A very modest grave for a man of his stature, pioneer of rock n roll, without Little Richard there would be no Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. Great video as always Scott.
@@marvinpage8978 I didn't say he was broke fella, all I'm saying is it's a very modest grave for a man of his standing, which is not a bad thing, he was clearly a modest humble man & didn't want anything flamboyant.
I was told he did have a will. He was very Humble. I was told he didn't want nothing to flashy or fancy. He'd did all that and put all that material stuff behind. He just wanted to make it to Heaven. I'm sure he was in a lot of pain, Bone cancer is very painful. My best friend mother had Bone cancer and she had to be careful how she touched her, her Bones got so Brittle that the slightest pressure and one of her Bones would Break. Little Richard did manage to live a good life, Traveling, all over. He lived his life. I guess by the time he was diagnosed. All he wanted was to get his life right. He wanted to Go to Heaven. Material things no longer mattered. He just wanted his soul to be right with God. I think he did that. I truly believe all was well with his soul. I think his final wishes was carried out. I'm told he chose the place he wanted to be buried. To me that speak volumes about what was important to him in the end. You can't take it with you. Our bodies are just vessels for our soul. Once we take our last breath we don't need these bodies no more. Our spirit, the soul goes back to our Heavenly Father of Most High that created it. I Believe that. I serve a just and forgiving God. I Believe when my time comes I'll be with my Lord and Savior. Father God of most high is the judge. No matter what man think. Father God has the last word. John 3:16 matters to me and I believe it. I'm sure Little Richard. Did what he needed to do to make sure his soul went back to Father God that created it.once he has forgiven us. It's done. Love,respect, and positivity always. Vj.
Had the pleasure of meeting Lil Richard in New Orleans at Jazz Fest. That man was so full of energy and lit up that stage. Sad to see the greats leaving us, but can you imagine the music the angels in heaven get to hear!
I grew up listening to Little Richard's music on TV and seeing him on various talk shows. He was dynamic, amazing, hilarious and a musical genius. So happy to hear he lived a full life and left us at 87 yrs. RIP Little Richard thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I always thought that celebs that decided on a small "non-flashy" grave just wanted something more true to themselves. Their careers were "jobs", but at the end of the day they are just normal people. Sometimes less is more. Just my thoughts. Love your channel !!
Some of my Classmates from Chicago are also Buried there. It's a Seventh Day Adventist Cemetary. A lot of them received their Education there along with Little Richard at Oakwood University
His headstone is beautiful, It is not how big the headstone is it is the thought that counts.. I am glad he has one because some people do not have any, REST WELL LITTLE RICHARD IN PARADISE.
You know what sometimes just having a small simple grave can still be wonderful because it just shows how even though they are famous they still were down to earth and didnt let it get to thier head and only cared more about the simple things in life
This man IS THE ARCHITECT of Rock & Roll!!! Undeniable. The THEORY, the rythym, the theme, the STYLE. HE CREATED IT AND EVERYONE COPIED IT. AND he got no credit for it. Damned shame. Lord Deth has spoken...
Thanks for showing Little Richard's grave. I'm a child of the 50s so I know of Little Richard very well. I'm a big Elvis fan, as well, and Elvis mentioned Little Richard a number of times!! Little Richard was one of a kind that's for sure! Love your videos, Scott. Keep up the good work!
I also think there are many reasons why certain celebrities don't have fancy grave sites and yes, most of us are surprised when some big global superstar has a simple grave. At the end of the day, it is the "fans" who see them that way, they probably just saw themselves as who they were. Just someone who was successful in their job. Great video :)
He made it to 2020 at 87 I can't believe it. I knew about him my whole life My nephew was a Richard also I always thought about Lil Richard when he came around. Thankyou Scott ♡ RIP Little Richard. You are remembered 👑🌟
My grandmother who is now 91 grew up with Little Richard and went to the same church as he did in Georgia. She said he had the makings of a star even then before becoming famous. Great video. Fascinating man. Total respect for what he accomplished. RIP
If the delivery truck driver only thought..."maybe he's hungry" he would still be alive and there's no telling how that small act of kindness could've affected his life. Rest in heavenly peace Mustafa... You deserved so much better than that. 💐💝🥺
I saw Little Richard in person, not at a show, but as a passenger in coach when I was flying from Atlanta to LAX on Delta. He got on board and was his usual "attention getting self". Hard not to know who he was. His music was great. 87 with his different life style habits certainly was a milestone. So sar for the 16 year old to be killed for a sandwich and then the person who shot him didn't even serve the 20 years. RIP to both the 16 year old teenager and Little Richard.
R.I.P Little Richard. You were a Great one. That is a total shame that boy was killed for stealing a lunchbox. What a Travesty of Justice. R.I.P Mustafa. Great video Scott💖🙏
Many of his first hits were played by my parents when I was a child. He was always on the radio. Huge loss to the industry. I was surprised to read he passed in Tullahoma TN so near my home near Chattanooga
With a lot of early rock pioneers, Little Richard lost momentum when he abandoned rock n roll for religious music at the height of his fame. There is no doubt he highly influenced Elvis and The Beatles. Knowing that, part of Little Richard's legacy is his good natured humor. He wasn't afraid to be who he was. The tiny headstone seemed to show that Little Richard knew that the focus is on God, not a celebration of stardom, influence or fame. RIP Little Richard.
