He has Always and Will Always be an inspiration for aspiring rock and roll musicians. And I loved how he did not care what other people thought and he was PROUD to be a CHRISTIAN 😁😎😁 🎸🎹🎶🎺🎙️🎼✝️🙏🎷🎶
Just seen it. Not a bad film but one aspect of the interviews was annoying. Little Richard refers to being "gay" several times, and "homosexual" at least twice. But other participant's don't; they repeatedly refer to him (and themselves) as "queer". Considering that plenty of gay people hate this word, why on earth do they assume that Richard would have considered himself queer?
He created Rock and Roll, but it was ELVIS that made it acceptable and a hit. LITTLE RICHARD deserves his credit. He was one of a kind. He had so many things that others saw and copied. LITTLE RICHARD became famous in 1955 when at a recording session he recorded "Tutti Frutti" in 1955 which became a hit. ELVIS became a hit when he signed a recording contract with SUN RECORDS in 1954 and had a hit with "That's Alright Mama" in 1954.
This documentary is a new level of exploitation of the legend, this time by the LGBTQ community. How convenient that it was done upon his death. Good job👏
Sorry to disappoint, but this documentary gives a false rendition of history, one would expect no less from CNN Films. I am a huge fan of Little Richard, but truth is truth. The truth is, Little Richard was not the 1st. Ike Turner came before him & Bill Hailey along with him. He was not the King of R&R either, to place him above Elvis Presley is just silly. Little Richard was a pioneer & arguably the greatest R&Rer, but that does not validate making false claims. It appears, the goal of this film is not to idolize Little Richard as much as it is to idolize gay & black culture.
Tears in my eyes. Chuck Berry, Little Richard....the true Kings of Rock&Roll! 👑😎😎

Little Richard

He was definitely Everything ✨
This looks good like the movie can't*t wait to watch this.
Thank you for this good for the people like little rock and roll like it Rock and Roll like it

Can't wait
He was both The King of Rock & Roll and The Queen of Queer
He denounced that and became a Christian, correct? Just look at his later interviews
What a trailblazer.
King
Pat's left handed finger poppin'! ( 0:50 ) YIKES! Dudes like him kept Richard from getting his due__ :-(
This says, "In theaters FROM 28th of April", whatever. How about, "ON". Otherwise no one knows that they are saying. FROM WHEN to WHEN?!
Religion was the villain in Little Richard's life.
It was the best thing

CNN Films?! What the fuck?! This looks great but I had no idea they (the Communist News Network) would ever do a film.
Thank god for people like Little Richard!

Another horrible film justifying sinful sex
