He was always so genuine, in spite of his outrageous antics. Didn't have a mean bone in his body. He told hilarious stories and was gracious to everybody.
The true architect of Rock & Roll was Bill Haley and his Comets. Their first record was Rock the Joint in 1951, then Crazy Man Crazy in 1953 and then Rock Around the Clock was recorded in 1954. Chuck Berry hit the charts in August of 1955 with Maybellene, Carl Perkins recorded Blue Suede Shoes in December of 1955 and then Little Richard released Tutti Fruitti in late January 1956. Then Elvis hit the charts in early March of 1956 with Heartbreak Hotel. Little Richard was great, but Bill Haley is the one who really started the ball rolling.
“The originator, never the imitator” The man invented glam rock light years before David Bowie. Thankfully I can say...I am old enough to have seen this broadcast when it was originally aired. I grew up in the best era of music and fortunate enough to have had parents that loved it too.
Absolutely. Little Richard got pretty eccentric in his last years, but I saw a terrific interview from the '80s where he talked a LOT about the barriers he overcame in bringing what he called "race music" to the mainstream. He talked a lot about how uncomfortable the white establishment was with black men performing for white audiences and white girls in particular, and how in a lot of cases it was the executives and manages who insisted he wear his makeup and costumes to appear more effeminate. Whether he later came to like it or not, it's interesting to think about the racist fears of 1950s America as the source of rock's more androgynous stylings in the '70s and even '80s. By the time you had proper 1980s glam rock and hair bands happening, they probably had no idea where it all came from.
AC/DC wouldn't exist without him and Chuck Berry. Take any Little Richard song and replace the piano with an SG and the horn section with a Gretsch G6131 and you have AC/DC.
The early Beatles high pitched 'wooo' singing was obviously inspired (taken from / stolen from ?) Little Richard, as that band and just about every rock'n'roll fan knows. No music is 100% original, but if the idea goes too far (i.e. 'My Sweet Lord' or I.M.O. 'Stairway to Heaven), then it can be seen as plagiarism and a court date may quickly ensue. It's something which all writers and musicians are well aware of, but equally all of them - black, white and brindle - borrow, lift, call it what you will. Listen to all the 'black' hip hop samplings of 'white' music. Oooohhh... racism ? Nah, just what happens in the music biz.
John Lafferty That is a brilliant comment on the brief history of Rock/Pop Music in the US and most of the western world since about 1955. Everyone has been inspired/sampled by many artists starting with the era of LR, Buddy Holly, Chuck Barry and of course Elvis. In the first decades of modern pop music history, it was White Musicians being influenced by majority Black R&B singers in the US. And now in the past 25-30 years or so, Many Hip-Hop Performers mostly Black Artists being influenced by many Rock and Pop stars who happened to be mostly White Artists. John you make a brilliant analysis. Too bad though in this political partisan society, most Pop/Rock music historians, especially those who have Progressive aka Liberal leanings would only discuss the 1950s era of Black Artists being a victim of racism. That sad period of early Rock history is true. However John, you bring a truthful and excellent comments on that aspect of pop music that most contemporary commentators and historians won’t mention. That is the highly popular aspect of “sampling” in pop music especially in Hip-Hop over the last 25-30 years or so.
@@americangiant1003 Thanks for that. Yes, and I agree with you, esp. in regards to the 'progressive', 'liberal' media. It seems a lot of these folk, despite saying they're against discrimination, always want to highlight and create new divisions among people. Clearly they gain political and economic mileage out of this continuance of the hatred.
John Lafferty Without turning this off topic into a modern debate on the highly partisan US divide, I am a moderate on most political views. I can’t stand many of the views of the So called Progressive Liberals and also I can’t stand most of the views of the so called Conservative-based Far Alt Right also known as new “American Nationalism” led by Donald Trump either. In relation to this topic, many of the progressive leaning Music Commentators and historians especially the Millennial era born “experts” would only focus on 1 part of history. As a College Grad, that was fortunate enough to take an elective music college class on 20th Century American Music history, the Instructor did an excellent job on being “objective” and honest on the 1950s era Rock Music revolution. Too bad, school kids and college students in America are now often either taught with either the Progressive or Alt Right/Nationalism political view instead of teaching the damn truth such as this groundbreaking era in modern history. Guys I don’t want to turn this into a political argument just a truthful point on how even political views can cloud a honest and objective chat on Little Richard and his impact on the birth of Rock N Roll into a permanent worldwide art form.
What more can you say? Jimi hendrex was his guitar player, James Brown was his back ground singer and the Beatles did his music before they got discovered!! Little Richard, if it wasn't for him and Chuck Berry, there would be NO ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
One of the great things about rock'n'roll was that it brought people together of no matter what color. Jimi Hendrix clearly didn't care that his Experience, his audience, and much of his contemporaries being white. He was first and foremost a musician, and actually held a major grudge against Mr. Penniman. Little Richard and James Brown, among others, acknowledged that Elvis opened the door for them. And Elvis, when some Texan politician told him to "leave his black girl singers at home", had a great response. He made a point of having the Sweet Inspirations driven round the arena with himself and the racist politician. And I saw that story from the Sweet Inspirations themselves.
