I was here to celebrate Otis Redding - yet here I am, reminded of how important and unappreciated Little Richard is. His talent is an absolute shining star of authenticity.
That's a beautiful way to put it. Fully agree!
Preach!
Damn right.
Amen!
little Richard will remiss GodBless
Only little Richard can make someone’s else’s tribute about him and we love it
ABSOLUTELY! 🤣❤
FACT ❤ AND WE LOVE AND RESPECT HIM FOR DOING IT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
All you folks criticizing Little Richard - you got to admit he's 'effin entertaining and talented.
Who’s criticizing him?
I'll say this, he's entertaining, but, it's not the Little Richard Show. Disrespectful, is what it was. ...and if that's criticizing him, so be it. Otis Redding should have been showcased...
@@gayleash9712 : Gayle, you hit it on the head! There were so many Black singers back in my era (60s and 70s) who were beyond incredible.......they were inimitable. Their talents will never be equaled. Try hard as they may, others cannot do the songs justice. The best they could hope for would be to show respect for, and honor the memory of, the truly great performers.
@@gayleash9712 He WAS showcased. He's got inducted. It wasn't like he was going to come up out of the grave to perform.
@@ronniemoon57 Hi, Ronald.. I watched the entire induction. I even say Little Richard was entertaining. ...but, Otis Redding raised the bar with his voice, is all...
This crowd acts like they never even heard of Otis Redding.
Little Richard was a riot and in very good voice this night.
Maybe Bruce Springsteen did...
Nah, some of the people I see in the audience know exactly who Otis Redding is. You must not know who he is. Otis was huge.
@Kim Essex The event is always full of people who Have to be there - "the suits."
@@CharlieMessing the suits absolutely know who Little Richard is.
@@fostermac7170 I didn't mean they don't know who he is, I just meant they don't jump up and howl - they're older, wearing suits, and they just sit there - someone had commented that they weren't receptive - I was saying they were "suits" so he'd know why they "didn't seem to care."
This is probably my favorite video of the man. “I feel so unnecessary”.
Rest In Peace, Little Richard.
He says "necessary."
@@MakeUA-camGreatAgain1 He said 'i feel so unnecessary'.
🔌❤🎵🎶🎶🎵🥰🥰
They say "time heals all wounds". Thank God "time" healed us of ever seeing the obnoxious "Little Richard" on the TV anymore. Hooooooooooray!
@@91dodgespiritrt what a wonderful kind man you are! I take it you’re a Trump lover!
Why is it that every performance and interview Richard makes us feel like we just chillin in his backyard or living room? He just plain ol country real!
Shut up!
Sho You Right!
Shut up
This Is Literally THEE Best Induction - I mean out of nowhere he starts whaling!!!!! The band did not expect that!
Your right I DINT EXPECT IT::.that was hell o bad.....I have watched the first 2 minutes over and over ..the band got into a little shock but as true profesionals they picked up... NOBODY I think not even Little Richard knew till last minute that he was going to start singing he just felt like it ..and cause hes the Real King he can do it
Whaling is the word.
THE true king.
The band are fucking AWESOME the way they picked up every cue and ran with it, in whatever key he happened to sing. Total RESPECT!!! AND yes this IS the best RRHOF induction of all time! Loved watching Bruce and Keef enjoying it. Shit, even Jagger smiled!
I think they did know. You can tell by the (musical) walkup.
As he told us so many times: “I’m too much.” And he was. The creator of it all. God rest his soul.
Amen
iVenge great response, RIP Little Richard, really nice tribute
He was the James Brown of Rock and roll
Richard likes to say there wouldn't be any rock-n-roll without him but it actually existed before he started out; it just hadn't been introduced to white audiences. During Richard's heyday Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Elvis also contributed to laying the cornerstone of rock-n-roll.
Panama Canal history
It's interesting to know that the Beatles used to sleep on Little Richard's floor when he was on tour. Some people will never publicly acknowledge the generosity you've shown to them, but leave it up to Little Richard and he will announce it to the world. Rest in peace, Little Richard... "The King of Rock 'n' Roll."
And The Rolling Stones
@@mileshall3177
That's right!
