Well at least the kids at this show were moving! They're not the best dancers but who cares?! They look great specially the black-haired boy with the white turtle-neck doing something like air-drumming and the robot LOL
this is neither big mamma thorntons version or presley's,or anyone elses version,this is ,if you havent already noticed a version by little richard,.....hes the guy you can see singing on the screen!!!
Little Richard did a suberb job. But, he is doing a cover of "The Undisputed King of Rock" Elvis Presley who had (15) #1 Gold hit records on the US Billboard charts between 1956 - 1960. How many #1 hit records did Little Richard have during the same period??? Elvis' version was a cover of Freddie Bell & the Bellboys. The original version sung by Big Mama Thornton was about a man & was too raunchy.
Richard is the "King "and he's doing his thing on this one. Richard has a super dynamic range and voice. Boy is he killer!!! I wish someone could show some of the few TV shows he did live in the 1950's that would be the greatest.
Yes this was from a live TV in 1957 from I think Manchester/Birmingham.The backing group( The Kentish Wall Of Sound) The most Fabulous Sounds Incorporated.They had a uk hit in 1965 called william tell.I saw that TV Show Live in 57 I was eleven it knocked my socks off!
the guy with the turtle neck doing the robot is my uncle lmao woaaaahh

This is 100X better than that fat redneck Presley. It's actually the original version he's singing, from Big Mama Thornton.

@iVenge Right, it's the original version because Big Mama Thornton was singing about a man, and, of course, so is Little Richard.

@iVenge Elvis was no " fat redneck" when he recorded this song. Also this is the Elvis version, listen to the words.
You don't have a clue do you.

@27gunner This was made in Manchester around 1965 and does feature William Tell by Sounds Incorporated. It certainly wasn't 1957!!
