EXACTLY. Imagine you helped literally create ROCK AND ROLL you’re the prototype and you never get the shine or praise or awarded for it??? He should walk into any restaurant for free. Get a new car every damn year he shouldn’t even have to spend money you know how much rock music has saved people throughout the world??!!
@@TBoneMcGriddle shut the hell up. If white people were treated one fraction as badly as black Americans...you would blow up the whole earth. What hypocrites you are...
I think they finally gave him a Lifetime Achievement Grammy well before he passed. But every word that he said here was true...before Elvis or the Beatles...Little Richard was there.
They all " took all his outward Style. He was the frontman, Doe you see. The quality of the movie Bohemian Rapsity? Freddie played the piano standing up. As he was infected with Aids, he had to sit down. Him too took from Richard, a Black man can't be the originator of anything. Especially as big as this!
The actual Architect of Rock’n Roll having to speak the cold truth with a smile on his face. Should have gave this man a lifetime achievement Grammy award. The man is your favorite artist-favorite artist-favorite artist.
It wasn't long after they did. It was a disgrace they way they overlooked a living legend and I hate all the BS race baiting world we live in. But this was some bullshit, especially when black culture gave us argusble ebery genre of music. Somethings are worth addressing and other times .. it's basically .. when you're a hammer everything is a nail.
@@samlibuttiyep he was being rude in his own funny way. And who can blame him. He influenced every last one of the so called greats (white and black) and never got a single ounce of credit for it until recently.

Richard was spitting straight facts he did start that hairstyle and a lot of other things he didn’t get credit for I’m glad he started speaking out later years and making people respect his labor and efforts in music
This gets me emotional in so many ways. 1. The 80s -- I know who all of them are. The fact that they were nominated for a Grammy is awesome. 2. Jody Watley looks great here. 3. Little Richard, most of all. It really made me emotional. We truly lost a great one today. May he rest in peace.
I love Little Richard and especially how he loved God and all of mankind. Rest in peace brother Richard. May you reign with the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
Don't worry Richard, it seems awards don't mean as much as lasting music. The winner here is the only name of all the nominees I haven't heard of. Your music will outlive their's all
I got to see Little Richard perform in San Diego in '94, and I will never forget it. He was the originator, the creator, and the innovator 🤩🤩🤩. RIP also Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Fats Domino, and B.B. King.
This is the perfect example of how to rise above those who tell you that you cannot succeed! To be told you would never make it on your own and then this happens after hard work and determination are combined.
I had forgotten who else was in the BNA category with Jody. That was really tough competition that year, especially with Terence Trent Darby. He had mega hits like "Wishing Well" and "Sign my Name" that year. Jody had back to back hits with "I'm Looking For A New Love", "Don't You Want Me", Some Kind of Lover", and "Most of All". That was a BIG win for Miss Jody!
...but! ...a VERY controversial win; Richard Marx was THE new Artist (in 1987), that had that award with his NAME on it....But, he was disqualified, because he wrote a tune for Kenny Roger's 1984 LP, and the Grammy committee said he wasn't "new', to be a BNA..... (cont.) ...Richard was FUR-I-OUS, and didn't go to ANY Grammy ceremonies.....while Jody won, even though she was in Shalamar since 1977, and, released 8 Albums with them! ...Richard DID get a Grammy, when he wrote "Dance With My Father" for Luther Vandross in 2003, and attended the Grammy's, in honor of Luther, when he had his stroke....
Terence Trent D’arby gave an amazing performance on the Grammys that night. I was working at a record store at the time this aired and his music sold like crazy the following days and weeks afterward.
Fun fact: Jody had a little known duet with George Michael called "Learn to say no". This was during the Faith era and she commented three words "what a voice!" Yes, we knew then and only got more and more blessed through the decade.
LITTLE RICHARD WAS ONE OF A KIND! A TRUE LEGEND OF ROCK AND ROLL! HE DID DEFINITELY DESERVE SO MANY ACCOLADES THAT SADLY HE WAS NEVER GIVEN.

Thank you for that post, brought tears of joy to my eyes and soul. This was probably the last Grammy's I watched because after Little Richard shut it down and received that standing ovation there was nothing else more wonderful to see from the originator RIP with a A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bom!
That's the industry. The most average basic singers get all the recognition and awards. And the really talented ones get shunned, doesn't make any sense.
@@Sttephy30 I get what you mean but Little Richard actually described himself as the Queen of Rock and Roll, obviously a reference to his sexuality and status as a true original
@@jodywatley thank you for the music. I remember watching the Grammys on television when you won best new artiste. I was in high school and still a big fan of yours to this day. My eyes were filled with tears after watching this. I cant believe there were folks who never believed in you back then. You certainly showed em who's boss
I just cried 💜💜💜 This is back when award shows meant something to the fans!!! 🔥🔥JODI WATLEY🔥🔥 OMG I STILL LOVE YOU!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🏆 I watched this LIVE when it aired back in the day day! 🤘🏽 Thank You for the memories! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥
For anybody wondering the white guy with the pompadour is Buster Poindexter the alter ego of the 1970s band New York Dolls frontman David Johansen who were very influential to both the punk rock and glam metal genres.
I love how happy he got when he saw the winner - I caught the joke and knew it was her when he said “it really is me”😂🤣 talk about a true inside joke 😅😂
AFTER HE SAID " YOU' ALL NEVER GAVE NOTHING" AFTER THAT. STANDING OVATION. SEE HOW SMART HE IS. AFTER THAT VERY BIG YES FROM THE CROWD. THEY WERE IN THE AUDIENCE, & EVERYTHING CHANGED!
1:58 Probably the only shot with Little Richard, Michael Jackson, and Prince in the same frame!😱 Michael is on the front row directly in front of the tip of the stage wear a dark red blazer and shiny metal boots. Prince on the second row further to the right wearing his teal and black “Lovesexy” outfit. Pause and zoom. P.S. Michael was visibly hurt when he walked away empty handed that night and hopefully Richard’s rant kinda put everything in perspective for him seeing how much he accomplished vs what they refuse to acknowledge in Richard.
Little Richard went beast mode! That man is the winner! I'm not all too familiar with him but im sure I've heard his influence from my lovely Elvis down to today. The Grammys can shove it up each other's you know what. Congratulations Ms. Whatley.
Little Richard was right he was the architecture I love rock and roll. The originator when it came to performing live on stage. He created a new sound. Yes I'm many of us black kids back then we'll see him at the chitlin circuit and trust and believe me quite a few of the white kids would come to the chitlin circuit to see him perform.
Actually Little Richard, the winners are us for being blessed with your scene-stealing, all the time preening, off the cuff screaming like-a-white-lady talent! All y'all that disagree...shut-up!

