You can't help but laugh along with Little Richard. He was just so genuine and a character unique. RIP.
Rest in peace rock legend and one of the founding fathers of the genre!
You will never ever find another entertainer like this man again. Not only is he entertaining but he is outgoing and love what he does. He doesn't hold back. And what's more important, he appreciates the people who puts him there. We love you Little Richard and thank you so much for giving us joy with your music. 🙏😊❤
I 2nd that my good man‼🎶🎹
Little Richard speeded up the rhythm so fast Pat Boone could not get it to copy or steal it. 😂😂😂😂😂
RIP the architect of Rock n Roll!
He was indeed the Architect and the Crown King of Rock and Roll👑.
Richard wore his heart on his sleeve, which I appreciate.
Thank you Little Richard for your great and amazing talent#!We love you and miss you!RIP!Whoooooo!
I Loved to hear Little Richard.Sing and have fun I Loved to hear him sing now he is singing for the Lord in heaven .keep up the good work no matter what you was one of his children 🙏💔 Rest your soul
Lol at Little Richard R.I.P, LOVE The Supremes,all of them.
Shut up
The greatest part about seeing Little Richard induct people to the Hall of Fame is that you can't remember who was actually getting the award, haha!
That’s ok because whoever he was inducting owed it to him for paving the way for the music.
Otis was long gone, so that one doesn’t count and this came when Ballard was long gone, Diana as a member was long gone, this wasn’t the Supremes more like Mary Wilson, the last supreme🤷🏾♂️
Exactly! And "m living! None of them would have been there w/o him and Big Mama Thornton..none.
Rest in power Little Richard. Thank you for your talent
ROCK&ROLL in and Out. He Was Such a Character. Thanks Little Richard. R. I. P. So Real. Thanks.
Out of his mind...that's why I love him!
Being inducted by the king is no small honour. WOOOO!!!!!
Is it possible to not laugh along??? Lovely Little Richard!
R.I.P Little Richard
Your music and humour will be missed.♥️💋🌈🌞♥️💝🌹🌷🌸🌺⭐🌟🐋🐬🐳 Shut up..
Lil Richard was just himself. But I do think this video was an overkill because he was there to honor the Supremes. Not himself. He shouldn't talk more about himself since he was there to present the honoree of the Supremes.
He's funny, "I forgot what I was coming here for" hahahaha
AAAAAAH!!!!!!!! I CAN’T!!! HE GOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
He is the King and can say whatever he wants.
richard didn't induct the supremes..he inducted himself lol. god love him . hilarious. rip x
Yes, he came up during the rock n roll era of the 1950s. Later in life though, Little Richard.calmed down his drama for recognition. He became subtle. Finally. He always thought, that he was the King Of Rock n Roll. He was, indeed one of the founders. For certain.
Little Richard was consistently himself. They asked him because they already knew what he would do.
I loved this man. He was one of a kind.
I wonder how many people in the audience were thinking "I'll have some of what he had".
😂😂😂
Little Richard just couldn't help talking about himself but it's funny so it isnt appropriate.
You mean inappropriate?¿⁉️
He's such a character
RIP
Little Richard loves the spotlight. . .
Hr deserves the spot light he earned it....
Rock n roll wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for men like Little Richard.
Wonderful Mister Little Richard 😀
Little Richard made it a point to shine on Flo. That was real coming from him.
Lol he was so crazy
Rip little richard congrats supremes 💚
The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band (with Eddie Durham) performs at The Waldorf Astoria for The very first Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony inducting “Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, Ray Charles, James Brown, Sam Cooke and Jerry Lee Lewis; Non-Performer category were Sun Records founder Sam Phillips and seminal DJ Alan Freed; Early Influence category were blues icon Robert Johnson, country's Jimmie Rogers, and boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey. Columbia Records' legendary A&R man John Hammond. Eddie Durham recalled: “I played nine years [with Wynonie and Larry Darnell]. I booked us in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport, Georgia with three bands traveling. Little Richard’s five-piece band; my six-piece girl band, a shake-dancer named Sonya Millburn from Canada, Elaine who had the hit record, C.C. Williams and cuban Freddie Benito. Little Richard was just recording then and he got hit right after that tour. But I had Little Richard’s band on one side, my band on another side and the girls in the middle, maybe 17 or 18 pieces altogether. We played the opening together. Little Richard would do the blues and we’d open up altogether with it…feature some guys in my band and some girls on the saxes and then onto somebody else and in the end, Little Richard would come out and sing and we’d close the curtain, then open it back up with the girls band, and they’d do a specialty." DurhamJazz . com
He’s fucking amazing
I just love him, God Bless and God Speed to "The Architect of Rock & Roll"🎶🎶🎹🎶🎶The great Little Richard‼💟🌌
I guess back in the day a single camera guy stands looking up on stage. 😆😆
They wouldn't even set up the Mic for the Audience. It would have been alot better because he's so funny
Rip little Richard Mary Florence

Little Richard likes drawing so much attention to his abilities for which I distate.... I love him tho😊💗

Does he ever talk about The Supremes? lol
Where is Diana???? Why she didn´t attend?
