Why are yall commenting about Elvis and The Beatles. This a Little Richard video . All of them were and are amazing musicians. Respect the music. I love them all and we should appreciate them all<3
holly hell he's fucking good and i notice the top comment someone mentioned race in it like they say race doesnt matter its all about how good you are at what you do in life and that shit
The first time that I saw Little Richard was in the early 70s. At the very beginning of the show, he said,"Elvis may be the King of Rock and Roll, but Little Richard is the QUEEN of Rock and Roll.
that's low man to say that no respect for great artist u should be a shame of yourself. no he is he queen of rock and roll for real little richard is a true gay flamer.
n 1956, DJ Alan Freed said that LRichard is the real solid rocker. Little Richard is explosive and charismatic. His ostrageous personality captured the music´s rebbelious spirit and his franticallly piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals defined its sound. Little Richard is the real king of rock and roll. All heavy metal band vocalists sing like Little Richard, in other words, at full volume. He was the symbol of rejection. Elvis was the symbol of conformity and served in the army.
To the Elvis haters, grow up. see hard to see your logic when Chuck, BB, Hayes, Al Green, Wonder, Davis jnr, Jackie Wilson i can go on and on and on. they all praise Elvis as the greatest Entertainer to have ever walked God's green Earth.. I love them all, from Zep to Wonder to Miles Davis, but Elvis was a FREAK, like no other, he had it ALL, and nobody invented COOL like that cat, he oozed COOL, read Eddie Murphy's comments, and did more for black people and his peers then anyone ever...
Ricahrd came up in the era of "Race Stations" and did not get the airplay white artists did. Elvis' records got good distribution. Richard was not always signed to big labels. Richard had 46 global hits and should have had at least 92!
the beatles?..what the hell.. i dont know anyone in the USA that likes the beatles like they did elvis..lol at the beatles..i even asked people..and alot of people. i did a pole on a website... and no one liked the beatles in the USA like they did elvis..and if elvis was alive when all the media is like they are now..he would be even alot bigger than michael jackson was in his time
I enjoy the music of Both Elvis and Little richard, Little had 20 albums released and Elvis released around 60. Elvis I feel evolved with his music, meaning that he stayed on the charts releasing music through out his career that was played on radio stations up until his death. Little richard did well into the early seventies, but his style ( which was great) never seemed to evolve, but his gospe musicl was awesome, you should listen to that if given the chance.
@RayMagic92 Elvis didnt call himself the KIng, it was the media, based off the sales of his music and his popularity. Little Richard was great, but since he quit the music business in 57. wasnt much left to do. Ike turner was singer before Little richard...look up rocking 88, the first rock n roll record.
@crashbug "Rocket 88." The singer was Jackie Brenston. Ike Turner's band backed him. Turner himself rarely sang. He was a fantastic guitarist, though.
@1969sharpSkinhead And it would seem that Richard also "stole" tunes such as this one (aka Steady Grindin') from earlier artists as well - nothing new under the sun, as they say ...
@Ericson1305 SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH! there is NOONE and I mean NOONE bigger than The Beatles. I would like to see Elvis accomplish all the success The Beatles had in just 9 short years.
I agree when you talk about the Black artists songs being covered by whites to cross over to the white middle class. Elvis did sing Black rhythm and blues songs like That's All Right Mama but also White songs such as Blue moon of Kentucky. Elvis was raised in the Black and other race areas of Memphis. Many Elvis #1 hits from 56-59 were original songs written by black and white writers with only a couple of covers. If it was not for the mix of black and white music we would not have the music now
Little Richard is amazing and as said a originator, but this is rhythm and blues not Rock N Roll, Fats Domino was rhythm and Blues, Chuck berry was Country Rock/Rock n roll, Early Elvis was Rockabilly some of his RCA recordings like Hound Dog and Jail House Rock were Rock n Roll, Jerry Lee Lewis is pure Rock n Roll / Country. Elvis was crowned the King of Rock n Roll I guess from the amount of records he sold, number ones he had and as how popular he was. Nothing to do with skin color any more.
@rockaboogieband you're right that you could say Elvis is the king of rock if you're just looking at the number records he sold, but what songs was he singing; Chuck Berry's, Little Richard's, Fats Domino's and so many other artists who could never have been as popular as Elvis in mainstream white supremest society, because they were black. So the record companies that owned their songs let white people use them for the royalties incidentally giving them the credit as well

