@@captainamericaamerica8090 thats COOL 👍🏼

I am he's such a beautiful man.

I was fortunate to have met him after one of his concerts around 2003. It is by far one of the highlights of my life. I told everyone about him every chance I got for at least 2 years! He was a very humble person and treated me so kindly. I was very impressed. I'm so sad that he's gone now.

Lore Bay Amen

Comedy arises from trauma....

I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Prince Moshe instablaster :)

@frank regalado - settle down. Lol Yes it's always cool to hear Little Richard talk about these legends that he had a hand with and inspired. I am with you there. But look, do you have an even remote concept of just how many Legends / icons are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that have given interviews saying - "if it were not for Elvis..." - in their interviews? And Many Dozens of those other legendary greats have gone on record into extensive detail of just how powerfully that Elvis influenced and inspired them. Might want to actually research that a little bit. I mean it shouldn't be a competition. But let's not take the low-road of trying to make Little Richard somehow more special just because you feel those Legends he mentioned somehow make him better than Elvis. Hell, Little Richard himself had great respect for Elvis. He used to tell people he remembered back in the early days of rock & roll when it was just pretty much he & Elvis, more than any of the other rockers, that were selling the most records ..and that the kids were going crazy over the 2 of them the most. He talked about how saw all the Hate Elvis was getting, and Little Richard pointed out much of that hate was from racist white people. Little Richard dealt with that racist hate of course also. His drummer, Charles Conner was also a drummer for James Brown. Charles Conner is a legendary R&B drummer. He also documented how much he himself and Little Richard and James Brown all respected Elvis. He talked about one night when a bunch of white cops harassed him and Little Richard after a concert and those cops told them to - "Tell your n-word lovin' friend Elvis when he comes to town next week we're going to harass him also". And they did harass Elvis. This stuff is documented from those old newspapers back then Little Richard and BB King talked about how Elvis caught pure hell and how it wasn't an easy Road for him. They all had mad respect for Elvis. And out there in old archived newspaper and magazine interviews from 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1972 are interviews where Little Richard talked about how Elvis was Legit. In one of those interviews he talked about some of the people that ripped him off, BUT how he wouldn't tolerate people talking that shyt about Elvis, because L. Richard made it clear Elvis was not one of them. He talked about how Elvis always had his back and he even told a story about a favor Elvis did once to help him out. It meant a lot to Little Richard. And another interview he also said one of the things he respected about Elvis was, (unlike some of the other entertainers out there), Elvis didn't use his public platform to put other people down, he always tried to lift people up. I mean this was Little Richard talking about Elvis in interviews. And Little Richard was correct about that. Listening or reading the dozens of Elvis's interviews is evidence. (Not to mention also the hundreds of times Elvis did it from the stage throughout his years.) Chuck D from Public Enemy said years ago Little Richard called him out for dissing Elvis. I mean Chuck D admitted this in an interview himself. And Chuck D later acknowledged he was wrong about Elvis. He started having a lot of respect for Elvis after he researched more about his career back then and what Elvis went through. People don't know anything about this stuff. It's like people quit reading interviews years ago. Anyway point is let's just try to keep it classy. We can give Little Richard his props without the cheap shots at Elvis, like so many people like to do for some reason.

Lil Richard was the world greatest rocker roller Doo booper ever very talented entertainment ever live I wish I could had the opportunity to meet him because he was a realize.Probadly won't ever be another Lil Richard.

@@debramosley2067 My gramps met him and his boyfriend LOVER!! GREAT PEOPLE

​@@joebrewer4529 You don't see good men hanging with devils like you.

In China, Venezuela, Cuba, north corea, Afghanistan & other African countries are NOW segregated due to communism.

No, no woman, you got that backwards. It's astonishing woman what hell white people have endured since the 1865 emancipation

WTH does that mean

STUPID!

I almost cried when I read your message yes I'm so glad

He is singing with the Angels to the King of Kings!

