Pat Boone danced like Howdy Doody.

Well Little Richard got the last laugh. He's an icon who will always be loved and remembered. Nobody cares about Pat Boone.

The religious wholesome Pat Boon singing a song about cruising for men.And not understanding what he was singing .. Fantastic

Little Richard was the true king of rock and roll fantastic performer RIP

Rest in Peace 5/9/2020

The only time I hear Pat Boone is when "The Innovator", "The Originator", and "The Architect of Rock and Roll Little Richard talks about him

Lol aw Little Richard seems so amazing

I bloody loved Little Richard.

He got the last laugh in the end. Little Richard is a icon. Who is Pat Boone but an old man who does infomercials now?

Little Richard layed the blue prints for all of Rock n Rock....You can't be a rockstar and not pay him his respect....

I love both artist but Little Richard did it best! Love!!!!

I love that man, when I feel a bit low, I play Little Richard, and I feel great.

Pat Boone trying to dance 😳😂😂😂

No way could Pat Boone compete with Little Richard and come out the winner.

🎂Pat Boone 06-01-2022

Pat Boone took a good song (Tutti Frutti) and wanted to climb the pop charts with it. That's exactly what Little Richard and his producer wanted, when they changed the original words.

The king

This doc used to be named That Rhythm, Those Blues, directed I thought by Portia Maultsby. Been searching for this with the wrong title all this time.

Ultimately Litttle Richard and others made music the great unifier and race as far as music went. They were loved by most all.

Jesus, PB is literally doing finger snaps on the 1 and the 3. This is like that scene in "Airplane" where the nun is singing "Respect" by Aretha Franklin and the black guys are throwing up.

This video shows that it wasn't only just elvis that borrowed from black music. There were lots of white performers in those days borrowing from black music. Georgia gibbs, bill haley, the crew cuts, the diamonds, jerry lee lewis, and later in the 60s, the beatles, the rolling stones, the yardbirds and more all borrowed from black music. Somehow, people act like it was only elvis who was doing it. If elvis is a thief then most white artists like bill haley, pat boone, the crew cuts, the beach boys, the beatles, the rolling stones and more were all thieves too. I find it bizarre when some rock critics talk about the 50s white rock n roll artists as if like they are thieves and then they praise the rolling stones and beatles for doing SIMILAR things. Hypocrisy and saving white guilt to protect other white artists is real here.

LMFAOOO 😂 love this

I wonder if Pat Boone ever apologied

They want our culture and rhythm but never our blues.

Richard W. Penniman 1932- 2020

Our little white suburban family (mostly the Mom and Pop's) considered Pat Boone an embarrassment when it came to music.

Bruh imagine being so racist you won’t let you children listen to music by another race. It doesn’t always feel like it, but we’ve come a long way

Though Little Richard was a class act and brilliant rock and roll singer. Pat Boone was also a very fine singer with a great voice.

Where is the full episode of this

6,000 years of hating and swaggerjacking.

Where’s this from

LLoyd Price was the first crossover from R&B Race Music to the larger White audience with Laudy Miss Claudy & Stagger Lee!

Sad times with the covers, but this is so cynical. Clean cut guy with his tie halfway down his chest.... As someone else commented, I don't dislike Pat Boone but his covers were bad and thankfully have not stood the test of time.

Elvis recorded little Richard’s Tutti Frutti (Album Track) Long Tall Sally (Album Track) Rip it up (Album Track) Ready Teddy (Album Track) Pat Boone little Richard’s covers were all released as Singles in direct competition with little Richard’s originals Elvis gets the hate but it should be Pat Boone and Bill Haley

Pat Boone sound like a deep voice hero 😂 lol not trying to be mean but he does 😂 lol

Pat Boone is still a great singer. Please stop shitting on him for covering a song. These comments are ridiculous.

Well to be sald ':Little Richard is Tutti Frutti. Pat Boone did a few songs with his wife there are good. FATS DOMINO Sing Aint thats a shame and IT was a shame Pat Boone cover IT. I go for black musis Elvis and Jazz.

