  • Jazmaan, GREAT FIND, no need to eat his hat, good Lord, that's Hendrix!!

    Peterdchecksfield, it's my understanding that Lucille was performed (mimed?) on this episode of American Bandstand. (March 6, 1965)

    Perhaps your source would also have access to that film(?)

    If so, would love to see it.

    Thank you for uploading this performance of "It Ain't What You Do"!

  • And now its confirmed. Jimi's father Al mentions the Buckingham Palace hat in his biography!

  • HAH!!! That IS Jimi on the left in the background!!! He was is LR's band at this time. I froze it on the frame where its just the two guards and Jimi looks like he's about to bust out laughing!!

  • @srercrcr Yes it IS Little Richard!!!

  • NOT Little Richard.....a witness

  • @Urbanwarrior88 I don't think anyone's disputing that it's Little Richard...

  • it is little richard.i had asked him one nite when he was performig at the hotel casino in hampton beach.he laughed so hard and said ,,yes chield.oooww lord it was me.

  • My God, it is Jimi. Little Richard had a big influence on Jimi. It was said that his guitar sound was an effort to imitate Little Richards voicings.

  • @jazmaan

    Hendrix here? It's afact that Jimi was a fill-in with Richard's band, THe Upsetters, until he went full-time, DEc., 1964 or jan., 1965. He certainly could have been on Richard sessions and TV shows, etc., prior to that.

  • Little Richard's wigs always look like he got into a fight :)

  • @SimonW Little Richard could probably tell us...
