Rock" in 1963, Little Richard said he's the King , the originator the architect & emancipator of Rock n Roll but he never said he was the inventor. Fat's Domino was recording since 1949 & playing since 1942 before Little Richard. As piano players they heard boogie woogie a popular style in the 1930's & 40's. Little Richard wasn't the first piano player to play standing up. In the 1940's there was a black boogie woogie pianist named Maurice Rocco who played & sang standing up & he was the blueprint & role model for Little Richard he must've seen him in the 1940's. Little Richards wild stage act set the standard for every rock n roll artist & everyone from Elvis & Jerry Lee to Prince & Michael Jackson all learned to rock n roll from Little Richard he was the man.
He was a huge inspiration and the reason behind now famous bands like Beatles, Rolling Stones etc James Brown and jimmy Hendrix played for him. “He’d be named the King of Rock n Roll if he wasn’t black” He said it in an interview. He was brilliant singer/entertainer. RIP
Surely ... one of the greatest live performances ever captured on tape ... the audience the musicians , the shirelles (?) ... and of course little richand himself ... they were all 'there' that night... fantastic
It always seems like his background musicians are having the greatest times of their lives. Maybe they were. This guy! Loving some Little Richard lately! The king
This is what you call real live Music History , What a Performer, Fantastic Backing Band, Sounds Incorporated, And the UK,Guys and Girls, really Enjoying themselves, 🎷🎶🎸Give me a Time Machine Please🎶🎷🎸💖Love from Scotland 🎶🎸💖
Little Richard at his best, without costume and eccentric hairstyle, the Sounds Incorporated in total fusion with him like never another band and the Shirelles so sexy!!!
the "costume and eccentric hair" were a part of what made him who he was, ...and he helped pave the creative way for performers like Prince and David Bowie. Love this video too, but the man was an icon for many reasons.
Arlene Hermann I’m not sure of your definition of authentic. There are so many interviews of him talking about how he dressed up as a kid. I think that’s an authentic part of him. But it’s not really for us to decide what is authentic for him. Maybe LR would have liked being a gilded lily. Look at his interview with Joan Rivers (her last show), where he discusses his style. I think you call it authentic because the style here is more mainstream and doesn’t distract from the music-for you.
+seldenkid48 Rarely is a cover of a song better than the original, but you do have to and it to Little Richard: takes a great song to an even higher level! Go man!
It is 20 20 and his music this song still sounds good as it did when he first released it. Little Richard was a good looking man back in his day and time but my gosh he had a voice on him he can really sing his heart out and play the piano. He really was an entertainer.
He first left rock and roll in 1957 to attend the Seventh-Day Adventist school, Oakwood College. He came back to rock and roll by the time this was filmed obviously. He then quit singing his hit r&r songs in the 1980s for a while, but came back to r&r again, until he could no longer continue because of health. Even during his most outrageous times in music, he continued to distribute Adventist literature..."Steps to Christ", to almost everyone he met. He never really "quit" his religion...he just did not always live up to what he believed...not unlike his friend, Jerry Lee Lewis.
I was not born in the right time. Should have been born in 40 to dance in 60's in America. Thx very much the one who put this video on line for us to jump into the past. 🎉❤
Sends shivers down my spine. The black girls move so easily, with such cool, while Richard blows the place apart. If ever anyone asks why I love rock, I just play them this.
Still one of the best live performances of all time.
Absolutely.
THE REAL KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
Little Richard was the first great rock and roll singer

Elvis Presley WISHED He had the energy, power and sheer force of nature dynamic that Mr. Richard possessed in abundance.
They say Elvis was king of rock, but Little Richard was the King of Rock and Roll, his music still moves today.
Elvis is bullshit. Imitator, not the original.
Elvis said Fats Domino was the King of Rock N Roll
I do agree with you, Jerry Lee Lewis & Little Richard pioneered rock ´n´ roll.