Yes!! But I don't think he's resting in peace... I think he's celebrating with the Lord!! : ))

@@tammylawley4626 hallelujah! what a great testimony

Renette Jones yes me too. Had no idea until I saw a video of him in his later years. How awesome 👏🏻

Yes what a testimony he had. And in the end he loved God so much he became straight ..He was welcomed with singing angels into Heaven ❤ I could listen to his stories all day. A

Ano, ale v nas zije porad a bude dal zit❤

You said that right!

Amen!

Yes

Amen!!! Praise the Lord Almighty!!!

@@eniepresley5867 'illuminestes'? Do you mean 'the illuminati' ? Anybody less like that I can't imagine. He belonged to the Lord all the way along but if you need proof, look at the last interview he gave ...

@@eniepresley5867 Again, I don't understand your English. You said: 'why he switched from gay to normal, when he respected the Lord so much'. You are not making sense. What do you even mean?

@@eniepresley5867 I have already told you what I know: Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’

@@Dvora777 Learn English and expand your mentality, then you won't get stucked with everything like little kid.

@@Dvora777 I don't need to discuss anything with you, you don't need to be answering to me for any reason. They are all simply playing people under God's name. That's all. Little Richard does not care what you think...

This Spot gave Me a New Insight into the Tremendous Intellect of Little Richard. He could Talk, Walk, Sing and Play at So Many Levels. One of My Favorite Performers of ALL TIME.

Cant wait to meet u in heaven

Amen

Amen. What a beautiful sentiment you expressed there 🙏

Amen!!! I sure hope I'll meet him in Heaven too ❤️. I love 💞 Little Richard. He was a talented singer and a very gifted and anointed Preacher of the Gospel.

Zazrak, vyjimecny, neskutecny❤

Very well spoken Vickie Cerda.

He makes me happy somehow, even now ...

What a wonderful man, I don't know why his father treated him so bad! Love the guy!

he said in an interview it was his homosexuality (Richard's) that he tried to beat out of him as a child. No place for a black homosexual in the South in those days. Completely unacceptable. So his father wailed on him around the clock to try to change him. Later as a kid about 12, Richard's best friend killed his father in a bar. Richard said his friend was in jail a couple of months and then was released, nothing more said about it. That's what he said. On a KZfaq interview with Donny and Marie. You can listen to it. Very sad. Richard cries about his father not loving him.

The R&R Hall Of Fame is political.

You know how people try to erase/forget history! It's a shame really. Elvis and the Beatles copied popular black music and they are not better or more legendary than Lil Richard. They tried though, I'll give them a B for effort.

@ Nobody is trying to erase history. More whites were going to see Little Richard, than blacks. I have always loved him, but he shouldn't be trying to take ALL of the credit. Elvis opened the door for black artists. Elvis had his own style. Yes, I know Elvis covered different people's songs, but he did them with his own style.

Yeppers

I Agree

Anyday anytime!

He loved to have his ass kissed and to be praised for who he is.

Oh how I love your terming us as a Bouquet! Thank you so very much for your comment 👍

@@maryzambrana7141 he was quoting Richard in the interview :)

Beautiful!!

Amen 🎉🎉

Kgg

roxy lee i think he would have been taken alot more serious if he had ballads in the top 10 also. This guy was a huge talent along with elvis Chuck berry and buddy holly

roxy lee Amen! Glory to God!

davidj1210 they were friends and elvis loved richard

davidj1210 Little Richard real father look like him?

He was an early influence to Bob Dylan as well.

Also (Prince) too!

What's crazy is he inspired so many people who left before him. People who did become Super Stars.

And prince

With jerry lee for the piano. And Chuck Berry for king of rock'n'roll guitar.

LittleRichard1957 Again mainstream media try to trick us about king of rock ‘n’ roll

Amen to that....

Depends on *which* "god"..... .......

Like Elvis said "There's only on King, and that's Jesus". Never heard Little Richard say it, though.

he is a mega star but no one agrees

Macleata Kirkwood he wrote some vreat rock songs

I believe he also influenced many comedians too can just hear it when Eddie Murphy will Smith etc speak or act

Thanks@Adrienne Adrienne