She’d just had a baby, as well as a new marriage.. so she opted to remain at home
He's having a psychotic episode.
ARITANA DE OXÓSSI 💚💞🧚♀️🧚♂️
Why is Little Richard inducting the Supremes???
because at the time he was iconic - still is , obviously - and he was friends with Diana and Mary at the time. and Diana and Mary love him so someone had to induct them. Who else could have done it?
He loved the group and was close to Diana Ross and Mary Wilson. He had great influence on them and knew of their importance and influence on music.
MotownConnoisseur30 thanks. I Appreciate your response.
Live Life what? I was asking because I didn’t know why he was.
Idiot.
Both Diana and Mary have stated what an influence he was on them as a group. While many may not connected them musically, there was certain element of showmanship and style that can easily be drawn between the two. He started the flamboyant, extravagant, fashionable side of rock and the Supremes, of course, are known for their sequin and beaded gowns, the makeup, and big wigs. He even jokes in this about Diana Ross dressing like him for years. Plus he was a dear friend of the group and knew how important they were. It’s a funny thing about Rock. You don’t know who influenced who. And honestly it’s rather fitting that one of the architects of rock wanted to induct them. That speaks volumes to who the Supremes were.
Somebody pull him off that stage
Whew... Was he high here? my goodness.
No. The crowd just sucks...no sense of humor.
That's just little Richard. This is HIM all day long. Real and totally comfortable in his own skin.
@@roycey32 That's a beautiful thing, being cofotable with WHO U ARE...💕💕
He was high on Jesus!!!😁🙌🏻
Maybe. Maybe not. One thing is for certain, Little Richard was entertaining and charismatic.
Was he on something lol
He was addicted to cocaine.
Diana Ross didn’t even . Bother to show up for the group that made her
And Diana Ross???
*Where's Berry Gordy?* *If anyone should be on the dais, it's him!* *He created "The Primettes"*
(what people don't know is that 'Diane...no 'a' then'...wasn't even supposed to be in the Group! It was Ballard who 'pushed'
Berry into 'C'mon, she's got a great 'breathy, sultry voice' like Julie London and Peggy Lee...she sounds great with us!')
*Holland/Dozier/Holland should be there, along with the 'Motown Boys' that created and played the music for them*
*Without them, the 'Motown Era' would never have happened*
Berry Gordy didn't 'create' the Primettes, the Primes' manager did. Forgot the guy's name, though.....
@@BenDowdy *There was no 'Primettes' until Gordy 'dubbed them', so I can't see having a 'Manager' prior to that time...Berry Gordy WAS the 'Manager' for them (and others) for the time they were signed to 'Motown Records'*
( *Perhaps they sang at church functions and so on before Ross came-in...but Ross never sang professionally until Berry Gordy signed her* )
@@gerrynightingale9045 jeez...read Mary Wilson's book.
@@BenDowdy *Why?* *To what end?* *Does Wilson reveal they were 'Famous' before their time began with
Berry Gordy at 'Motown'*
*If I wrote something incorrect, THEN ENLIGHTEN ME AS TO THE FACTS!*
*And do it on your next (if any) reply...if you can*
*Don't write me any more BULLSHIT!*
Chile. Hush. Y’all keep trying to perpetuate these LIES
He is so high....hahahahaha....shut up !!!
The Jedi.
Job, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Isaiah.
The big four.
And Little Richard!
damn Richard, can you please talk about The Supremes, instead of yourself, even the audience was getting bored, nobody bust out laughing, when you said shut up, and all of the other antiques you do, to get humor, just like was about The Supremes, and you should have been supreme enough, to understand that, and honor it, instead of standing up there honoring yourself the whole time, on their night. 🤷🏻♂️ Also I would like to say,to the late Florence Ballard, and Mary Wilson, please rest in peace, your music, your work, and your legacy will never be forgotten, and it shall live on forever, and ever, you both are you dearly dearly dearly missed
She like to be recognized by white peers than black ones they should have waited til Diana could be there in person.sone folks take the diva thing a little to far
That is a straight up lie.