Walk out so elegant
Rock is him!!!!
Little Richard told no lies, I am glad the audience gave him a standing ovation. All he said was true
yeah he meant that and the audience ageed.
That was better than the award the crowd
Crowd full of Grammy voters standing up and applauding but not voting to give him an award
Little Richard read them ALL. Y'all did'nt give me no grammies. I fell OUT when he said that and it was the truth!! RIP Richard
Facts
He got a MERIT
Amen. It was the truth.
Little Richard and paul mooney always spoke the truth!
Yes he did, and rightfully so!! He said “I AM THE ARCHITECT OF ROCK & ROLL”!! The original KING/QUEEN.. shut up!!🤣🤣👍🏽
I think they finally gave him a Lifetime Achievement Grammy well before he passed. But every word that he said here was true...before Elvis or the Beatles...Little Richard was there.
And Little Richard was their idol!
They all " took all his outward

Why isn't this trending?!? I just saw this and omg this has to be one of the top 5 iconic moments of music history!
and what about Chuck Berry?

@user-it1et3cr2k me to.. many times
"Shut up" was his all time line!
We know now "shut up".!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
No hesitation. He looked at that man and knew that there was no way in hell that schmuck gets to tell Little Richard what to do
He rude like that.
@@samlibuttiyep he was being rude in his own funny way. And who can blame him. He influenced every last one of the so called greats (white and black) and never got a single ounce of credit for it until recently. It's slowly becoming acknowledged that he was the BIGGEST influence in the creation of rock n roll
Little Richard deserved this award and many many others. He was one of the best. ♥️🙏✝️
Rest in Peace Little Richard. Thank you for everything.
He claimed what they wouldn't give him, what was HIS. He refused to shrink.
I love that he commanded the respect he felt was due, but without disrespecting the audience. He did it with this charm that only few people can do.
Richard was spitting straight facts he did start that hairstyle and a lot of other things he didn’t get credit for I’m glad he started speaking out later years and making people respect his labor and efforts in music
No Little Richard didn't have that hairstyle until 1985
This gets me emotional in so many ways.
1. The 80s -- I know who all of them are. The fact that they were nominated for a Grammy is awesome.
2. Jody Watley looks great here.
3. Little Richard, most of all. It really made me emotional. We truly lost a great one today. May he rest in peace.
You wrote exactly what I felt. Thank you.
You know swing out sister?
You knew the Cutting Crew?
You knew Poindexter and Terence Trent D'arby, too? I was born in the 80s and have only heard of maybe three of these songs nominated.
The part I hate is that she beat Janet Jackson and wasn't even a new artist.
He gave zero f's but never came off arrogant or narcissistic. So much personality
exactly
For those who are wondering who the guy is standing next to Little Richard, that's David Johansen. The lead singer of the New York Dolls.
No one even cares who he is
@@thebtmclub i do. I was wondering who he was, because he has amazing hair
@@thebtmclub😂😂😂
By far the greatest impromptu live performances in the history of awards ceremony goes to Little Richard. He stole the show. Amazing.
Before ODB shut the Grammys down, it was Lil Richard.
*Little Richard
I love little Richard and good for him for speaking up
Little Richard is the most talented in the room God bless him RIP
I remember seeing this when it aired live. I was 9 years old. Left an impression on me that I remember till this day.
I love Little Richard and especially how he loved God and all of mankind. Rest in peace brother Richard. May you reign with the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
That was back from the era of Michael Jackson's fans getting carried out on stretchers.
Yep and Bobby Brown blowing up 🆙 with don’t be cruel when leaving new Edition

He was so funny! Lmao 🤣🤣😂😂 Not my first time seeing this clip.. but I laugh everytime!! "And the winner is.. ME!" 🤣🤣😭 #RIPLittleRichard ♥️

Don’t use the name God in vain.
Perhaps it was the genre of music he was a part of, but WE, his black people didn't give this man the respect he was due.
Then WE all need to respect that all music comes from us?

you mean the genre he created, you cant be a part of something thats completely dependent on your existence, Little Richard is Rock and Roll