@Enigmafly13 ....hey i love richard, why do you have to bring rascism into it, but Elvis was HUGE and still is HUGE, Elvis was born and raised in memphis and stayed there till he died, he did'nt steal NOTHING........Elvis is and was far more important to the evolution of music and style than richard ever was or will be.....deal with it
because its the fact that your a fucking liar. Elvis aint got shit on these people.Elvis DID steal Rock and its common knowledge you moron. You trying to defend him does not make history any less true.
Funny how you try to say how great he is and how hes the king of something we created.
Just like whites are trying to say Em is the greatest rapper. White people never learn they do the same shit over and over. Trying to claim yourself as the gretest of shit we made up.
@Enigmafly13 .....your just a rascist plane and simple, the point i'm making is elvis is far better than richard, he has the biggest collection of gold and platinem records in the world....ask anyone who the king is ....its Elvis get over it
LOL white people always call racism when they cant prove shit.
Platinum albums dont mean shit. Em has a lot of platinum albums and guess what. MOST white people buy his albums just like they did elvis. White people as a majority always had the most income and it shows these are FACTS not racial BS that you are trying to claim. And as i said he stole it white people steal and try to claim themselves king. BS LR is the king you get over it...thieving bastards.
@008maguire GTFOH with this! Elvis didn't do a thing except COPY, learn about your great musician and you'll see who he stole from, Black Choirs, Chuck Berry and Little Richard and a whole host of other Blacks who didn't reap sh** because stations wouldn't play their music. I am SOOOO sick and tired of you Whites trynna claim stuff that ain't yours! and Em is a Whiny little puppy
@psychmaj323 There are more Elvis fans floating around than Little Richard fans. So, suck it up and quit whining and playing the victim because of the color of your skin.
@1060893 lol, that might be true, but think of it this way, the only reason why you all even like Elvis is because of Little Richard and Chuck Berry, without them, Elvis wouldn't even be known. Not playing the victim, just stating the facts and if that makes you uncomfortable, too damn bad.
@psychmaj323 But see here's the difference. Richard could sing great & played piano. Chuck could sing okay but played great guitar. But Presley could sing great & could dance & perform his ass off plus he had more sex appeal than Richard & Chuck. Let's face it they all 3 were great but Elvis was a bad muthafucka!
SHUT-UP ,...mr pitternan has NOT gotten his props...WTF taking yall so long to give him his due...like....BET awards, SOUL TRAIN music award, NAACP, MTV,VH1, GRAMMY, NOBEL PEACE,....DAMMIT AND DA BLUE SUEDE SHOESAWARD...HUH?????HUH??????HUH???????WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!.....SHUT-UP
what is wrong with all of you listen to the music ! stop ranting about color,just enjoy the music who cares about who is the king of rock and roll, just be thankful we have music too enjoy.......................!
What the hell is up with all the old fat white people who look like the Branson Breakfast crowd(BBC) this is PBS,why dont they film these shows in L.A. Detroit,Philly,Harlem!? HEY PBS NEXT TIME TRY FILMING SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN WHITESVILLE or is it really trad--dad and whites only????
Little Richard came on the scene in the 1950's. The people who listened to him then are the ones you see in the audience the ones you so callously refer to as the "Branson Breakfast Crowd". They knew true rock and role from its beginning they knew it like you will never know it, boy. Now STFU&FO!
@Jacobrester Recorded by Lil Johnson in 1935 and Louis Jordan in 1939. But Richard made it his own by rocking it like a madman - his is rock 'n' roll! Elvis covered Tutti Frutti and it was terrible. I could hardly tell the difference between the version by Elvis and the Pat Boone version. I'm serious! It was quite a let down. But I still like Elvis, but he isn't the king. And to his credit, I read a quote where Elvis said something like: "I never said I was king - Little Richard is King"
Whats with all this black stuff? Talent shines through no matter what colour. Elvis is the only king, stop arguing about it. His talent gave him the title. Everyone knows Elvis is the king, just ask anyone! Who is the King and they will ALL reply Elvis. Sounds like sour grapes from our sun tanned friends if you ask me. Oh wow Thornton had a hit with hound dog? if she was any good she would have had another 24 No 1s like Elvis.
Very impressive! Your exceptional grasp of the English language is admirable. I would love the oportunity to discuss further with you but I feel that if that is a typical response of yours to a reasonable comment of mine then the discussion would be fruitless, pointless and a waste of my time.
@colinwt well you may cease with your false congratulations, by being a sycophantic fraud you r are just ungenuine and discussion with you would lead to further displays of your arrogance. begone you ghastly parody of yourself.