@@lauralacava7931 Both were part of who he was, but this version seems more authentic. The costumes and eccentric hair were like gilding a lily.
Arlene Hermann I’m not sure of your definition of authentic. There are so many interviews of him talking about how he dressed up as a kid. I think that’s an authentic part of him. But it’s not really for us to decide what is authentic for him. Maybe LR would have liked being a gilded lily. Look at his interview with Joan Rivers (her last show), where he discusses his style. I think you call it authentic because the style here is more mainstream and doesn’t distract from the music-for you.
Lo ascolto sempre che tempi non si dimentica
How maney of young people are still with us today?
J'adore qu'elle belle époque j'aimerais tellement être dans cette année du Rock n'Roll 💞💞
He invented Rock and Roll. What a star
+seldenkid48 Rarely is a cover of a song better than the original, but you do have to and it to Little Richard: takes a great song to an even higher level! Go man!
He didn't invent R&R Chuck Berry did that, But he sure did send us all over the moon with his energy and stage presence!!
Both Richard and Chuck recorded rock n roll after the king.
TheOnlyOneKingElvis shut up
I only post facts
Great Little Richard❤! King of Rock-'n'-roll
One of the original founders of Rock & Roll and its greatest performer, bar none!
I remember the day he past, drove around town blasting Lil Richard in his honor. RIP brother.
If somebody else was the KING Little Richard is THE LIVING EMPEROR OF ROCK!!!!!!!! and will never be DETHRONED!!
caucasian chappelle ummm No
By far the best version of this song.
Best male voice in music history
It is 20 20 and his music this song still sounds good as it did when he first released it. Little Richard was a good looking man back in his day and time but my gosh he had a voice on him he can really sing his heart out and play the piano. He really was an entertainer.
He didn't release it, the song is Jerry Lee Lewis
Richard is 85 now in 2018, he’s in a wheelchair now and preaching Jesus in the Seventh-day Adventist Church thank you Richard
Because he said the devil was driving him and now yes is a preacher.
It’s called growing up. We all were young at one time. He was powerful and talented
@Toni Sumblin Yo!! I agree ... BUT...I still love the man, and his music!!
He first left rock and roll in 1957 to attend the Seventh-Day Adventist school, Oakwood College. He came back to rock and roll by the time this was filmed obviously. He then quit singing his hit r&r songs in the 1980s for a while, but came back to r&r again, until he could no longer continue because of health. Even during his most outrageous times in music, he continued to distribute Adventist literature..."Steps to Christ", to almost everyone he met. He never really "quit" his religion...he just did not always live up to what he believed...not unlike his friend, Jerry Lee Lewis.
When GOD takes over it's like no other feeling in the world.
Absolutely aWeSoMe❣️what an unforgettable individual. A true philanthropist ✨🎶
Now this guy IS the king of rock & roll.
One of the greatest Live Performances I’ve ever ever seen!!
RIP Richard ❤️❤️❤️
Jerry Lee Lewis , Little Richards y James Brown se dejaban la piel en el escenario.
Don't forget Chuck Berry
Imagine hearing Little Richard for the first time in the 60s!
Bye, Richard. You gave us a bunch of great times!
This performance is full of energy. It's pure talent no auto tune. That's the reason why I love rock and roll music.
I saw Elvis 1front row would have rather seen little richard.
I saw Elvis when16 would much rather seen this guy
Rest in peace RP from England, sad news he's passed but "oh my soul" what a life he led, and the legacy he's left us x
The Gospel roots are evident. Great stuff.
I was not born in the right time. Should have been born in 40 to dance in 60's in America. Thx very much the one who put this video on line for us to jump into the past. 🎉❤
It doesn't matter how many times I see this it still sends electricity through me every time.
Me too, i wish I was in that era of rock & roll
@@joyceellis7612 I WAS A KID BACK IN THE '50'S AND THE MUSIC WAS GREAT BACK THEN.....THANKS TO LITTLE RICHARD

Lovedo oggi 7 3 24 ok .
Very familiar to black Southern Baptist church service!
Sends shivers down my spine. The black girls move so easily, with such cool, while Richard blows the place apart. If ever anyone asks why I love rock, I just play them this.