@@alanmorris7669 and James brown and the famous flames, and Jimi Hendrix, and billy Preston. 😂😂😂 he really is the architect or rock
@@mileshall3177 he really is, I saw somewhere that he taught jimi Hendrix a very complex way to play the guitar and then jimi took it and run with it
@@mrxitall7100Jimi Hendrix ❤❤🐐
There will never be anyone like Richard. This induction was like no other. His essence. RIP.
"There will never be anyone like Richard." And we're glad! ONE QUEEN was more than enough. HA, HA
*"And I'm still here and I look decent"*
Gotta love one of the real Kings of Rock n Roll, Little Richard
The definition of a Rock Star: Little Richard. He runs this!!!
..
Westen
It doesn't get any better than Little Richard. I miss him so much.
Good song
The original King of Rock N Roll.
He does
As George Harrison said at the Beatles hof induction, gesturing to little Richard in the audience - it's all his fault, really. Without Richard there'd be no Beatles, or stones, or just about everybody. The godfather, the creator. The original. There'll never be one again. RIP Richard. Your contribution to this world is priceless, immeasurable. And it'll live on for centuries. It will never, ever die.
I just watched one of his last talks it was so inspiring ua-cam.com/video/LTXfx4h4iPs/v-deo.html
he was a living legend. no doubts about it. love his energy, his in your face attitude when he was in interviews. confidence and realness. He said; its not conceit, its confidence
Even James Brown owed alot to Little Richard for his rise in fame!
Also hendrix....
Mrs Springsteen was enthralled with deep respect as it may have been the first time she and a lot of others really heard THE VOICE!!
Adrenalin, fever pitch, frenetic, flamboyant, hilarious , Little Richard...never to be duplicated
"never to be duplicated." THANK GOD!
@@91dodgespiritrt nunca será duplicado simplesmente porque jamais irá aparecer alguém que faça o que ele fez e foi.
Revisited this induction speech today on Little Richard's death. This is by far the best HoF induction speech I've ever watched. For Richard to come out and do an impromptu of hits and Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band not miss a lick was something special. Little Richard is without question one of the true architects of Rock and Roll, RIP Richard Penniman....
Talent Beyond the Stars. What a treat to see him goof all over.
He was THE architect.
Cyberguyjeff, i agree, just brilliant as he always was. R.i.p.👍🏽👍🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧
Same here. He is for sure the innovator and architect!
It sure is!
Little Richard singing sitting on the dock of the bay? oh my lord he is incredible
I wonder if he had a teleprompter or some notes- not that the lyrics would throw him but if we are to believe that he hadn't sung the song in a very long time pulling off the song was impressive. He had to have rehearsed the song with the band.
🔌🌄🎶🎵🎶🎶❤ yes SF & listening to this since 1960s.. 2021.
Little Richard passed away today, at 87. Otis was one of the few other stars from Macon, Georgia. Richard's not really a speech-maker, so he did it his way, and was just wonderful. NOBODY ever relaxes enough to be like that when inducting a star. He killed it! Not many people could sing Otis's songs that well. RIP both - The Greats.
My
absolutely agree, nobody would interpret it that way. The BEST.
I am glad someone Liked it he was a true Legend rest in piece God bless u 🙏
A Legend respecting a Legend ... it gets no better than this. RIP OR and LR.....
Macon, GA....the cradle of Rock 'n Roll and Southern Rock. Bless you Mrs. Zelma. Your family have done an excellent job of keeping Otis' legacy alive in Macon by opening the mini museum to fund the music camp for young musicians. otisreddingfoundation.org/visit-us/ Check out Dexter Redding singing on YT also. RIP Little Richard and Otis.
He's always had the most beautiful voice of the black artists in my opinion
Today Little Richard died ...The King of Rock N' Roll RIP
The King and queen R.I.P. Little Richard
RIP it up
Tendrían que ser inmortales!!. 👑🙏
La música cura tantas almas..🌼
This man has saved my life so many times with his interviews and music. He has no idea. So underrated.
I’m sure he loves you for that
"You know...Otis was from my hometown, and I'm from there too...I feel so unnecessary. What are you laughing at. Shut up.". Priceless.
I died when he starts talking about James Brown. I love it. He know what legends are.
I am from Macon too!!!
James Brown from Macon too!
@Rudolph Manor Well, technically from South Carolina (first Barnwell, then Elko), but he moved to Augusta when he was about four or five years old.
