Little Richard on Jimi Hendrix

[BikiniDeathSquad]

some uh uh uh heron

[Mrhello1ful]

hes a prick

[TheJabberwock]

little richard always sounded crazy to me growing up, but he's a damn genius!

[Intheflesh44]

"He'd give it all to you, and that's what you want, you want it all or none."

[rubbersoul553]

little richard = yoda

jimmy hendrix = luke (apprentice)

[rubbersoul553]

altought i love jimmy i probably must say that little richard > jimmy hendrix

[Maafa1619]

Why do guys talking about Jimi always sound like they wanted to blow him... and swallow? Bowie, Townshed, Clapton, Jeff Beck etc....

[AmiableOrchid]

I, for one, wanna be placed into the dipper...and poured back on the world.

[AmiableOrchid]

This man is CLEARLY high. lol

[twst1]

@AmiableOrchid you must be new to Little Richard

[manwithouthat44]

Im surprised nobody's already said it so I'll say it: "Cocaine's one hell of a drug"

[manwithouthat44]

why is everone hatin on this guy. Hes hilarious, hes a character, hes autentic and cool. What did you imagine great balls of fire man to be like, some dry slowpoke ? Look at him sitting on the piano XD I dont think hes acting, hes being real. Like he said in his own words, he took "stones, bricks of cocaine"

[Chikalita2]

How the HELL does he pronouce "Heroin"?

[passiveMenis]

@Chikalita2

That is a common pronunciation of heroin among the black community.

[bromesko]

clown

[bigleroygym]

i love this guy!

[Annamandabella]

This is the funniest thing I have EVER watched!

[KingToke79]

Lil Richard makes everything sound akward lol. he's the man though

[tybearxxxvii]

At 44s to 50s Little Richard makes it sound like Jimi rear ended him. LOL

[franklinrwful]

This guy is as camp as a row of tents.

[MrTheking19951]

watching snowflakes come down during this video just adds to the effect

[ensconse]

Richard raps....I wish he mentioned I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT, one of the records he made with Hendrix for Vee jay. [look only for the 4:44 version!].

[dimebagjimi]

What was this documentary called ?

[muffinma79]

True genius!

[elmer402]

This nigga is gay

[RayMagic12192]

@elmer402 duh lol

[mcul2112]

basically, he was right. Jimi had to go to fucking England, ie. get put in the dipper, to get his shit set up and then put out...ie. poured back on the world. "crazy people", "fools", and/or "clowns" by nature have a knack of nailing shit. think you just have to hear it...

[Rickd023]

I can see why Jimi hated this guy

[savemyplaylist]

My big foot is sticking straight up in my boot

[paytonbf1]

Little Richard is hillarious! LMAO

[YesImZane]

"at times he would make my big toe shoot up in my boot.."

[pinballwizard150]

Jimi was gonna take em higher than that!!... Purple Haze...

[poosie52]

"What Planet Is This (Guy?) - From"?

[CusterFlux]

Can you imagine being trapped on the tour bus with this guy? ... but since he gave Jimi a job, I'll let it slide ...

[rcrase]

Little Richard is bummed that jimi shunned him. Haha! Too bad, should have been cool with him, dumbass.

[rcrase]

@bolder2009 -maybe in your mind.

[Staziish]

Little Richard is fantastic !

[he2tazzy4u]

Lil Richard was high as hell! lmfao!

[MrGuitardude92]

1:31 to 1:35 has got to be the be the best thing i have ever heard.

[rcrase]

he treated jimi like shit. that's why nobody let him see jimi. jimi took the high road, and rose above little richard, leaving him in the dust, and in his wake. rip jimi.

[bolder2009]

@rcrase Little Richard is the daddy even if the children grow taller and leave home.

[DCOLLINS21]

Lol "He make my big toe shoot up N my boot"

[DCOLLINS21]

Lol Ooo mann! Big ups to Little Richard Mr.RockNRoll himself He needs a reality show so the real story can B told rite

[Cincinnatus1869]

best interview of all time. Sumbitch is CRAZY

[mikedrawls41]

I think from this video, we can conclude WHYYY they never let him see Jimi...

[musicdiehard]

@mikedrawls41 LOL!!!!!!! What did I do???????

[MicrowaveWalrus]

@mikedrawls41 ROFLMAO

[ctr1969]

From my view...what Little Richard meant was...people don't appreciate the genius and talent that God gives a individual until that individual is called by God to come back home. And then, when that void is here on earth, people look back and realize what true talent and vision that person really was. Jimi was way ahead of his time when he was alive. It took his death for people to understand his vision.

[RubinMusician]

and I was like Whyyyyyyyyyyy? What did ah doooooooooo?

