[bestboitellem]

whats with the fussin, Little Richard is great. Elvis is great. Chuck Berry is Great. The Beatles are great. end of story

[RGFoster1]

Little Richard created Elvis. Chuck Berry created The Beatles. The Beatles created everything else

[ekocentric]

@RGFoster1 Wow...no one could have put it better. When I send this video to my friend I am going to suggest that she read your comment.

[RGFoster1]

@ekocentric Much obliged haha

[ekocentric]

@RGFoster1 Thanx right back at ya....solid.

[MyDreamside]

elvis,chuck berry and little richard rule the 50's stop debating

[raven9157]

Lennon --- Why mention the Phoniest of all time on any post where Richard is featured???

[bazthehandyman]

Brill sound

[Doublefeature56]

Honky huh? Blacks have never been behind when it come to racism.

[kiityluv]

@Doublefeature56 You do realize that it was John lennon who used the word honky.

[verbusen]

Lennon talkin about the honkie's, boy he was so cool.

[misconduckt]

This is one of the best version of the songs, unfortunately many of these classic rock artists re-recorded their songs many times to the point where its hard to track down the original and best versions. Argh I'd rather hear the whole song than see this clip

[laremac]

Loved that sax since oh, 1956 I guess!

[enferno00]

You gotta love that black music.

[tonyrosam]

So this means that Little Richard is the God of rock n roll.

[enferno00]

Just be glad we gave you this music lol.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 I know elvis help push the black music because it was hard for others to get on the radio.That bm is nice well the older version of it.

[enferno00]

You can think different but that does not change how it came about the black folks know this oh and they use to call rock music in the south as ni**er music in the beginning.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 It is not complex at all lol not to me, and others who know the history john lennon or little richard.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 You still at it again lol i know the lennon elvis thing.I think i will take little richards word over you smh, and lennon was right at 1:23 and on.I think the black folks know the history of music they created.

[enferno00]

It also marked the point at which Freed's audience began to include an increasing number of whites - who subsequently heard Freed refer to rhythm & blues as "rock & roll."

Alan freed was hired by WINS radio in New York. The following January he held a landmark dance there, promoting black performers as rock & roll artists. Within a month, the music industry was advertising "rock & roll" records in the trade papers.

[enferno00]

ALAN FREED emcee a program of rhythm & blues records over WJW radio, and on July 11, 1951, calling himself "Moondog," Freed went on the air. At his "Moondog Coronation Ball" at the 10,000-capacity Cleveland Arena in March 1952, upwards of 20,000 fans (almost all black) crashed the gates, causing the dance to be cancelled. This is considered to be the first "rock" concert.

[enferno00]

bill and his boys were able to go on tv and all radio stations that the black folks could not so thats why you think he created rock and roll what a joke.Go ask the black americans about the rock and roll history i think a good portion of them know about it.Chuck was doing that music before your god elvis lol some folks are just silly.

[rbound827]

@enferno00 No one artist "created" RnR. But Bill Haley mixed Hillbilly and RnB years before Berry. Before that White artists were doing Hillbilly Boogie and Black artists were doing RnB/Blues. Haley recorded as early as 51, Elvis in 54, Berry and Richard in 55. When white hillbilly artists got hip to the black rhythm, Rock and Roll took off. Music isn't for one race only. Perhaps if it wasn't for Elvis, Richard and Berry may be as forgotten as Jordan or Harris, which is a shame in itself.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 Here we go again the music was around before haley you cannot debate this with black people.Oh little richard was doing the music in the late 40's lol have you listen to the video of little richard and lennon i think they know more about that than you true.This is like debating if their is life on pluto lol.The black folks know the history of the music they created they know more about it than you do.

[VladJ1992]

@enferno00 Are u saying that any black person automatically knows more about the history of rock and roll just because they are black?

[enferno00]

@VladJ1992 Noooooooooooooo.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 Rock and roll was a slang term by black americans for sex most older people know this but you never did but i have.If alan freed was alive he could tell you the same thing.Have you listen to what little richard said or john lennon? They know the history better than you hell they were alive during that time lol.This is not a debate smh most people including the beatles know this along with chuck berry lol.

[Fruscianteistheman]

a little confident to say that one man alone created rock and roll.

[MsTWEEKIE]

MS. THANG.

[March1921]

It's just fine for Lennon to say honkies stole rock music but were not allowed to say we took it from niggers.

[bellgardens53]

@March1921 Took the music from the black or 'niggers' as you put it? I thought that conversation was over a long time ago. Everyone took, used or 'stoled' INFLUENCES. Chuck for example liked country. Maybellene is a RockaBilly song for example. Black guys used Elvis moves and he got it from different sources. Just listen what a lots of black artists (and Muhammed Ali) said about Elvis (for example). Don't think JLL, Perkins, Holly, Cochran et al stole anything. They were originators..