@@brandothecatmeow he made James Brown, and many other artist came from him, even the Beatles
"I feel so unnecessary"
- Little Richard 😄
this is awesome!
the way he sings Otis' songs...
WOW!
Tito Ramone 😂😂
He wasnt making it about him, He was just giving everyone a good time and giving them joy, they should of enjoyed the presence of The KING more than they did, id bee jumping out of my seat !!
One of the funniest guys ever.Amazing personality.How could you not like him?
Right on.
Little Richard; December 5, 1932 - May 9, 2020
"Little Richard passed away this morning from bone cancer in Nashville, at age 87. He was living with his brother in Nashville," Dick Alen (Little Richard's manager) tells PEOPLE. "He was battling for a good while, many years. I last spoke to him about two or three weeks ago. I knew he wasn’t well but he never really got into it, he just would say 'I’m not well.' He’s been suffering for many years with various aches and pains. He just wouldn’t talk about it much.”
Kelvin Holly, a longtime member of the musician's band, shared a touching tribute on social media. "Rest in peace Richard. This one really stings. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of my bandmates and fans all over the world. Richard truly was the king!"
Little Richard sang Otis. Brilliant ❤❤
Little Richard sure can laugh. He could have a party all by himself. Love him......
DMS5511 👍🤣 IKR. He cracks himself up. And us. 💕❤️
Shut up!
lol
DMS5511 yaas 😂😂
Love him too! Yes he sure could laugh and sing and inspire us all! What a special man.
holy shit!!! Little Richard nailed that!!! I've never heard anyone be able to do Otis' songs
Why nothing hard or complicated song. 🤔
Simple songs are the hardest to sing . Think of Beethoven’s Fur Elise and how hard it is to play because it’s an easy piece
He sounded just like him or vice versa I heard Otis took his style of singing from Richard
@@Seriousthing13 YES HE DID, LITTLE RICHARD WAS FIRST 😊
I think this is the most genuine induction I’ve ever seen.
Otis was a gift. So was Little Richard. Zelma gets choked up real quick talking about her beloved, and Little Richard is right there. Holding her and comforting her from the stage. He was Glitter and Gold.
Acutally, her name is Zelma -- but a lot of people (not just Richard) get that wrong. There are actually more hits for "Zelda" than "Zelma" on Google, even though Zelma is definitely her name.
I watched Him escort Her off stage, He was a gentleman. He was glitter and gold and He was really a humble Man.. He knew the difference from His showman side to His humble servant of the Lord heart. He was one of God's kids..
@@jodykidp5396 , well said. :)
My first reflex after hearing the terrible news was to watch this video one more time, a truly timeless and immortal character.
Mine too. Little Richard is a True Legend
..
Only one time. I can't help myself but to watch this 5 time's a week.
So funny how the great Little Richard turns the induction of Otis into his very own show! These wonderful Rock & Roll legends were such characters... where is their like today?!
Easily the best thing on the Internet. Watched it so many times.
Little richard nearing 60 still had a better singing voice than anyone we see in that audience.
Omg, dont know how. I found this but so glad I did. Dying laughing
& he knew it
Nearing 60???? Lmao.
Jade Zee really? Thats awesome🙏🏽 he’s 84 now and in a wheelchair hopefully his health gets better
Hes good bit he has inte voice
He brought so much joy to the world, every chance he got. We don't realise how lucky we were to have these legends until they're gone. Goodbye Little Richard, and thankyou.
WallKenshiro
LOVE ur comment.
Azz u can c, they r alwayz wit us, bcause we LOVE em so.
We can thank God almitey 4 dat!
He'll always live in my heart.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.
BEST induction ever! Little Richard was the personification of charisma. Even his laugh is amazing. R.I.P. L.R.
Some of the people in the audience mocked him but he was very quick he knew how to blow them off he's very genius
They mocked him for good reason. He was a clown. HA, HA
@@91dodgespiritrtno db
None of them would have a mansion to go home to if it wasn’t for Little Richard
little richard is not lying about anything here...otis did love him..and all those guys...beatles..mick..etc...WERE...opening acts for him...
Just perfect. When he sings you can hear Otis's turns and phrasing. That's how you know it was for real.
David Vawter big time-its the greatest compliment. So subtle, but so right.