[TinaRocks19]

This is the single greatest interview of all time.

[musicdiehard]

I love this man!!!!!!!! The greatest inventor!!!!!! do your research

[professionaltroller1]

I like little richard. but i have read the jimi hendrix biographie and that said that jimi used to play for little richard before he was famous at this time he was very poor and little richard was suposed to give him 1000$ for playing with him but never pay him. (sorry for my bad english)

[Annamandabella]

@professionaltroller1 I remember something similar to this that also mentioned he had kicked Hendrix off of his tour bus and left him destitute.

[Hoopermazing]

Dude is a clown... but since he basically invented rock & roll, I'll let it slide.

[RayHolly69]

@Hoopermazing fuck you

[RayMagic12192]

@Hoopermazing and chuck berry

[gronlaf]

@Hoopermazing YEP HE DAMN SURE DID !!!!

[dougnice67]

@Hoopermazing Right! LMAO! I met him once in a Waffle House in Ga

[RisenPhoenix68]

What the hell is Richie sayin'?

[MiBizzuh]

Jimi be playin dat roc n roll, jdfjfhufi... WOOOOOOO! Woooooo! Wooooooooooo! Wooooo! He did it sooo goooooud! Lmmfao. I luh dis

[amnesh]

This is truly an interview that has to be watched while on drugs.

[Heisenberg85]

It doesnt get better than this

[Lukka1908]

Is he gay?

[PatrickEllisTx]

@Lukka1908 Yes very much so.

[MsTemptist]

I wish Little Richard was my father instead of the woman beating, drunk, washed up pimp I have

[pacecanshuffle]

got mah big toe shoot up in my boot xD

[Loumademe]

Big dipper? LOL Don't dig it but Little Richard was fabulous. Thanks.

[jayrock1987]

Shit everyone use drugs when doing music shit even the beatles did lol I guess thats what made the music so good lol..

[Whitebrowpriest]

Tutti "Frutti"!!!!!! 0.o

[treemonisha2006]

Jimi Hendrix's talent was so powerful and so profound that people can see the hand of God in it. 

[treemonisha2006]

He wasn't high he was just giving his philosophy on Jimi Hendrix and his style and how he impacted others

[treemonisha2006]

He wasn't high he was just giving his philosophy on Jimi Hendrix or his style and how he impacted others

[TheSyrupMan]

is he gay? serious question 

[fuzzface100]

@TheSyrupMan Yes!

[muffinma79]

@TheSyrupMan does it matter?

[TheSyrupMan]

@muffinma79 no nothing matters to me, just curious because old people are always saying stuff like "man im from the old school im not use to all gay stuff" as if time period had anything to do with it

[classsclownnn]

Can you imagine hearing his views on politics?

[m0927dub]

@classsclownnn wouldn't be all that different from the Republican debates...

[classsclownnn]

@m0927dub indeed!

[savethedowns]

i love me some richard but....dam! how did he live so long on that stuff

[ErsiNur1]

heroin you got to love the way he says it.

[MrKmo51]

The real King of Rock and Roll, not that sloppy lipped, suicidal, junkie truck driver from Memphis.

[SaypheZonE]

and that's what you want..YOU WANT IT ALL OR NONE!

[LBJTV]

he is as high as a kite here

[Alejandro4891]

little richard is great.

[Nero111417]

THE DIPPER!

[MetalHelen376]

He's on more than just Jimi Hendrix. Amiright?

[darthesgoobis123]

@MetalHelen376 huh?

[josh16462]

heriiiinnnn!!



[HAMizational]

He's talkin bowt thee lord while he's obviously on thee other team!!

[Batistamaniac1]

Little Richard looked like he just came outta a genie lamp..goodness gracious sake alive!

[kevinherbert]

Prince IS Little Richard....

[Coppulor]

@kevinherbert

ROFL!!! hilarious

[lightskinboi06]

This interview is so awesome! He started off strong, but then he started just rambling on to the point where I was like "what the hell is he talking about?" But that's what I like about this Little Richard: he's very outlandish and doesn't care about it. Even to this day. Forgot to mentioned he helped pioneered rock n' roll. But man, are his interviews great or what?

[gronlaf]

people laugh at little richard but he is part responsible for the roots of rock -n- roll, him and chuck berry, ike turner, bo didley....look up the real history people.

[ericjungleboy]

Little Richard, Jimi, Rick James, Prince: it's a tradition. The glittery, glamorous singing pimp tradition.