[enferno00]

@March1921 what he said about them stealing black music he was calling the southern people honkies not white americans in general.

[Genessender]

Did Lennon just say "honkies"? Ever the radical...

[bellgardens53]

NO, he says: "Hunkies" referring to the male audience of Rockn'Roll, the tough guys, when they started to noticing it, Lennon says....You know what a a 'Hunk is I hope?

[Genessender]

Ah, no. Lennon's talking about when white people discovered RnR. Lennon says "honkies," i.e. white people. Why would he be talking about "hunks"?

[bellgardens53]

OK, you may be right after listening to it again. BUT what you mean or allude to, by the unfinished line, "EVER the radical..."?

[inkey2]

@Genessender : yeah, he definately said "honkeys"

[santamara]

Awesome video!!

Thank you and bigeezy for sharing!

[gknopp1]

what made this song so different was lee allens tenor sax.

[bellgardens53]

Lee Allen was just so great! Are u sure it's hik on this one?

[scorekeepn]

Little Richard did indeed create rock n roll

[rbound827]

Rock and Roll was around years before Richard and the other pioneers. The history of Rock and Roll is too long to discuss hear. Even Little Richard took his look and style from Esquerita.

[bellgardens53]

Absolutely right here my friend, Esquerita was the man, the name. Read Charles White "The life and Times of Little Richard - The Quasar of Rock" 1st published in 1984 and a good one.

[MrWaynejohn]

correction chuck berry did, he took r & b and mixed in hillbilly thus...rock and roll...futhermore, the main man and best rock & roller was elvis [ bitch all you want thats how it is and will be ]

[rbound827]

Bill Haley was mixing RB and Hillbilly years before Chuck Berry ever recorded. Haley and Presley both combined the two musical styles before Chuck Berry

[chowfun18]

@rbound827 Bill Haley was a novelty act and didn't have fuck to do with inventing shit. Elvis (Sam Phillips, really) was the one putting together organic rock n roll records in '54 - although what Junior Parker, Roy Brown etc were doing just prior basically was rock n roll, fully formed. Elvis mainly added his personal touch, not some grand country mixing agent.

[rbound827]

@chowfun18 So you're going to discredit Bill Haley and his Comets altogether?  Novelty or not, they were the band that lit the fuse years before Presley. Perhaps Haley didn't have the sex appeal that Elvis had, which is one of the main reasons for Elvis popularity. Elvis "personal" touch probably came from watching the Johnny Burnette Trio perform around Memphis, before Elvis ever stepped into Sun Studios.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 elvis and haley fans are delusional we all know the black americans created that music go ask chuck or little richard or other black artist form that time.They say richard and bo diddey created that.This is like debating if the moon is flat or round lol, and one more thing the term rock and roll was a slang term use by black americans smh at empty headed people.

[enferno00]

@rbound827 lol fool

[bellgardens53]

NO, he did NOT! NO single person created that music. Are you from Mars or what?

[MsTWEEKIE]

EXCEPT PROFANITIES AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS? JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. GOD IS OUR ONLY JUDGE.I LOVE YOU.................YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED. POOR THANG. TRACY CHAPMAN BECAME RICH AND FAMOUS . What have you done?

[EbonyBunny1]

@scorekeepn No he didn't. Little Richard copied everything he was from Equrita.

[jmarvilus]

@scorekeepn To settle the debate...Little Richard is the KING of Rock and Roll. Period.

[Carthsting]

@scorekeepn No, he didnt, but he played it damn well better then others, and he did it out loud so everyone heard.

[terrenalmx]

I like too much the intro on this song. I turn to happy when hear it.

[bellgardens53]

terren...same here. That intro is just a classic killer! And boy, does it make me happy? Ohhh...yeaaa! lol

[bellgardens53]

Strange I can't find "Slippin' and Slidin'" in full length by Little Richard. I'm talking about the '50s recording.

[imatwatinlove]

same here mate :(

[ensconse]

Have U heard the version on Modern 1030? Unbelievable!!

[bellgardens53]

I'm not sure. What I have is reissue albums of the original stuff from the '50s and that IS the best. Wonder if this is maybe NOT the best Richard ever did. And his band, "The Uppsetters", talk about backing, one of the absolutely best road bands in the '50s. Mm...also thinking about "The Girl Can't Help It", "Miss Ann" etc....he was super great in the '50s...after that, downhill with him and rnroll

[ensconse]

Downhill? Did you hear the '62 He Got What He Wanted? The '64 Goin' Home Tomorrow" & Lawdy Miss Clawdy? The '65 I Don't Know What You've Got (4:44)?

'66 - I Don't Want To Discuss it? Can I Count On you? '68? Freedom Blues '70?

