Yes Lord! Amen to that!!! That's very true and good information! God bless you!

very handsome

True.Little Richard came up in the 50s and BLK people didn't have Civil Rights.But when Michael Jackson purchased AVA? Catologs in 1985,he gave 2 people their catologs 4 free.Sly Stone and LITTLE RICHARD!hail Little Richard! Flamboyant as Prince and Michael, and MORE militant then Spike Lee and Public Enemy.RIP KING!

Freddie Mercury was very much on awe of Lil Richard. Early in Queen's live shows and other times, encore would be Tootie Fruity (sp?).

Before he died he no longer wore the makeup nor was he flamboyant,he gave his life to Christ 🙏

denise jackson I seen his video he was still flamboyant just old

@@denisejackson776 He was one of many artists that struggled with their Christian upbringing and living in the secular world. Little Richard wasn't the only one. Look at Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Al Green, Jerry Lee Lewis. Little Richard was born gay. That never changed.

@@seulbzzaj We all have struggled with sin,we are all human beings,the man said he rebuked the life style,he turned to Jesus,was no longer wearing makeup or wigs,I mean the man said it himself, look it up if you want to,at any rate not here to debate,he repented before he left this earth,his soul is at peace.🙏

Probably one of top of late night interviews....

Indeed.

Don't forget about Mike RIP

Yea I was like both of them gone now.

@@alishamccormick7804 Did you know that Joan Rivers said: "Michelle Obama is a man and we who met him all knows it!" and a week later Joan Rivers died.

@@antwantaylor7270 im in love with how funny it is

I know right!!! Went right straight to him! That is what I was saying too! Mike must have remember seeing him.

you are fucking people. ashole busterd

@@user-zn5es1gf1z the hell is wrong with you?

Little Richard is truly a "one off " He is the REAL king of rock. Wonderful performer and personality..

shut up

Beautiful!!!!!

Jerry Lee Lewis is the King my friend. And still rockn

@Seamus Lannon sounds like the truth hurts

@Seamus Lannon The Col bought publicity and claimed Elvis to be the King, just like Michael Jackson said he was the King of pop. Elvis was a pop artist, he sang anything the Col told him to for money. Jerry Lee Lewis , Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Barry, were rock n roll

@Seamus Lannon lol, you're delusional

The Bearded Seeker , your thoughts are similar to mine. R. I. P. Little Richard 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

He should’ve stayed in his own yard!!

Shut up.

@@ArbitraryLifestyle i was gonna say that 🤣🤣🤣

God spared him and He has been good to Little Richard!!!

Yes 😂

Yea I believe so too! I think he misunderstood both of the questions she asked him. He must have thought that she was asking about him the whole time.

He was on an entertainment show he was entertaining he didn't want to talk about a divorce

Scott Coleman .....Yes, you are right, Mr. Scott. However, Little Richard often said that he has “nothing to hide”. In other interviews he said he remains friends with his ex-wife, Ernestine. At his funeral, she went up with his brother to receive an honor from a city official.

That's great how you put that!

Thank you Alisha McCormick !🙏🏾❤️

@@jacquinielssen6288 You're welcome!!!

Gary has no personality, he's not comfortable with people and he doesn't have a comedic flair. Little Richard knows how to work the crowd and he's funny as heck. You can't help but like Little Richard.

They all gots a little sugar in their tanks. I could not believe that. Ricky had all those children.

Gary mimics him

Little Richard funeral

@CC Keith Richards is a mystery to

Little Richard survived because of his flamboyant personality and his wardrobe. Little Richard has said that during his day a black man couldn't be seen as masculine around whites, because white men didn't want black men around women for fear they would sleep with the white women, but if black men were effeminate than it was fine. Little Richard was a character but I believe he survived racism and ill treatment because he wasn't seen as a threat. His personality ease a lot of nerves, but if people paid attention to him, he was much more than a flashy gimmick. Early on, Little Richard had changed his life, he went back to school, graduated from an HBCU , became an ordained minister, left the music industry, because he realized it was about negativity, despite making money. Everyone that came in contact with him talked about his kindness. Little Richard was fearless, when many thought he was just crazy, he gave a real history lesson on how he actually discovered many rock and roll greats, and that he was the originator of Rock and Roll.

Bohwe All that, and..and.. and he was the goddamnedest great talent ever born. Purely ecstatic.

Not all gay men are effeminate ya bafoon.

@@jaimehudson760 I know you buffoon.

cocaine ?