Mary Wilson is a Black Woman and knows it, and well respected by the Black Community
Say it again!
Ok....little Richard is quite the entertainer. However, he made the induction about him and stated 3 times he forgot what he was there for? Really? This was a time when Diana thought it was all about her and didn't want to share the stage or acknowledgement with anyone else. Mary was beautiful as usual and was gracious to have Florence's daughter present. The introduction could have been better, but it is what it is. RIP Richard.
That was never true that was a rumor that got pegged unfairly to Diana Ross most probably started by Mary Wilson , being who she was because Berry Gordy wanted Diana to lead because each of them had a chance to lead " they each lead & got nowhere until it was diana's turn to lead again & they where given the song "Where did Our Love Go " first given to the other stars who turned it down because they didn't like the song ,so it was given to the Supremes with Diana turn at lead they too didn't like the song . Berry said to them you'll can't turn down anything because you'll are at the bottom of the roster you have no one to pass it to which made Diana angry and she cried because they couldn't turn it down & Berry told them to get in there and record . And it is said that Diana tried to mess the song up trying to sing it nasally and high pitch. It is said Berry then asked the writers HDH do you think we need to stop ,HDH said no way she thinks she's messing up the song but she's singing it perfectly. It is said when she was finished Diana told HDH I hope you got what you were looking for and walked away . In the meantime the Supremes was nicknamed the no hit Supremes because they had no hits while they were on the Dick Clark Caravan review in concert.the Supremes would open the show because they were the no hits Supremes ,and in the meantime Motown released "Where Did Our Love Go" and it became and instant hit climbing up the billboard charts to number #1 not only did it become a hit but "Where Did Our Love Go" became a huge hit peaking at numberv#1 and staying there for 4"weeks . Berry quickly got the girl back into the studio to record the ensuing records making the Supremes having 5 consecutive number #1's Baby Love , Stop in The Name of Love ,Come See About Me ,and Back In My Arms Again. This happened with Diana Ross taking lead. Berry said you don't fix what's not broken. So he made her the permanent lead you see remember because they all at first took lead . But it was Diana Ross who broke through it was also Berry Gordy who made her to be permanent lead not Diana Ross herself though she's been tagged that unfairly that way. Diana also had a good speaking voice and she also had that persona you can dislike her for her abilities all you want but that's the truth of what happened . Berry also found that if the groups had a lead out front he could command a higher royalty for them and that's why he made billed the Supremes as Diana Ross and the Supremes ,as he also did the same for Smoky Robinson and the Miracles & Martha and the Vandallas etc. You see any of them bitching .they also got much larger pay for doing that & Diana even in the lead insisted the money be divided evenly . that's not the way it goes generally the lead aways makes more but Diana kept the pay evenly. Berry also would have them go in & to lay down new tracks right after having just done a concert they were tired but Diana would persevere and the other girls would tell Berry they're tired holla back next week cause they're tired , or I'm on vacation talk to me when I'm off vacation but Diana persevered . Finally Berry told Diana we have to wait if you were on your on own your new material could be out there we could be pushing your new single if you were on your own . It was Berry not Diana who pushed her out there he convinced Diana to go solo and so she did he explained to her that the other girls are showing they don't have the drive that you are showing and they're holding themselves and you back because the don't have the same drive as you do . And because of your determination and drive you could make it to the very top if you want to, and it was Berry Gordy who pushed Diana out into a solo career and the rest is history. Now that part you rearly hear. And also it was Diana's oldest daughter Rhonda who was on a Barbara Walters special with Diana Ross and she said she is the CEO of her mom's company (s) & it was her job to see after her mother's company s well being & her mother. And she said on national TV. to Mary w Wilson , you've been messing with my mother for before I was born said Rhonda ,so Rhonda said the next time you speak about my mother in a nagtive way Mary Wilson had better be able to prove it in court because Rhonda said Rhonda was gonna best her ass (Mary Wilson ) then haul Mary Wilson's ass in court and sue her ass off for defamation of character my mother won't but I will as head of my mother's company s . So I'll ask you why Haven you heard those same vicious lies , I'll tell you it's because that's exactly what they were lies because Rhonda served notice already be able to back your sh*t up or prepare to pay for defamation.that's why! I'm just sayin!!!

