Elvis was marketed by the Colonel, this was Elvis's death, he wanted to get out from under him. Singing in Vegas was a big mistake, it killed him, the monotony of it, Litlle Richard had pure talent and guts, and has never lost his spirit. I saw Elvis in Vegas, he was bigger than life with his overblown orchestrations and Vegas endings.
Elvis was named the King of Rock & Roll, but Little Richard is the inventor of Rock & Roll, many black artists did not get recognition and black artist who recorded hit records got ripped off and white artists would record them. Little Richard came before Elvis. Me, I can remember at 12 years old rocking out to Little Richard, I loved it, still do today. He is a great artist.
He sings rock and roll like it is his first and last performance!!!!.....there is so much life in him. He is so infectious =D No wonder Elvis and The Beatles wanted to be him.
Look at him. All that enthusiasm as if he was singing it for the first time. What a pro. The Beatles borrowed so much in the early years from him and chuck Berry. They created their own distinctive style after that. This man has lived!
ELVIS IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL...LOL...HISTORY HAS SPOKEN IT IS FINAL...WRITE IT DOWN...LOOK IT UP...CRY ABOUT IT...SHOULD RICHARD HAVE GOTTEN MORE CREDIT SURE BUT WHAT YOU GOING TO DO GET REAL...LOL..ACCEPT IT LIVE WITH IT...GO LISTEN TO A GOOD ELVIS SONG AND CHILL OUT...LOL
To all you nutballs that think I am White,got news for you my Mother is Black and my Dad is White...Thats put right in the middle you white haters...LOL...you people need to get real.
@c101945 Little Richard wasnt robbed of anything. He was one of the top selling artists of the 50's earning 10,000 dollars a week. When Presley chose to do a Little Richard song on national television, it helped open the door for more Americans to Richard's music, and Richard was in more demand because of it- hes said so many times.
Little Richard is a Great Rock and roll legend.One of the Problems with him never recieving the fame he should have is because he goes on with too much nonesense.He has always wanted to be bigger than Elvis which will never happen.Also he screams so much and it take away from his singing...However he is one of the best.Can you Believe the man is 76 years old and still does live shows and looks the same as in this video.He should be given many more awards than he has ever got..Its just not right.
true besides one thing. The screaming is his signature thing that ADDS to songs. similar to mariah careys extremely high pitched notes she will randomely put into her songs.
@exercisesLukas Uhm, there is a big difference between Gospel and Rock 'n Roll. If you insist some people were earlier, you have to point to the blues legends.
@JumpingTomato actually music genres are made for marketing purposes. what i was saying was all the sounds he is making was done way before, even his whooo is so to say 'stollen'. i was watching a video one day gospel artists in 1920s and I heard exact the same whoo screams.. he got it from marion williams, to be exact. as artist he sumed great everything up, that's my point - like every singer. he's one of the best singers for me
@wty24 we got a whitey here trying to belittle Richard at the same time praising fat ass Elvis. In racist America, Little Richard didn't expect to get famous over night. But we all know that Blacks created every thing from dancing to blues to rock and roll.
When Elvis farted on the stage, white people were like "wow what a sweet sound" LOL. This is America for you. Shamelessly biased !!

This guy "rocks" or what? The only person in the world that sings "Long Tall Sally" even better than The Beatles! This should mean something. Glad you're still around Little Richard! Heil Heil Rock & Roll! Great vid.! Another 5 Star!
Yeah! His crazy-scary looking face and his song shows, that his a really King of the Music, King of Rock 'n Roll!!! A king has to give more than a normal man!!
Yeah, the guy is now 75 years old. He still manages to excite the fans who attend his performances, but they have been few and far between. Does anyone know when and where he will perform next? He is a true icon and I have always enjoyed him and his music.
He tours a lot over seas. You'll find him doing things around Ca all the time, he lives in LA as does his sister Gail Penniman who works at SAG she is the lady that got me back stage at the HOB to meet him 5 yrs ago his brother Markett was there also They were so nice to me LR asked where I was from when I told him he told me about some friends he had in Winston Salem NC he took his time and really talked to me b4 they left I'll never 4get how his sister sorta took me under her wing that night.
Wild & controlled at the same, it's Little Richard live in Sweden in 1992. Full version of Lucille, creative piano to the fore, well-miked (unlike many of his recordings).
(Probably) At age 59, he sings and plays terrifically. The tempo is a tad too fast and frantic for my exceptional taste, but still it's rill!!!