@David Vawter For my money, Otis and Richard are two of the greatest voices in southern vernacular music.
@@giovanna722 You got that right, Elvis had a great voice, but Lil Richard was talked about in my home before Elvis.
@@aarondigby9859 Elvis sucked
Sitting on my back porches in Macon, GA. listening to Little Richard singing Otis's songs sends chills up my spine. Richard has been gone only a couple of days. He provided the soul to make rock & Roll and Otis amplified it. RIP
I'm glad he found the Lord.
R.I.P🙏❤️❤️❤️
Rest easy Richard. What a voice! Most would go hoarse trying to sing like him
"Shut up"
-- Little Richard, 1989
I absolutely love the Grammy video
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Take my picture”😁 R.I.P🙏❤️
He said shut up make my picture 😂
My birth year
He just got excited after a very long career hiatus. But the man is still rockin it! Otis would have enjoyed this.
Love it or hate it, you have to respect a man who isn't afraid to be himself no matter what. Little Richard is Little Richard. He truly is an architect of Rock & Roll. I only hope that these so-called rock stars give him a proper send off when his time comes. He was doing things in the 1950's that people take for granted today.
I - proudly - HATE IT. HA, HA
They don't make entertainers like this anymore. RIP the pride and joy of Macon, GA Lil Richard.
I love how every time Richard seems on the verge of drifting off into the stratosphere, and I expect they'll have to bring out the men with the big nets to recapture him, he manages to come back close enough to Earth to be able to continue his presentation, and make what passes for perfect sense. I miss him already. Shut up.
"SHUT UP" LIL RICHARD WOULD MAKE YOU LAUGH !!!!!!
I have to say the induction was beautiful and honestly the best I’ll ever see. Little Richard nailed it beautifully and gave us a great look into his friend Otis Redding. I shed a few tears when Otis’s wife had to walk off the stage from emotions and Little Richards concerned walk with her. Damn had me crying.
Richard, what a gentleman, that's the Southern charm, manners, and good upbringing.
That was a very telling moment. A Gentleman Superstar! Little Richard & Otis Redding RIP.
Er war leidenschaftlich süß
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER HE COULD SING THE PHONE BOOK. LUV YOU RICHARD !
Richard was not only the architect and emancipator of Rock but his essence and free spirit it what sets him above everyone else. He was just so real,
So real!
Wow! What a moment! Little Richard, a Gay, Black man from Georgia literally invented Rock N Roll and this homage and induction for Otis is everything!
Little Richard was so good, a true legend.
Little Richard is The Truth!
He is handsome and he is beautiful!
Little Richard 4 Ever!
I'm sure whoever decided to have Little Richard induct Otis knew what he was going to say and do, and be. But what can you say about Otis that can ever do him justice? He will always be the king of soul and the greatest soul singer ever. Best to just get another great, like Little Richard to get up there and entertain in honor of Otis and show everybody a good time. I think this was great. Little Richard does not make very many appearances, so this was a real honor.
I agree. This was great, but Sam Cooke over Otis Redding in my book.
They’re all legends
R. Alexander That’s where you’re wrong buckaroo
Little Richard is one of the main reasons there's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the first place. Fantastic, that inspired singing, yell and laughter, followed by Keith Richards' reaction. He's really feeling it: 7:42. Can't say that about everybody in that room and that's an understatement.
What an entertaining spirit! RIP to both Little Richard and Otis Redding.
He deserved so much more. A really great guy, I met him a couple of times... I went to his revivals out in south carolina when I was a young man and he was an excellent preacher... The King Of Rock & Roll
I met him in 2003. One of the highlights of my life. I couldn't stop talking about it. One of the most humble, friendly people I've ever met. I wrote him a letter after our meeting. He never wrote back, but I'm sure he got it, because the letter was never returned to me in the mail, and he gave me his personal address.
Just saw this for the first time and OMG could this man sing. A true original; never to be outdone. But what is wrong with all the stuffed shirts in the audience. They didn't get him, didn't appreciate what a force of nature they had right in from of them. Jealous, just a bit? Showed him little respect. Boo on them. "I feel so real. I feel so unnecessary" - I mean the man is outrageous. LOVE YOU, LITTLE RICHARD!
Like the fact that little Richard is a real person and not phoney, And from what I understand is also Kind.
