From the androgyny of Prince, to the vocal mannerisms of Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger, Little Richard's impact on pop culture was ubiquitous. James Brown began his career as a Little Richard impersonator, Hendrix started playing guitar in Richard's band and Michael Jackson deemed him a major influence. A pioneering figure in the development of soul and funk, Little Richard is most remembered as a founding father of early Rock'n'roll. He blew the lid off the 50s with game changing songs such as "Tutti Frutti" and "Good Golly Ms Molly",becoming a benchmark by which excellence is judged. He acheived all of this under the glaring shadow of segregation, often being denied radio airplay. Bravely fighting against systematic racism, Richard shattered the colour line in music, changing American pop culture forever and becoming one of the most influential figures in entertainment. Long live The Innovator, The Originator and The Architect of Rock'n' roll
God bless Mr. Richard Wayne Penniman God bless Rock & Roll. Nice to imagine the yesterday meeting in the sky, on a cloud, between Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown. Amazing.
It's impossible to listen to this man's music and not be overcome with excitement and energy. Dancing wildly is one of the side-effects of his music. His songs should come with a warning label. RIP Little Richard. You were one of the greats! ❤
As a teenager in the '50's Lucille was my favorite Rock 'N Roll song. I wore out many a 45 RPM Record playing this song. The beginning beat was the best ever.
Thanks for this Noel. I think it's hard for today's younger folks to understand (or even believe) what it was like for Black musicians back when Little Richard came along. When I was growing up in the South, we (Blacks) didn't hear black music on the radio and if Black musicians were ever on t.v., our t.v. screen would suddenly fade to black. When the Black artist finished, our t.v. screen would fade back to lights, camera, action! And this was not in the 1800s!
Little Richard was an incredible performer. He would work himself into total exhaustion by the end of his set. He was not really sane, of course, but what a gift it was to see him live with his own band in the 1960s. NOBODY packed more wallop than Richard & I saw the Stones live back in those days.
Little Richard rocks the stages when he played the piano. He knew how to keep that heavy sound using the saxophones in a continuous pattern.He left the stage for 10 years , but came back with no new record .But Lucia was so ahead of his time that the new generation like it.
This is the man who made music happen for me. I was only a toddler when I first heard my grandad's rock and roll records playing and Little Richard' was the one who had me bouncing round the room. Immense performances and what a voice!!!!!!!!
Remember watching Little Richard on TV as a young child in the late 60’s early 70’s and in complete awe. I would turn around and ask my mother if she remembered him growling up, she couldn’t answer right away because she was busy dancing. There was my answer.
Little Richard truly was a pioneer that set the foundational stones of what would become Heavy metal/grunge/ Rock and roll and many other genres of rock.
Lucille has one of the iconic intros in rock history. If something aint movin check your pulse. Jimi Hendrix was his guitar player for a short period of time.
Thank you Mr. Penniman for letting this here white boy let it all hang out forever at the tender age of 4 in 1962.....I'm 64 now and still rockin' out with my first love in r n r....Lucille. Ty LR for making me the rocker I still am....R'N'R WILL NEVER DIE!!!!🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶💪💪👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎.
I agree with you hes 80 years old now so the Lord saw it all that is amazing for a Rockin Roll star they have such a Stressfull Life but hes still alive and he does shows from time to time he has such a nice personality we see him all the time out here in nashville Jesus books are gifts he hands out he gives everyone that comes up to him a hello and a book what a great guy!!!!!!
I don't know how one can calculate Little Richards contributions to American culture. But it was great. He is the true father of Rock-n-Roll, in my opinion. His influence casts a long shadow over all pop music that came later. R&B, Funk, Rock, Punk, disco etc all owe something to him. His energy on stage was unmatched. He was the first gender bending superstar. He was the first gay rock icons. He paved the way for black artists to become mainstream to the horror of post-war white suburban parents. Cheers to an innovator, one of the brightest stars of the 20th century, and a true legend. Rest in Power Richard. We love you.
Despite all the things these people went through they still got on that stage and gave us the biggest show you can imagine it almost feel like you was there.....Thanks to all..
Незабвенное Время Величайшего Прорыва в Музыке ! Как грибы после дождя ! Золотые Имена ! Талантливые Исполнители ! Гениальные Композиторы ! Ярко ! Броско ! Пробудили ! Взорвали Головы ! Через Годы ! Страны и Континенты !!!
Wow, read about his passing and never knew about him, but today i found an amazing talented and awesome artist. Definitely the best. Wow he is just the best. Rip little Richard.
For many of us, the true King of Rock’n’Roll. Indisputably the best for me. Sad day for us down here, but oh boy, now he’s gone back Home, he’s rocking all the Angels of Heaven ! R.I.P. brother ❤️
I love Little Richard for me being 34 years old. so what if he is both ways. we need to stop judging each other and just pray and stop being so mean and hateful. I love his music. we have to give an account of our sins before God Almighty. keep being bless Mr. Richard your voice and music is amazing. God have blessed you with a gift of music and I'm happy that you are using it. people who is playing hating get some business and stop judging.
Little Richard is the King of Rockin Roll He came first Elvis gets the the credit but Jesus knows the truth Little Richard is still doing concerts 80 years old we love you Little Richard the Truth always wins in the end where is Elvis by the way
I love Little Richard! I used to live in Chicago during the 80th and worked with children. Whenever the kids got tired , one would sag Tutti Frutti, please!!! I turn on Little Richard real loud and everybody including me would jump up and dance like crazy. Than everybody got back at their seats and did their work. A few minutes before the end of the hour I turned on Lucille and we did it again. Wonderful memories. Greetings from Germany.
Today one of the greatest artists in the history of Music has left. Not only because of how great he was in himself (for his voice, his talent, his energy, his charisma ...) but also for being a pioneer of a musical genre, Rock and Roll, which ended up becoming the most cultural movement important from the second half of the 20th century. Without Little Richard there would be no Rolling Stones, Elvis, Beatles ... This man is a legend and the influence of his music on the musical culture of the 20th century is incalculable. Thanks so much, Rest in Peace Little Richards (Richard Wayne Penniman).
Little Richard actually turned out to be one of the biggest Richards in rock history ever

Are you talking about his package?
@@jou7363 Nope, absolutely Rock'n Roll ! But of course, it was vastly influenced by black music at that time (blue, boogie-woogie, etc...)
None of you were around in 1956, there wasn't rock and roll before this cat. He was an anomaly

Sane enough - Just his own version of sane.
Prince blows little Richard out if the atmosphere.
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 🤣
Stones suck
@PaulHarrisonAdventureGearMusic prince copied LR. By the time Prince hit the scene, LR had been rockin for 20yrs already.
My Respect Long Live Rock and Roll.
Love this!
Freaking brilliant
Heck yeah you’re the king of rock’n roll!!!!!!
Musical Genius, and pure sunshine!
