    Little Richard was one of the true pioneers of Rock. Back then almost everyone was an 'original', but Little Richard was a 'stand-out original.' I also noticed another original sitting at the tables, Billy Haley and the Comets. 😎

    Classic! Little Richard, RIP! Little Richard taught The Beatles how to "woooh" like that and they returned the favor by covering "Long Tall Sally". Little Richard was a singular figure in the history of rock and roll. When you're ready for more from him check out "Good Golly Miss Molly", "The Girl Can't Help It", "Keep a-Knockin'", "Rip It Up", and "Jenny, Jenny" along with many others. And for more music from the fifties in that style, check out Big Joe Turner "Shake, Rattle and Roll", "Flip Flop & Fly", and "Corrine, Corrina"; Larry Williams "Marie Marie", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "Bad Boy"; and LaVern Baker "Jim Dandy", "See See Rider", and "Tweedle Dee"; and Louis Jordan "Caldonia", "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby", and "Keep A-Knockin' (But You Can't Come In)" -- Fire!

    4:37 what an absolute legend and one of the most important people in the history of music. This is ridiculously good! Look at his beginnings where he was working for Greyhound buses and someone was like "Hey man you can sing pretty good" and the rest is history. One of the most talented singers the world has ever seen and his music still has an impact today in 2022.

    At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, when my son was 3 years old, we finished the tour, went outside on the plaza, speakers started playing Tutti Frutti. My son spontaneously started dancing like a crazy man, people stopped to watch. I never lmao so hard in my life. You had to be there...it was the epitome of what rock and roll was all about.

  • @TheClairem75

    Early rock n roll is so good. Imagine being a teenager in the 50’s and you were brought up on songs like How Much Is That Doggy In The Window. The world must’ve felt so grey & dull compared with hearing this for the first time. Like a shot of colour & life. I’m so envious of that generation who experienced the birth of rock n roll. I didn’t do too badly though, my generation got grunge & Brit pop so not all bad lol.

    I watched a you tube video called "before the Beatles were famous", it had a scene where Richard and Paul were at a piano and Paul tried the Wooo and Richard said he needed to be a little sharper. He did it again and Richard said you have the pitch right but you need more energy, so he did it with more energy and Richard said you got it, end of scene. I think it was the tour that Eddie Cochran died on, they brought in the Beatles to finish the tour, they were at the bottom of the list they didn't replace Eddie. So the story of Richard teaching Paul the wooo is true, there's video of it.

    Little Richard began his career at joints that were less savory than the club in this film. The original lyrics were, “Tutti Frutti, good bootie!” The rest of those lyrics were quite risqué. You can find them online.
    Fun fact: the big man seated at the table with the spit curl on his forehead is Bill Haley, who arguably released the very first Rock and Roll record.