I think he's under the influence of something here!!!

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 no that's who he is

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 At the time, he already gave up drugs for 10 years. It was just his behavior. The way he used to act.

Noooo, keep on shouting!

NO !.... he wasn't the first. There were loads of queens before him.....it's just that the straight world didn't want to see them, but they were always there through herstory since the beginning of time. You could say he was the first to bring camp to the masses. Huntey !

Dr. Armani Trosclair you know why the Industry is not talking about him ?

cubomania3 well from the old videos of him he always talked about God but not like this video 🌹

There's a song by Prince on his Diamonds and Pearls LP called Jughead.It talks about Little Richards issues with the music business, and crazy enough about 2years B4 Prince put slave on his face.His character in the movie is like him.Richard was more militant than people think.RIP bro.

Prince did dress and style himself after him check it out during the diamond and pearls era with the new power generation, he where's the bandanas with the big high hair. Then go look at little Richard and you'll see. He is very eccentric and colorful in personality but he's actually telling the truth. I think prince was obvious for a season dressing like him because he did have his own as well but he definitely was dressing inspired like him. Nothing is new under the sun even when it comes to prince and Michael Jackson.

Coury Landers I need to check that song out thank you for this tidbit

Christina Mitchell oh absolutely I believe you. I noticed the scarves ever since his movie under the cherry moon and in the early 90s. I just find it so fascinating that I never saw it before until watching this interview. It’s amazing

@@IamGaby lol I understand completely but it's probably because we did not grow up on little Richard our family member before us did. He was prince back in the day for his generations. You know it was a shock for me to see smoothe criminal by Michael was inspired by Fred estaire. I knew he said he was inspired by Fred but it was very much like the movie.

He's the Queen of R&R. Elvis is the King.

@@Richbar-qe6bx That's a lie,how can you be the king when you stole songs? in an already established genre no less...

@@panthersinstinct2750 What song did Elvis steal? In other words: what song did he sing and not give credit to the writer? Elvis is the King because he established R&R as we know it today. Back when gay little richard and Chuck "the chucker" Berry were singing, it was all rhythm and blues. Elvis created the moves, the rebellion, the badness, the voice, attitude, rock and roll as we know it. If not for Elvis, black musicians would not have made it as far as they did.

@@Richbar-qe6bx He didn't still a song,he stole multiple...what you just said was quite the opposite. The moves,the rebellion,the badness,the voice,the attitude,etc... were ALL present via multiple BLACK musicians,he wouldn't be Elvis without black people and that's a fact,do some research...you yourself admitted he was taking songs (did occasionally give credit) so what makes you think the songs were the only thing he was adopting? you'd be crazy to think otherwise. Again,he came in an already established genre.

@@panthersinstinct2750 Again, I ask: What song did he steal? Do you know the meaning of stealing? Look it up: definition of stealing is "take (another person's property or song) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it." Just one example, the song hound dog was written by Lieber and stoller. Google who wrote the song hound dog: Lieber and Stoller. Stealing means Elvis sang the song and gave no credit to those who wrote it. That is what stealing is. As for the moves, he originated and influenced many black entertainers in the business like Jackie Wilson who once said: “A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man’s music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.” Jackie Wilson And Al Green said: "Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us." Need more proof? Isaac Hayes said: "Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business." Isaac Hayes. Before making your ignorant comments, do you research first.

Rip Little Richard You Will be missed 😢😢❤

jerry stiller ):

Wonder if we are some how related

You are incorrect, he toured in Canada.

ELVIS AIN'T NOBODY'S DAD-BLAMED KING.

Yeah right. I thought about it. Why did he say that

Yes!

I saw the Testimony of Little Richard also, and my belief, Little Richard character was just a gimmick to get through it all cuz back in those days it was tough and you need something to make it, besides his fabulous talent. I've also seen on KZfaq his T.V shows in England in or around beginning of 1960's he was full of energy!

Kareem Beaman 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great musician but lacks any intellect whatsoever.

@Jack T He says some very interesting things. He is an amazing pioneer of music. He's bold, but he says a lot of ridiculous things to. Your welcome to whatever opinions you may have.

@@GuitarguyRichard56 His ego is an act.....I think that shows alot of intelligence

First on the charts in 20+ years? Elvis was never off the charts in 21years. 1956-1977. That's why Little Richard was full of it elvis is the king and always will be. His number 1's and little less conversation was number 1 worldwide years after he died