Many black artist (including Little Richard) credit Pat Boone for getting his song on the radio. Little Richard was washing dishes when he heard Pat Boone's version come on the radio, Richard got excited because he wrote the song, threw down the rag and quit his job. By Pat Boone performing many of the black artist songs, it opened the the door that allowed their music to be accepted and heard on stations around the world. Pat also narrowed the race gap by having the majority of popular black artist on his TV show in the 50's. Pat Boone turns 88 on June 1, 2022. He has two movies, a book, and a double album coming out this year.

I don’t think a lot of you understand that it was an other world back then. Do you think it was just a fluke that a white handsome boy from Memphis became the supposed King of Rock n Roll. No way would the music industry or media have allowed an African American to rise to such heights. Even Elvis was banned from wiggling his hips. African Americans were the founders of Rock n Roll.

Pat Boone stole from little richard

Pat looked ridiculous

Pat Boone was a completely different style, more like a crooner. I prefer Little Richard’s version but I like Pat Boone in other types of songs.

Pat Boone,rien à voir comparé à Little Richard

Id rather hear a BA BOONE SING Tutti Fruity than Pat Boone

Wow, some many here are hating on Pat Boone. Most of his hit songs were not covers of black artists. Fats Domino had nothing but nice thing to say about Pat Boone. Little Richard had nothing unkind to say of him. Elvis did covers of black songs, but not get nearly the hate as here. Pat did some excellent ballads. He's a good man heading for 90 in a few years. He deserves honor not disrespect.

Here is a consistent reminder of how counterproductive it is to bow the knee to the mainstream media and let them dictate your musical taste for you: Pat Boone has recorded in almost every imaginable genre excluding perhaps fusion, and he excelled at all of it. But the mainstream media has a cookie cutter mini-bio of the guy, and that's what the lazy armchair quarterbacks invoke out of hand ("white shoes," "goody goody," "has zero biz singing African-American records,"). Did you know he put out a new country album last year? You probably did, and he had pushed it very heavily. But that lot doesn't want hear it or hear about it. Did you know he once covered the Byrds' "Mr. Spaceman"? That still doesn't fit their narrative. Let me save everybody here a few years of frustration: that lot aren't real fans of anything. They are casual/peripheral observers for whom music is not a priority. There is no point in trying to placate nor appease them. On the other hand, the cerebral and/or the hardcore will stand in solidarity with you. And they do so for life, instead of in reaction to whichever way the wind blows.

I’m sorry and not jump on Pat Boon… but when they cut away to him dancing it reminds of Steve Martin the jerk when he first heard jazz

Not quite true--there were always some Black artists that white stations played, but only a few, like Nat King Cole and Harry Belafonte.

Pat Boone looks like a robot.. Leave the job to Little Richard.

A Dam Shame , the great is always discriminated against and murdered ! They hated on Jesus too!

If you're going to steal some ones music you should be able to have the talent to sing it right!!.....oops you failed pat b!!

Pat Boone walked so white Tik Tok-ers could fly.

Pat Boone is a rip off! A one trick corn ball

SMH

Sometimes music is a black/white thing, but not in a bad way. White crooners like Pat Boone, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra sang in a different style from black guys like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Sam Cooke. I like cream of wheat AND oatmeal......cream of wheat with white sugar, oatmeal with brown sugar & cinnamon. That’s just how I like it. Both good to me, but different. My gosh, trying to make Pat Boone sing a Little Richard song was painful! Elvis could have done it, but he was one in a million! Yeah, I’m a fat middle aged white guy from the south.....what’s my top three CDs I keep close in my truck?.......Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke, and Little Richard! RIP gentlemen.

Pat Boone singing tootie fruity and dancing like that, he should be disrespected !!!

I dont dislike Pat Boone but his covers sucked

Pat Boone ewww

I already hated Pat Boone for his homophobic robocalls, but now im furious he ripped of little Richard ... he was like the Donald Trump of the 50's, may he rot in hell 😈

Pat Boone’s isn’t even good in a karaoke way

So much anti-white racism in this film and in the comments. Oh well, you gotta go where the money is.