He's a pastor nowadays.
I opened for Little Richard and he was very kind! Awesome man!
I grew up in Macon in the 60s......a white dude......Little Richard and Otis were from Macon. They brought people together! They didn't drive people apart.
@@edwardmunson3896 Otis Redding is my moms cousin.
@@dipdawg1378 Man, I need to ask you for your autograph. If you are interested, I am going to share something with you that I have seldom shared with others. In 1964, the Government feared an outbreak of yellow fever and/or malaria could result from our troops (GOD BLESS THOSE TROOPS) returning home from Vietnam. They initiated a program known as the Aedes Aegypti Erradication Programto seek out potential areas that were favorable breeding grounds for the mosquitoes that carried the diseases. They hired high school aged young people to go DOOR TO DOOR and get permission to look for likely areas. The places for development were things like bird baths, old auto tires...anything that could hold water. We were given "puff bottles" containing powdered DDT to spray on the surface of the water when we found the wigglers (larva). I was one of those hired for that summer job. One day that summer I was dropped off in the only upscale neighborhood in Macon for Black Americans. I remember this like it was yesterday. Given the fact that I am 71 yoa, that says something about how much Otis Redding meant to this white dude. I walked up to the front door of this nice brick home (fenced and gated), rang the door bell and there he stood! Otis Redding answered the door! I was stunned and just stood there....I lost the ability to talk. This imposing man, this "gentle man," grinned and looked at me and said "son, whatcha need?" I made a fool out of myself trying to explain why I was there. Finally, I got it out. He said "you recognize me don't you?" I said "yes sir you're the Big O." I went around to the gate and he let me in and walked around and talked to me....genuinely interested. D.D., this really happened, not a bunch junk. Years later, I found out that meeting him at the residence was a fortunate "draw of the cards." The residence was someone in his family's. I never found out if it was his wife's and childrens, or someone else. He had actually moved to Los Angeles, but he returned to Macon often. I guess that really was my lucky day. When he died in that plane crash it was a sad, SAD, day for Macon and for me. Son, if your mother is still alive, please share this with her. I shouldn't have posted this much on UA-cam, but after reading your comments, I couldn't help but take advantage. And thank you so much for your comments. I have seldom shared this with others, because what is important to me is not always important to others. GOD bless you and your family.
Love how he cracks himself up!
Yassssssssss!!!
Cocaine is a hell of a Drug
ya gotta love em, the king.
Richard is so magnificent...
The hall of Fame rep.trying to rush
Richard off the stage he stole the show.
"NO NO!."
Richard was incredible this night, glad it's still on youtube, RIP.
He does look decent and he has outlived a lot of the old school singers!!!!
All but Jerry Lee Lewis
But I'm aware that when you wrote that comment before Chuck Berry and Fats Domino passed. Saddest thing ever, those deaths were.
Jerry Lee is too mean to die. Little Richard is too sweet to die. Both musical phenominas.@@nochannelmusician769
He outlived the youth of his time!
Bp
I love his confidence, he knows who he is, he knows who he's not..I love his swagger, I love he kept with his craft, and stood strong while fighting against adversity..People were wrong to think he was just a dumb country homosexual from back in the woods in Macon Georgia..Ha! Lil Richard has a lot of wisdom coupled with talent and drive.. I love his raw passion to entertain he paved the way for so many!! And went thru a lot..#TheKingOfRockAndRoll Oooooooooh!! 82+ years old..Best thing his mother could have done, insisting he take piano lessons..
I am glad he is still blessed to be here to set the record straight.... the architect of rock and roll
YEs, when people forget he reminds them as he should and does it in the most entertaining way. True to his talented self.
12:44 Little Richard calling out Mick Jagger might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen LOL
MIZZTOTAL So hoe did Little Richard call out Mick Jagger?
Mick acted extra English there ... Hhhh
SPONTANEITY. He was a master of it, both in just being him and musically.
Little Richard is so underrated and under appreciated it is criminal. You can see Springsteen and Keith Richards react to his talent. Otis Redding had the same, extremely rare vocal quality (timbre) as Little Richard. Paul McCartney could sometimes approximate this sound. Ronald Iseley also had it. It is like a mixture of a saxophone and a human voice.