Green Power '71? God's Beautiful City '79? Destruction '85? He did blues, soul, gospel, all convincingly. I'll say that he's been inconsistent with R & R since the '50s. But since then, he's been able to showcase many of his musical sides!

[56Johnny]

what is this movie

[thekillers1293]

John Lennon's Jukebox, a PBS documentary

[asianpussylicker]

wow. I hav great memories of my dad playing his in his car.

[Katchka1]

Awesome!

[JudeWest4868]

This was the v-e-r-y first 45rpm record I ever bought.

I still feel like a kid when I hear it!

[sweetysue10]

This is one of the classic R&R songs. Thanks much for the posting. But one big favor I ask--could you PLEASE post a video of this song without interruption?

[rubyrola1959]

Sweetysue10, download limewire if you don't have it already, and type in Little Richard, and look for the song there, I just downloaded it a few minutes ago. Thought I'd try to help out. : )

[sweetysue10]

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out---I had not hear of limewire before.

[789pequignot]

happy birthday little richard

[orduni90]

i remember this early in Casino!!

[gangerollo]

Wonder what Eddie Cochran 'stole'? Just a thing, check Don Robey ( black ) producer/rec company. That guy only liked one color and it was green. The thing is that the rec companies/producers paid many musicians only for that session and no royalites, be it white or black. Wonder what Carl, Billy Lee Riley at al 'stole'?

[ensconse]

Interesting clip of Classic song - nobody should even think of "covering" this one - or any of Richard's! well, that's extreme, but he is impossible not only to *duplicate* but to do a passable job on. 2 exceptions: Elvis & the Beatles on Long Tall Sally; Beatles on LR's Kansas City [actually not the L & S composition].

Elvis did a more respectful Sally in my opinion - McCartney was trying to outsing Richard.

[LiamAWade]

Sorry... but I tried...

[BluesInMySoul]

Otis Redding did a cover of this one. It sounds good too. But he did it the Otis way instead of imitating

[VTERRELL]

You thieving racist crackers steal music period!. You refuse to acknowledge the truth. The beatles were the first to publicly pay homage to R&B. The RESPONSE to racist treatment is RAGE not racism. Pat Boone stole songs and got air time because the white stations would not play Black music. Georgia Gibbs,the McGuire Sisters took Laverne Baker's & Ruth Brown's, music as their own. The truth really makes you people like what you are out and out PLAGERISTS! REPENT NOW! VIVA Little Richard!

[Ronnie7311]

You sound like a racist. Music is music, no one OWNS music it has been around forever. You are ignorant to think only black people can make music and anyone else who plays it is stealing it.

[ensconse]

R & R is "R & B" at heart, but white Country stars like Hank Williams & Bob Wills also had some influence on stars like Carl Perkins or Chuck Berry.

Pat Boone issued a published recording, did not "steal" it, though he initially sold more than Little Richard. Since he was incapable of imitating Richard, he merely embarrassed himself.

"Covers" were mainly the result of big companies legally issuing material originating with independents. Sometimes Black artists "covered" other Black artists.

[lamkscott]

so now we have it when did the white honkies notice it 1953 canada mike scott nanaimo bc canada.

[lamkscott]

dear ronnie,check the history of rock and roll and you will see little richard,little richard,little richard,little richard,and yes the white fucks stole it real fast because along came elvis and it was over for years for the greatest rock and roller in history .mike scott canada.

[Ronnie7311]

I can't stand how Little Richard says he started rock and roll, and white people took it from black people. He is such a racist.

[5inthehole]

What Hank Williams did for Country and Western music, so did Little Richard do for Rock n Roll...He put it on the map so all us teeny boppers could shake our asses blowing all our coin on vinyl. The "Real" king of Rock is the one Elvis impersonate...The Great Little Richard!!!

[Ronnie7311]

Elvis made it ok for whites to listen and like black music. So actually Elvis is the King.

[flyhead2]

Ronnie, what you say is true, although your conclusion is completely fucked. I have nothing against pre-army Elvis personally, but what this phenomonon says about the contemparary mentality of the US is revealing and disturbing. There was very little musical inovation involved, it was all about packaging. Little Richard IS a basket-case (as was Elvis in later years), but his MUSICAL significance dwarfs Elvis, as does Bill Broonzy, Jimmy Reid et al.

[ensconse]

Elvis' musical contribution is awesome. At 19 he understood syncopation and was able to make his "covers" more exciting and more appealing to the youth. [With all great Respect to Mr. Crudup, compare "My Baby Left Me"(s)]. He played four instruments; could sing convincingly in any genre. Was a Blues, Gospel, and Pop encyclopedia. Sure, he did his share of copying - but he copied with class and from the best.

His dynamic range was unbelevable, from a pure bass to a high falsetto.

[tallyrulz]

my fave rock 'n roll song eveer

[slobomotion]

Very good little clip.

[rocknrollcyberboy]

Love little richard:))))