RIP to one of the original rock and roll legends. Listen how some of the other name groups was using his material Little Richard is a legend anyone who doesn't know that put down the mustard so you can ketchup.
Never knew this man had such an impact on the music industry!!! He has the most interesting stories to tell. Little Richard is a little before my time, but I do remember him saying how he started it all and he never got the respect he deserved. Also how other people were stealing his music making more money than he did. Looking at all these videos everything starting to make sense. R.I.P. to a great soul!!!!
Wrong. And sadly, it displays your low IQ. Little Richard was great. But the king was and is Elvis Presley. Elvis's soul depth and diversity destroys little richard. And that's saying something, because we love little richard.
@@bradhuskers Elvis popularized rock n roll, he soold soo much albums. Without elvis, rock wouldnt be as huge as it is. Elvis Presley and The Beatles. "Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles", John Lennon famously said about the King of Rock 'n' Roll. and he also said: John Lennon : Before Elvis, there was nothing. “Before Elvis, there was nothing.” “When I first heard Elvis' voice, I just knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss… Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.”
Great awareness by Dick Clark of the significance of the Little Richard. I love the sit down touch - showed equality, importance, and respect in that one act.
Absolutely great to see this.I remember an interview with Paul McCartney from only a few years ago and he said that he was still trying to be Little Richard.Thank you Richard,you changed the world for the better.
He was so gorgeous. He closely resembles the Wodaabe, the most beautiful people in the world as claimed by many. He is so sweet and humble and absolutely endearing.
Seams like old times .... lol .... man you’ve had no idea ... that was 1964.... you wouldn’t never imagine that here we are at 2018 and Little Richards sounds fresh as FRESH !!!!
All I've got to say is he is gorgeous he didn't need any makeup even though he's older now he's still a nice looking man like I said he didn't need any make-up he was naturally beautiful peace out
& the whole time he was getting ripped off for his publishing & royalties Thank god MJ bought his publishing almost 30 years later & gave Richard his $4mil that he deserved
Pretty much all artists of the 50's and 60's were getting ripped off. By the 70's it started to change and artists could make millions playing vegas and touring around the country and the world. Little Richard has been rich for the last 40 years of his life.
@@tubester4567 you're right but in the 60's when artists like sam cooke peeped the game & stressed owning your own publishing & royalties then they made sure he was made an example of & they orchestrated his murder Also read up on Howlin' Wolf..he was another artist who made sure he wasnt ripped off..he even took finance & management courses on the side & was one of the first black artists to buck the trend..
He was especially humble and soft spoken here. Nice interview. Got news he passed today. Just want to mention three people who's music and style wouldn't be the same without Richard: Prince, James Brown, The Beatles, especially Paul who borrowed Richard's scream. RIP Richard. My favorite song from my youth: Keep a Knockin'. I can remember hearing it on vacation in Wheeling, West Virginia outside the Big Boy restaurant when my family was visiting relatives there. We were from Minnesota. One musical moment I've remembered all my life.
So influential in many ways. Intelligent marketeering served he and God well. Rolled through my town many for festivals passing out flyers for Jesus. Last visit was to our historical theater maybe seven? yrs ago. Classy, talented. Complex man. I would like to see another movie showing all he overcame.(SXSW have any ACL footage estate deserves?) We♥️Richard.
Listen to those Philly kids give Little Richard his due!! I bet quite a few of the kids saw him live like Dad and Uncle Bill. RIP to all three. I know they are ripping it up in Heaven!
Wow he was still quiet humble back then ... I love you little Richard, you’re the creator , the originator... the king of Rock’n’Roll wow all the ladies say wow.... all the boys say humm ...
The king. Little Richard deserve all the Respect and credit for having changed the history of music. He is one of the most important pieces on making the landscape of music the way we know it today. Rock in paradise Richard.
How humble was the true King of Rock n’ Roll!! Unfair they “”borrowed”” his material.. they all should pay real money and respect for His Majesty Little Richard.
was working for little Richard no matter what people said about him he lived his own life not what other people thought a real man Linda j peace pray changes everything and people miss him already ,❤️❤️💯💯💯🦋🦋🦋🦋free
True. So many Americans only see skin color, skin color, skin color. I love the US and many of it's people, but they sure have a major scar which blinds them to our common humanity. That needs to heal.
Richard was very young, handsome, & spoke so eloquently. He had the cutest swag here😍
He was always so genuine, in spite of his outrageous antics. Didn't have a mean bone in his body. He told hilarious stories and was gracious to everybody.

Also listen to that cheer when they came out.
Little Richard had a natural raw fine singing voice and could make the piano talk. A consummate showmanship he was.
Seems like a sweet man with the right level of confidence mixed humbleness. I like how he uplifts other people.
He,was very well spoken . Alike, Duke Ellington. Smart Men...

True. So many Americans only see skin color, skin color, skin color. I love the US and many of it's people, but they sure have a major scar which blinds them to our common humanity. That needs to heal.
Thats why i always wanted loved the British invasion bands. They were so open and honest about what music inspired them.
