That's a beautiful way to put it. Fully agree!

Preach!

Damn right.

Amen!

little Richard will remiss GodBless

He says "necessary."

@@MakeKZfaqGreatAgain1 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!

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."

And The Rolling Stones

Shut up

"There will never be anyone like Richard." And we're glad! ONE QUEEN was more than enough. HA, HA

ABSOLUTELY! 🤣❤

"never to be duplicated." THANK GOD!

@@91dodgespiritrt nunca será duplicado simplesmente porque jamais irá aparecer alguém que faça o que ele fez e foi.

He sure is

I love him

Dude, you got that right !!!

❤

To all of us across the world

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.

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

MIZZTOTAL So hoe did Little Richard call out Mick Jagger?

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.

.. 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

I just watched one of his last talks it was so inspiring kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grqImdtlzZrNgKc.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!!

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.

Tito Ramone 😂😂

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.

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!

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...

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.

One of the funniest guys ever.Amazing personality.How could you not like him?

Right on.

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.

I’m sure he loves you for that

The King and queen R.I.P. Little Richard

RIP it up

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

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. :)

I absolutely love the Grammy video

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Take my picture”😁 R.I.P🙏❤️

He said shut up make my picture 😂

My birth year

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

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.

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 😊

"SHUT UP" LIL RICHARD WOULD MAKE YOU LAUGH !!!!!!

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 was not "reverend," he was Pastor Penniman. RIP

I - proudly - HATE IT. HA, HA

The hall of Fame rep.trying to rush Richard off the stage he stole the show.

"NO NO!."

Was Alice cooper? He looked mad

They knew Who LR was ... Just The Black King of RnR

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

So real!

Yassssssssss!!!

Cocaine is a hell of a Drug

ya gotta love em, the king.

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 KZfaq, 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.

I'm glad he found the Lord.

R.I.P🙏❤️❤️❤️

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.

Yeah, but nobody sings a TOm Waits song as good as Tom Waits. Unless they completely redo it and add gospel choir.

🔌❤🎶🎵🎵🎶🥰

Could you image just being around him,touring with him, I loved his energy!

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!

I agree. This was great, but Sam Cooke over Otis Redding in my book.

They’re all legends

Fool garden

giorgos vasiliou I agree he's a mess but you've got to love him

He needed his own TV Show!

hahaha that made me laugh! thanks!

YEs, when people forget he reminds them as he should and does it in the most entertaining way. True to his talented self.

This was fun to watch.

Yes. He was a JOKE. HA, HA

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.

@@paranormal33 nonsense? Prove me wrong.

+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.

Yaaasssss....

Gorgeous absolutely!

Absolutely!!!

They truly did him wrong. He is the king!

fucking god.

He seems like a real one too. Little Richard is funny. He had me cracking up 💀😂😂

Boy, who wouldn't want to be inducted into the R&R HOF posthumously by the architect and original creator of R&R, LIL RICHARD.

Thanks very much 👍👍 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9VlZbun0868dX0.html *NIGHT TRAIN TO MEMPHIS* country guitar cover by *Duane 🤠Eddy*

Only little Richard could turn an induction of another artist into his own concert and get away with it

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.

I'm jealous

awesome story:)

Truth, originator and Emperor of Rick and Roll......! Can I get a witness ?

R. R. Yes sir , I will gladly be you're witness....white boy from New Jersey !