@JRussoBuffaloNY Pusso...I mean Russo....What is this with you calling other people "parodies of themselves"? What's your excuse? I guess being a hilariously pathetic 30 year old balding virgin comes natural to you, as does sitting on your fat ass in your moms basement beating off to BBW porn.
@TonyBambino pusso? so that childlike insult just came from a 35 year old? my reason for not being a parody is that I am not the person changing letters in ppl's names. but it doesn't mean anything and ur insult doesn't go far. actullay u r pathetic in that u cannot address anything from any o my commentaries of validity. all u can do is assume with degrading words that u find humorous. and of course the american arrogance and profanity, you are so transparent a truly shallow individual.
@JRussoBuffaloNY This coming from a 30 year old dude who types out "u" and "r" like a tweenage girl. Also, you constantly mis-spell simple words like "actually" and "interesting" and then you call others "childlike" is that the pot calling the kettle black? What is this about "commentaries"? Are you referring to those hilariously pathetic comments you left on my profile on behalf of the other idiot I've made an ass out of (allaboutthestink). You can't be serious.
@TonyBambino u & r r used to save space it is habitual due to commentaries being more than 500 letters. and yes commentary & the pluralization of , r both words. look it up. "dude" sounds like a "tween" but being of a 15 year old mentality in the real adult world is normality for u, do not be mystified when there r ppl who do not like u and u can not express why. how r ur relationships going a person of ur nature has more than one because they can not plz a female or a male.. poor fool
@JRussoBuffaloNY It took you a week to respond and that's all you got? You're a wierdo, I don't even understand half of the things you are blabbing about. You're obviously a repressed homosexual, you're so concerned about my sex life. A person of your nature has more than one relationship becuase you can not please a female...or a male...or barn animal/house pet. Stick to giving hand jobs to your daddy allaboutthestink...it's the only thing you're good at....
@TonyBambino actually u have made no sense since u began harrassing and stalking me from video to video that is why I had mentioned homosexuality because of your affinity for chasing male youtube users from vid to vid. idk why u r persistant in this way. I feel the need to report ur verbal assaults,instigating,race baiting, trolling, and provocation. u r wrong.
@JRussoBuffaloNY HA! I'll never run out of things to say, you idiots will never let that happen. What you and the other morons I've made asses out of don't seem to understand is that you feed me the ammunition with your pathetic lame attempts at responding to me. You're just not clever or witty enough to hang with me. You try and then you cry and turn it into a personal fued by cyberstalking just like your sugar daddy.
@TonyBambino ppl like u can throw around a generic phrase like repressed homosexual this is part of your vocabulary influenced by tv dialogue, come up with something original. there is nothing evident about that, it may be something u suspect but more so intended as an insult which doesn't mean anything.
@JRussoBuffaloNY Yeah, it's generic (according to you) but what other definition would you use to describe a 30 year old dude who claims to be straight, yet makes comments out of the blue about not pleasing women...or men? Sounds like some repressed homosexual feelings to me. Either that or self projection....I say both.
@TonyBambino actully what is ironic is how you went a step further and mentioned animals, wtf r ur extracurricular activities? u have quite the imagination. btw u contradicted urself, u must be out of insults lol, on page 2 u called me a virgin. so which is it now stupid? u don't even remember what u type.
@JRussoBuffaloNY AHAHAHAHA! Don't know how things go where you live...but in most normal settings, losing your virginity involves sleeping with an actual human being. So sorry, no...you sticking your little pecker in some poor chihuahua's ass hole every night doesn't count (Hence, you're still the bald 30 year old virgin that I say you are, sitting in your skid marked underwear wating for me to respond to you to every day).
@TonyBambino btw nice huniting and deduction case you solved by locating one of my comments and or responses. is that how long it took you that u actullay found me 6 hours ago so that has to be between 5 and 8 am, it appears as thought you need more interseting activities rather than "stalking & trolling" as you ppl say. allabouttheink will just ream u again.
@JRussoBuffaloNY Huniting? I think you mean "hunting" and No I didn't need to hunt or deduct a thing. All I had to do was click @JRussoBuffaloNY and it shows all of your last responses. I know that seems like rocket science to a simple moron like you, but it's really not.
@TonyBambino ok tiny u win, now u may feel re-assured at the astute man u is. but I must say btween 5 & 8 am perhaps u should sleep instead of stalking.
@TonyBambino also I do not share activity I have it set as private and it is not on display so u r a liar and have used other methods to stalk and troll. well u can sit around all day and deduce. but yeah u still won. good for you, now here is the distinguished service cross for bavery. take care brave soldier.