[jayqueezy24]

@ericjungleboy

yep...now c-lo green hoppin on the train, and I could see chris brown turnin out like that in a couple years

[kngscb]

@ericjungleboy ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

[FrequentlyFried]

lmao this is the best.."he didn't mind lookin' freaky...like I don't mind...because I was doin it before he was." lol ..gotta love the back handed compliments. haha HIGHER THAN THAT! lol some HERROIN.. I used to say WHY!!? lol so comical, hmm I wonder why..Hendrix would outstage him so he held him back and then when Hendrix got famous he tried to act like they were buddys..you can clearly tell he knows why and is just playing dumb..

[laurierken]

God I love this man. This, is the guy that made rock and roll what it is. That voice. That style, that swagger.... I hope he lives forever.

[mugwamp4]

fucking coked uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppp­pppppppppppppppppp man..

[MiBizzuh]

whyyyyyyy! Wat did i DU! This is funnnnnnnnnY!

[joli202]

LMAO @ "great recompense of reward my Lawd" come again sir?

[mlortime]

1:35 "why what did i DO?!?!?" how about not paying him, getting into fights with him, not letting him play his guitar loud enough so people could hear it, and him having to fake who he was just to be with you. THATS why.

[Funkdogg]

@mlortime yeah! but i wonder what if he did let him.

these stars never wanna be outshined by a band member. just like james brown did not wanted to be outshined by bootsy collins

[aquinomelissa]

this is the best video on the internet

[slockyboy]

I Don't know about you guys but...I'm confused. I don't know what the F*&k Little Richard is talking about. Can some explain it?LOLOLOLOL. This is Priceless!!!

[MrSandman382]

Oh i'm sorry .... I DONT SPEAK JIVE !

[disda1n]

I like how it ends with that opening riff to Like a Rolling Stone, just perfect :D

[VZ935]

"At time he used to make my big toe shoot up in my boot" LMAO!!

[experienceads]

Classic!!

[LadyMooreJazz]

ROTFLMBO @ Big toe shooting up in the boot!! Only Richard could come up with that one!

[SaypheZonE]

you want it all or none! lol

[Bpmike99]

He has been crazy all his life. I love how he always claims to be better then everyone else. But I do agree with most of the comments on this page. His wild ways did remind me of the artist Prince. He does seem like he is not all there and maybe did a little too much drugs; however, I can see how he was one of the key people who developed Rock-n-Roll. His style and rhythms did influence a lot of artist after him in a way.

[tarantism]

this shit just got real

[steviesoco]

I'll have whatever he's having.

[Azraelbaxtalo]

LIl Richard was a big influence to all artists that came after him!! He should have been rewarded more for his major influence and contributions to Rock and Roll!!

[ugmodude]

cocaine's a powerful drug...

[BlaccBoii]

Lmaoooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[smoluk1]

WOOOOOO! WOOOOOO !WOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Tayshaun100]

Back in February my band and i played a tribute to jimi hendrix in front of our entire high school. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

[BBQFanNo1]

Jimi will always be my favorite guitarist.

[cukistcrispeque]

"He just had that thang a-rumpin' and tumpin' all up undah my toes."

"It'll take you higher than hair-oh-rin..."

Haha yes. I love Little Richard.

[Jackiesstash08]

Didn't little Richard and the crew leave Jimi behind in some town? Jimi was stranded and potless.

[Dunham617]

Richard treated jimi like dirt...

[DuDezInBoredom]

"or some hair run" lmao

[buckbuck666]

uh gosh lil richard jimi said you ripped him off and didnt pay him on time when he played in your band sounds like maybe your full of shit its easy to to talk about dead people  isnt it?

[GODSELF2012]

" He didnt mind lookin freaky, like I dont mind " LMAO

[Oallright]

"He had that thing just rumpin' and tumpin' all up under my toes." Yes.

[rosskstar]

was LR a pole smoker? i mean why'd they not let LR get near Jimi after JH "made it"? maybe LR tried to make a move and smoke some LJ?

[TheSonny92110]

little Richard and Jimi both rocked but Jimi was the one who played at woodstock...

[aaronamccoy]

such a queen but i dig it

[0Chaxiee]

WURRGHHWURRGHWUURRGHWUGHH

[kyle17428]

i know theres no way this guy has the energy to act this way all the time, he just talks like this for show.

[IAmTheWoodenDoors]

What's that line? Something about there being a fine line between genius and insanity?

[emperorof420]

now i see where hendrix got druged up from

[DirkStrauss]

Little Richard has the perfect name...... with the operative word being "Little". Hendrix was a god among men. So when Little Richard tried extorting Hendrix, Jimi gave him the finger. 100's of years from now, Hendrix's memory will still be revered while loser wannabe's like Little Richard will disappear into oblivion.