Again, it is absolutely unforgivable that someone didn't give Little Richard more chances to record his magnificent voice after his initial run in the 1950's. And, why was he not given more credit for originating rock and roll? His songs were recorded by everyone: Fleetwood Mac, Johnny Winter, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, ...
I so agree
So true
Nobody influenced rock and pop music as much as Little Richard. Hell, no one is even talking here about Prince or Rick James. Both of those guys took things straight from Little Richard as well. He defined rock music...was rock music. Can you imagine Springsteen's voice without Little Richard. All those guys know that he was the Architect of Rock and Roll...and they owe him respect...even when he's being silly!
@Quashie Well said. Otis and Little Richard had such impeccable pitch as well as rhythmic flexibility. Great musicianship and a wild ride.
The rockers in the audience be were getting off on him. They idolized him and the other r and b and blues guys. Keith was grooving
Little Richard is the KING and the QUEEN of rock n roll.
+Sugar D what do you mean? he invented the genre
+Hemi TX850 Hence he gets both crowns. Little Richard has never been shy about loving, explicitly at times, all races/genders/persons.
Yeah you right!!
Lol King AND Queen
Yaaasssss....
He just loves being the biggest star. I got to meet him at his motel room at the Hyatt on Sunset. I was with some of the Coasters, my buds at the time. Hank Ballard was there too. He was doing gospel and asked me to listen to his new song on a cassette. I did and I told him that the gospel was great, but THIS is Little Richard! He was back. Was when the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills. He was so sweet and a real peace guy. What a big thrill that was. Just had to share.
I'm jealous
awesome story:)
Little Richard was 56 when he burned the roof down with this performance. Before the days of loop tracks and in ear monitors, all pure raw talent. The bass player was also on fire!
Love the look on Keith Richard's and Bruce Springsteen's faces . . . this man is IT! No Holding Back! :)
Was Alice cooper? He looked mad
They knew Who LR was ... Just The Black King of RnR
How did I go 30 years without seeing this? Absolutely magnificent, every bit of it. I'll watch it more than once. "I feel good! I ain't had nothin' but water."
Is there any one out there who still thinks Elvis is the King? Long Live King Richard!
Bugsy Cline Yeah, most of the world population do think Elvis was the king. And He was.
kings loose their title when they die... dumbass
Too much marketing on him, after all he was white. Little Richard and James Brown had done much more than him to music.
You know you should actually invent the music to claim the throne. That's the misunderstanding, it's not a prize fight for selling records-- it's about CREATING a new sound that grabs people and gets them to get along. He said it a million times but his greatest disappointment is ya'll not hearing it.
Shame.
And even still... Richard sold millions worldwide at a time that was unheard of. He MADE Rock & Roll. I want to be clear here. He brought up James Brown and Otis and Mick like Rodney Dangerfield helped so many comics come up through the business and share ideas together.
Elvis and them folk made it popular in civil, normal society later. See, it turned out that the Status Quo didn't realize how many fringe elements there really were and what they truly enjoyed. I'm telling you this from the perspective of a young person whose mother literally grew up during this period and honestly never understood the hype for Elvis or The Beatles even. Mick Jagger, James Brown, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard--
You guys need to better research The Day The Music Died. These people were inventing new music that you now enjoy. Akira Kurosawa has notably amazing musical taste and he was heavil influenced by Jazz and Western Culture. That's why he plays so well here. He's rated pretty average in Japan.
Little Richard taught Pul McCartney and the other Beatles how to "scream" on "She Loves You" and "Twist and Shout". This is a true story. /|\
🔌❤🎶🎵🎵🎶🥰
Anytime you seamlessly turn an induction speech into an impromptu mini-concert and no one misses a beat and nobody rushes you and the moment still is about the person it's supposed to be about, you are a Genius. Little Richard was a genius. With all his flair and antics he still made sure the entire moment was about Otis and not him. That's love.
I cannot get enough of that laugh! A true true TRUE icon. R&B had a baby and somebody named it Rock N Roll! We love you Little Richard!
Yes. He was a JOKE. HA, HA
Baaaaaaby the way he carried on just blessed my entire day!! A true king and icon of music!!!
Darrell J. oh yes. I am with you...feelin the same right now. May 13 , 2020..
Watching in 2019 . This is pure gold. Black legend
The greatest induction of any artist into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...