@MurkyUrineisaBITCH : A lot of people believe MJ begged his good friend Taylor to go call him king. I belive that as well. He was that type of person. That was his big dream.
About London... its not a rumor. My sister works there and she ought to know. Elvis is extremely popular in Europe. And in Asia. You hypotheses about people would call LR king is something you can keep believe in. But black people advocate for their black brothers, so it does not bother me.
Elvis was never a self proclaimed King, his fans did that for him.. Elvis had a style all his own. Little Richard is good and great dancing music, but Elvis Presley rocked the world with his Rockabilly style
and his charisma that hooked the fans forever... Thirty two years later after his death his name is still in lights..
ELVIS PRESLEY is not the king idiot.A lot of silly people on the internet.The music was becoming universal before elvis came in the picture.Rock n roll was playing in engand before elvis and after elvis.The king would be the creator.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
We all know that's MR. ELVIS PRESLEY is the king ! Say what you want but THE THAT TITLE BELONGS TO ELVIS !
Like it or not Little Richard and others had it all down before Elvis but ELVIS MADE IT UNIVERSAL and opened the doors for performers and fans to liking different music.
And Elvis made it his own he had the looks, talent and humbleness to continue to this day.
Uh, right. Except Elvis didn't continue to this day. I saw Little Richard last year, and the guy still rocks! Also, Little Richard and Chuck Berry wrote their own best songs. Elvis--not so much. I love me some Elvis, but I think his being white had a lot to do with his being crowned the King.
I don't think Little Rich wrote that many songs but that doesn't matter. You're right. But here's my argument; if Richard was white he'd have been the King, but if Elvis was black he'd be considered better by the underground fans when compared to a white Little Richard.
You know,ELVIS sang too many styles,too many, This is FANTASTIC despite L.Richard or C.Berry and THAT`s why ELVIS is THE KING ,not only rock `n roll king!
Its funny that black people like to call themself kings. This Richard call himself king, and MJ made his friends call him king of pop. And funny as hell was it in London at the Brit Awards when MJ demanded to be introduced as king of pop, or he would not enter the stage. So they gave in and called him king of pop. Elvis did`nt want to be called king. But 99,9% of the world population see Elvis as the ONE AND ONLY KING! People dont even know Little R.
Look up the facts ,Elvis wasn't bad but they crowned him The King of rock n roll because of He was White (watch the movie about Elvis and How he watched Black People.)
I know all the facts, so relax. Only pathetic black people that cant accept Elvis as king, because he is white. Fucking racists!
If Elvis was black, every black guy would claim he was the king. But who cares about that (and that punk "Little Richard) since the rest of the world look at Elvis as the one and only king. People outside the US have hardly heard about Little Richard.
Hey my baby sis isn't racist! We all have our on opinions! Even if he was black he still wouldn't been called the King of Rock n Roll in our eyes.Because just the way he sings,somtimes.Plus there are so many great Rock n Roll legends white and black that could earn the title also.