[Mr2009Truth]

@DirkStrauss loser wannabe is the exact OPPOSITE of what LR is. He's the ARCHITECT of ROCK 'N' ROLL! Without Richard to invent rock, there'd never have been a Hendrix. So there. Not knocking Jimi, he was swell. But Richard is the King of Rock, whether you like him or not is unimportant. As long as the human race survives, Little Richard will be remembered - because he ushered in the dawn of ROCK with "a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam­-boom!" and without him there's no high energy passionate rock.

[chjohnst]

@Mr2009Truth blasphemy dude

[LinkBulletBill]

@DirkStrauss

You're REALLY intelligent... -.-

[Aderemi111]

@DirkStrauss i don't think he was a loser wanna-be tho, he's pretty talented

[flaxonx3]

@DirkStrauss What a stupid comment, Little Richard was one of the key components in the development of rock. His voice and rhythms influenced so much that followed from The Beatles, Hendrix, heavy metal, David Bowie who cites him as the reason he got into music, glam rock, even Michael Jackson's vocal gymnastics owe a huge debt to LR. I can assure you without LR, rock music wouldn't have been half the force it was and music historians will still acknowledge that in 100 years.

[CCSofChocolatesvill]

I wanna be placed in tha dippoir and powed bak on da world.

[tonymontana1974]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o

[Fooblestheclown]

This is wonderful!

[davidvirgodc]

You know what?? does anybody notice how much Prince mimicked Jimi Hendrix. Almost ver betam

[MrBl0nd3]

i reckon why they wouldnt let little richard see hendrix backstage was because when hendrix was with little richard, little richard used to make sexual remarks to him and make him feel uncomfortable

[universalradio]

@MrBl0nd3 i reckon you're a retarded homophobe.

[pololopo23]

All the musicians back in the days seemed to be high all the time.

[MrGaultstein]

@pololopo23 They were :)

[mysticjaz]

If Elvis was the King of Rock & Roll, Little Richard was the Queen!!

[nirvanafighters1224]

Hair-on?

[MadamFlipFlop]

Little Richard is a strange man....strange

[jm31563]

@MadamFlipFlop

lol. A freak, he is.

[LBJTV]

@jm31563 That's what snorting cocaine 5mins before the interview does to you..

[dreaddy3able]

so be it, if your nephew can do the hendrix thing I hope to see him on you tube one day

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Read somewhere that Richard got mad at Jimi for emulating him it he said to the effect of "Emulation is a form a flattery and Im flattered but your not going to steal my thunder"

[IGotALetterFromMe]

They wouldn't let him come back.lol

[941jack]

i love how mental this man is :D absolutley fantastic guy

[HypeRhymz]

does anybody feel that little richards style had an affect on Prince's style of dress.

[ropeburne99]

@HypeRhymz Prince use to open up concerts for little richard way back in the day

[HypeRhymz]

@ropeburne99 really ? where can i find that? thats cool

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@HypeRhymz That's nothing new. Even David Bowie was influenced by Little Richard's style! Richard took the fop look to whole new level and influenced many musicians.

[meeces13]

@HypeRhymz duh

[fatchants]

@HypeRhymz oh I think Prince would give him that in a heart beat. Prince wasn't biting Little Richard it was

more a gesture of total respect, I'm sure. toward both him and Jimi.

[musiqtube1]

@HypeRhymz i do. love them both.

[GhostyToasty27]

some herr-onn

[dreaddy3able]

I also feel Little Richard had a crush on Hendrix but I also feel he was surprised Hendrix was no longer a backup man and became the worlds greatest guitarist

[scott80100]

@dreaddy3able thats opinion, my 9 year old nephew can play jimmi hendrix better than Jimi hendrix, the only thing jimi hendrix did that was great was being a black man in that time period playing rock n roll

[longview1987]

@scott80100 r u high? joking? if u can't see that Hendrix was (at the very least) a great guitar player than u should never give ur opinion on music ever again, cuz u know nothing

[scott80100]

@longview1987 he was ok, but he answers to Eddie Van Halen, if the drugs hadnt killed him, trying to play "Eruption" would have... and yes i got enough drugs in me to kill a bull elephant, The main question here is Where can i get some more?

[Exeliz]

@scott80100 EVH is a god in his own right, but Jimi don't answer to nobody. EVH came along 10 years after Hendrix was already done blowing everyones mind, and he couldn't blow the roof off the place like Hendrix could. There's a huge gap in soul between the two, EVH has got some serious soul, but nobody can touch Hendrix's. If you don't believe me, ask Eric Clapton.

[Exeliz]

@scott80100 youre crazy man.

[Somai82]

@scott80100 You're nephew copied Hendrix dumb fuck, he didn't created it out of thin air.

[Gypsyblood7]

little richard your nuts man..but your fuckin awesome.

ehhh. Little Richard is full of shit......