A young boy from a modest family, victim of racism, prejudice, whose father was a mere whisky smuggler, and who was kicked out of the house for sexual preference by his own family. Look at what he turned into - a legend a remarkable pioneer of rock-n-roll, known worldwide and the inspiration of many musical idols.
Yes, indeed! Carlos Vipe.
Whose here after hearing the news of him passing ? Most certainly a legend that I will cherish forever. ✊🏾
How many men at his age still have their voice. What a legend.
"I ain't had nothin' but water"
Imagine if he he'd had orange juice :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Love Him Honey!!!!
AFCof NYC...there was nothing but water at my table.....hilarious..take my picture. I am going scream like a white lady, mash the button black man...oooh I feel so real, I feel so unnecessary....so funny...SO REAL..I got James Brown out of prison...again.
God Dang...Little Richard makes me take a deep breath. I challenge anyone with a reasonable degree of intelligence to convince me that this man did not invent rock and roll. Jesus, he is amazing.
Yeah, he's literally got all the right attributes, from glitz & glamour, to the voice, humour, original songs and full entertainment package. He IS it.
RICHARD!! NATIONAL!!!!! TREASURE!!! LOVE HIM!!! TRUE!!!! KING!!! OF ROCK AND ROLL!! LOOK GOOD!!! RICHARD!!!!! TELL UM!! SHUT! UP!!!
baler johnson absolutely! The Beatles open for him :)
What a performance!
With the exception of a few, most of those people in the room will never hold a candle to this man
RICHARD WAS ONE OF A KIND! YES A KING! A TRULY GREAT TALENT WITH A FANTASTIC PERSONALITY! I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET HIM IN BEVERLY HILL’S ON HIS BIRTHDAY AND WAS ABEL TO THANK HIM VERY MUCH FOR HIS MUSIC AND HE GAVE ME THAT GREAT SMILE.THANK YOU AGAIN RICHARD FOR THE MUSIC I GREW UP WITH! RIP 🙏 JOE/RON ROMAN.
Most folks don’t know that Otis started out as a Little Richard impersonator. Full circle.
Thanks for that information. Little Richard helped the beetles and they owned his publishing, then Paul got mad when Michael owned his, hypocrites.
@@cortezforever ATV music owned both of their publishings not the Beatles. However, when Michael purchased the ATV catalogue, he tried to give back Richard's publishing but the powers that be didn't allow it. İn 1995 ATV merged with Sony music publishing. Michael was the most powerful man in music. So they killed him. The catalogue is worth billions now.
Wow
@@spiritanimal8836 Nonsense.

Richard doing a perfect Otis..classic and very enjoyable.
uncjim he sounds better
I almost cried when he started singing Sitting On The Deck Of The Bay
Otis redding looked up to little richard little richard said it in a interview
Idk....... John Lennon said that the other Beatles "looked up to him" and they pretty much said that was bull crap. They said they really admired him but that was John's ego talking.
yes it was

rodrigo suarez Ikr!
What A Performer A Shining Light Best induction ever on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame No Rock and Roll without Little Richard RIP legend!
As a metalhead & hard rock fanatic, Little Richard's voice is one of the hardest to cover. Firm, rough & powerful. The nearest guy that can copy the voice of LR was a prime-Paul McCartney. If LR venture into AOR or Arena rock genre, we will definitely dominate.
I Love Lil Richard!! His Autobiography Was Off The Chain!! Wonderfully Written!!!
Georgia has given us their very best. Thank you Georgia
God bless Georgia forever. Otis Redding, Little Richard, Allman Brothers etc
The "Bronze Liberace", according to himself! Classic!!
hahaha that made me laugh! thanks!
Growing up in Ireland this is the music we loved, Little Richard, Otis, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, James Brown and on & on.
In the late sixties a man from Ireland moved to my city (Boston, Mass, USA) and he would play Rory Gallagher, Van Morrison and a lot of traditional Irish folk music. Rory inspired me to take up guitar. I was a fan of Gary Moore also. In cover bands of course we played Thin Lizzy.
@@georgebuck2269 I'm not in love, it's just a silly phase I'm going through....
Marvin Gaye,Al Green,Stevie Wonder,Barry white..
Have you seen the movie The Commitments? I loved it.