Yes, the drum intro sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin- as it did when Little Richard recorded this song in 1956. You'll find that a lot of Led Zeppelin sounds like things that other people recorded first. Check out Jake Holmes version of Dazed And Confused- somehow recorded several years before Jimmy Page's name showed up in the songwriting credits. Or the Small Faces version of "You Need Loving" with the breakdown where Steve Marriott screams "woman...you ... need looooooove"- done in 1966.
good googly goo!!! Little Richard can get a room jumpin like no other!! with all the racism, bigotry, political agendas of conservs and librals....its just good hear music that makes people of all colors, races, nationalities get up, dance, have fun and just forget about everything else for a moment......rock on Richard - woooooooooo!!!!
Yes. He's the innovator, the originator and the architect of rock 'n roll. And even as an old man, he rocks better than anyone else. All hail the real king.
If it wasn't for the persecutions of black artists by the dominant whites (adult males) in the 50s (of course for 200 years), Chuck Berry and Little Richard would have overshadowed Elvis. Evil white adult males (combined with the members of the Police force) worried that Chuck Berry, a black man was very popular, rich and to end this they put him behind bars. Same time Little Richard already a superstar feared of same fate as Berry, went to Australia and retired. It wasn't Elvis' fault though.
@MRKOMIT- Weird comment. Elvis recorded in 54, before Chuck Berry or Little Richard ( Richard recorded in 51, but it was gospel) Those "Evil white adult males" banned Elvis records, his concerts were watched by the police in every city, and religious people said he was corrupting the youth. Chuck Berry had already served time for carjacking years before he ever recorded. He was arrested for violation of the Mann act years later. Little Richard quit Rock and Roll in 58 to get back to religion.
Love Little Richard! used to dance to his music back in the fifties and sixties when I was a kid an teenager! Now this IS music! Love ya, LR!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don´t think there is one king of rock and roll. Richard is an amazing artist and he will always be. Obviously, he knows all about rock and roll for a long time.
Easy there Tiger!Seems you have some race issue going on there-what with The Richard being "Your Boy" eh?Dont you know we live in more politically correct times-naughty youI Been watching Little Richard this afternoon on u-tube and there is no doubt,,that he was The Man.However there is only one person referred as The King around the world and he never needed to say it directly himself-he left that to the rest of the world to say - so no need to state it here.People - enjoy, as life is short !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Little Richard is the king of quiggers....that is queer nigger...LOL I am just kidding. Sam Phillips the man who Discovered Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, etc, said that it was actually Ike Turner who recorded the first Rock N Roll song.
your fuckin stupid brendonlvisfan!!! little richard made rock N roll no one even heard of fuckin elvis pressley....it was all about stupid (Pat Boon Sucked) and Little Richard(Rocked)
drummer- Little Richard recorded Tutti Frutti in 1955. Elvis recorded Thats All Right Mama and his Sun recordings in 54. Elvis was already touring the South making noise in 55. He was before Little Richard.
First it was Fats, he recorded his first 15 dec. 1949:" The Fat Man " and " Detroit City Blues. Then all the other came, and we got R&R,, first time the youngster got their own music ! Fats is still alive and kicing and r&R is here to stay !!
I love this song 'cause he sung it on my favorite TV show Full House. And the name of the episode where he guest starred in was Too Little Richard, Too Late.