Good golly Ms.Molly, this is long Brain woods
Are right, he always does, and why everybody is saying R.I.P.Richard, I get all of that, but this was about The Supremes, and no one else, and when he got inducted, he would have had a fit, had other people see if they're talking about themselves, instead of him the whole time. I WILL ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO JUST SAY R.I.P. To both, Miss Florence Ballard, & Miss Mary Wilson, may you both rest inpeace, and your body of work, and legacy will never ever be forgotten, and show live on forever, and ever.
Im sorry, but I gotta call it like I see it. I work around a LOT of patients with bipolar disorder and other mental issues, not as severe. But everytime I see footage of Little Richard, later in his life and not when he was all "wigs and makeup and ability", I hear mania...like an UNHEALTHY mania...uncontrollable laughter and incredibly distracted and narcissistic. I love the guy..dont get me wrong. But with everything he went thru in life, from the severe abuse of a crazy Dad to all the homophobia he had to endure and navigate, I just believe he was bipolar. And Lord knows, he didnt ask for it..
He’s flamboyant and a Genius . He is HIM UNAPOLOGETICALLY. A Man of God
He want gay. He was flamboyant and married a woma and had a son
@@KBB4eva uh, Little Richard was gay. I don't need you to believe my opinion...thats what Little Richard said in a number of interviews...where he's spoken about being called a sissy. And he liked saying "don't call me no sissy!...call me a rich sissy!". So, again...dont believe me, BELIEVE HIM...he admitted that he was gay in his own book. And then he backpedaled on the subject, because THATS what sexually conflicted people so, sometimes.
Saying you're NOT gay, after you admit that you are, DOES NOT MAKE YOU STRAIGHT. And marrying a woman, does not make you straight, either. I realize there are many black men out here in the World, who are clutching their pearls and getting their bra straps all twisted, when someone like Richard is called gay...but that's more about THEIR OWN STRUGGLE WITH BEING GAY AND BLACK. So, in my opinion...he's was gay. You can like it or not like it. Yo are right about one thing, tho. He was a man who had a relationship with a higher power. And hopefully the Creator didnt mind Richard wearing lipstick, high heels and false eyelashes.
@@Lawrence_619 I knew Richard . He came back to God . Got married and had a son. Amd denounced homosexuality. He experimented like
Many rock stars did who also had many women amd wives . I could name
Names but it’s a private thing. . Richard was God fearing man. Period
@@KBB4eva you "knowing Richard", doesn't make him straight. So, when Richard admitted that he was gay, in his own book?...I believed him. You're trying too hard to defend him. And at the end of the day, nobody cares that he was gay....you need to focus on this man's musical legacy..not his sexual legacy.
as expected - no sign of ms ross! - that silly stuck-up diva has all but forgotten the band that made her famous. rip florence ballard, you deserved much much better! and rip little richard x
Diana Ross was classy and sophisticated. She outgrew Motown and people didn't understand it.
@@bohwe43 classy and sophisticated - she may be - BUT she has all but dismissed her Supremes legacy. When Motown 60 took place last year - Ms Ross turned up and sang a Billie Holliday song to Berry but didn't once acknowledge The Supremes. She was 10 years with Motown as a Supreme. I am sorry. I respect her artistically, but I do not respect her personality and attitude.
@ubiquity yes she is stuck up. and self centred. and moody. all the qualities i do not like in an artist.she preaches love and forgiveness but that's just her stage persona.
@@Dion_Mustard Me either.
@@bohwe43 ...Bohwe... No matter how rich and famous you become in life
You never forget the people that helped you get there. Ms Ross has tried her best to separate herself from her Motown days and people who played a BIG part in her success. To show up at the Motown 60th anniversary and not mention the Supremes
Or one of the founding members who played a big part in your succes, and she is sitting rigth in
The event, and you don't said thank you or mention her name is WRONG
On all levels
Whatever drugs this guy was on 😅🤣
He went on way too long about himself, it was not appropriate for this event. And he must have been high as a kite.
Obnoxious with a capital O!
Richard and his recycled tired lines drones on and on yawn.
What a shameful display. That was just awful.
Just like with the Otis Redding induction, he makes it all about himself. He turns himself into a silly little clown and tries to steal the spotlight. Almost everything he said was about himself, not The Supremes. Like Otis Redding, The Supremes deserved much better.
You're mad sensitive for no reason 💀💀💀
@MePernell I take it that you're not a fan of the great Little Richard..Shut Up !!!!!!
@Mrfixit Shut Up !!!!!
That's little Richard and he was entertaining and wonderful. Love you Richard! Rip.
the King can't do whatever the fuck he wants