@rockaboogieband you're right that you could say Elvis is the king of rock if you're just looking at the number records he sold, but what songs was he singing; Chuck Berry's, Little Richard's, Fats Domino's and so many other artists who could never have been as popular as Elvis in mainstream white supremest society, because they were black. So the record companies that owned their songs let white people use them for the royalties incidentally giving them the credit as well

because its the fact that your a fucking liar. Elvis aint got shit on these people.Elvis DID steal Rock and its common knowledge you moron. You trying to defend him does not make history any less true.
Funny how you try to say how great he is and how hes the king of something we created.
Just like whites are trying to say Em is the greatest rapper. White people never learn they do the same shit over and over. Trying to claim yourself as the gretest of shit we made up.

LOL white people always call racism when they cant prove shit.
Platinum albums dont mean shit. Em has a lot of platinum albums and guess what. MOST white people buy his albums just like they did elvis. White people as a majority always had the most income and it shows these are FACTS not racial BS that you are trying to claim. And as i said he stole it white people steal and try to claim themselves king. BS LR is the king you get over it...thieving bastards.

@Jacobrester Recorded by Lil Johnson in 1935 and Louis Jordan in 1939. But Richard made it his own by rocking it like a madman - his is rock 'n' roll! Elvis covered Tutti Frutti and it was terrible. I could hardly tell the difference between the version by Elvis and the Pat Boone version. I'm serious! It was quite a let down. But I still like Elvis, but he isn't the king. And to his credit, I read a quote where Elvis said something like: "I never said I was king - Little Richard is King"

@TonyBambino ppl like u can throw around a generic phrase like repressed homosexual this is part of your vocabulary influenced by tv dialogue, come up with something original. there is nothing evident about that, it may be something u suspect but more so intended as an insult which doesn't mean anything.

@JRussoBuffaloNY Yeah, it's generic (according to you) but what other definition would you use to describe a 30 year old dude who claims to be straight, yet makes comments out of the blue about not pleasing women...or men?

Uh, right. Except Elvis didn't continue to this day. I saw Little Richard last year, and the guy still rocks! Also, Little Richard and Chuck Berry wrote their own best songs. Elvis--not so much. I love me some Elvis, but I think his being white had a lot to do with his being crowned the King.

Of course Elvis is the one and only king.
Its funny that black people like to call themself kings. This Richard call himself king, and MJ made his friends call him king of pop. And funny as hell was it in London at the Brit Awards when MJ demanded to be introduced as king of pop, or he would not enter the stage. So they gave in and called him king of pop. Elvis did`nt want to be called king. But 99,9% of the world population see Elvis as the ONE AND ONLY KING! People dont even know Little R.

Yes, the drum intro sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin- as it did when Little Richard recorded this song in 1956. You'll find that a lot of Led Zeppelin sounds like things that other people recorded first. Check out Jake Holmes version of Dazed And Confused- somehow recorded several years before Jimmy Page's name showed up in the songwriting credits. Or the Small Faces version of "You Need Loving" with the breakdown where Steve Marriott screams "woman...you ... need looooooove"- done in 1966.

If it wasn't for the persecutions of black artists by the dominant whites (adult males) in the 50s (of course for 200 years), Chuck Berry and Little Richard would have overshadowed Elvis. Evil white adult males (combined with the members of the Police force) worried that Chuck Berry, a black man was very popular, rich and to end this they put him behind bars. Same time Little Richard already a superstar feared of same fate as Berry, went to Australia and retired. It wasn't Elvis' fault though.

@MRKOMIT- Weird comment. Elvis recorded in 54, before Chuck Berry or Little Richard ( Richard recorded in 51, but it was gospel) Those "Evil white adult males" banned Elvis records, his concerts were watched by the police in every city, and religious people said he was corrupting the youth. Chuck Berry had already served time for carjacking years before he ever recorded. He was arrested for violation of the Mann act years later. Little Richard quit Rock and Roll in 58 to get back to religion.