I remember him from my childhood. Seen him on Sesame Street I do remember lol but my Dad showed Me the Biopic they made and Dad was a fan of His and would blast his music round the house lol he was very inspiring for a kid who wanted to be a Famous Singer lol R.I.P. Little Richard!
Great tribute Scott. Little Richard was the true King of Rock and Roll. He transended genres. He was so great. God Bless Little Richard. Great tribute to Mustafa as well.
Richard was a pioneer! I loved his energy yes he was flamboyant and fun!😃 Its hard to believe how different things were back then when he started. In my humble opinion I wish he had a larger headstone!💜Thanks Scott👍
I was born in Macon GA.. I know the neighborhood. He was around Grannie age. They all knew him. Macon did him wrong by chasing him out if town. But he was as proud of being from Macon GA as we all are as having him born here. He did give back, he did come back gave money to the city. I'm so happy his home was saved. They did a great job. Macon has a lot of history.it is redding, Little Richard, James Brown used to hang out in our neighborhood . But Macon is very proud that Little Richard was born here. Watching him on TV was fun, had he not left, he might not be the person he was. No he was not conceited, he was convinced. He did lead the path for a lot to follow . I often go back home, visit the neighborhood. Family is still there. I'm positive Little Richard made it. That God welcomed him with open arms. Rejoice in paradise Little Richard. We will never forget you, we will always love you. Peace, love,light, Respect and positivity always. Vee j and family. And for those who don't care, Shut Up.
One of the greatest characters in rock n roll a lovely guy a brilliant showman rocknròll would never have been the same without him Definatly one of three Kings alongside Fays Dominoe and Chuck Berry RIP guys gods a lucky guy
Little Richard !! Wooooohhhhhhoooo - “shut up” - new to your channel - I am enjoying catching up on your videos :) thanks for your content you are doing a wonderful job !! Glad I found you 😉
Little Richard's was just pure fun!!! ... Growing up in Harlem New York. He was a very big part of the music scene for so many years once again thank you for another wonderful tribute. 🌹💂🏽🌹
Awesome Video, I loved Little Richard's Music & his personality, he was wild man, but humble at the same time. He lived a long life despite his struggles with drugs & alcohol. RIP Little Richard 🙏🕊️🕊️
I live outside of Huntsville and we All we So Very Proud he was buried here and he was Very Religious and you know "We" Southerners are know to be Smack Dab in the middle of The Bible Belt!! We Love You little Richard Rest In Peace! Thank You Scott for Covering this Story.
I'M A CHILD OF THE EARLY 70'S SO I GREW LISTENING TO HIM & SEEING HIM MAKING CAMEOS / GUEST APPEARANCES ON MOVIES & TELEVISION I LOVED HIM IN WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE I'VE ALSO WATCHED HIS DOCUMENTARY & BIOS VERY TALENTED SPOKE HIS TRUTH & STOOD HIS GROUND TRANSPARENCY IS EVERYTHING R.I.H.P MR PENNIMAN
I discovered Little Richard in the 80's in comedies & talk shows. A modest tombstone but he was not modest which made him awesome. You made great points regarding why tombstones are not what we expect from celebrities. Its a personal choice such as choosing a burial versus cremation. That poor 16 year old child was probably hungry & for him to pass away because of that is a disgrace. The judicial system is a disgrace as well. Every state is different when it comes to the legal system which is scary. Very nice of you to include this child in this video
Scott you are the best RUclips tour guide and your unbiased Approach to everything that you do makes you worth the man you are true to your word my brother !!!!! I am a huge fan thank you so much brother 🙏🏽
Little Richard was also in the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills he was great in it in 2003 he was at the Long Beach Gay and pride festival met him in person there he was cool
Hey Scott!!!! I Loved LiL Richard. A great pioneer of Rock ‘n Roll. Another great artist gone too soon. Merry X-mas to you & your family & everyone on your channel😀
Great video Scott! It feels like Little Richard has been around forever. When he passed I was so shocked. He truly was the architect of rock and roll. It's so sad about the 16 year old killed for a lunchbox and the killer only got 5 years. It's just not right. Rest in Peace to Little Richard and to the young man ❤
I remember listening to old records belonging to my parents and Little Richard was one of them. He was an amazing talent who will never be forgotten. Continue to rest in eternal peace. Shut up!
For some reason, other RUclipsrs have videos where you skip some weeks uploads or wait to watch content more towards what YOU like. With your content Scott, I'm here every video. Love your stuff man, keep up the GREAT work my dude! Your efforts are not going to waste. BTW: my earliest memories of him were watching him on 'Full House' cause he guest-starred as the uncle or something of one of the main character's friends. I loved it. Always stands out for me in my mind as one of the earliest memories. His music was timeless, and always present in my life!
@@SCOTTONTAPE Don't mention it! You inspired the words. I'm a truth teller, truth sayer! Hope we get to bump into each other one day, good people gotta stick together.
@@SCOTTONTAPE , great job as always. I used to live in Huntsville Alabama just up the street from Oakwood College many years ago. I also hope that you got a chance to enjoy some great food while in Huntsville Al. "Alabama the Beautiful".
We were members of the same church at the time of his death. He would come late and leave early as he did not want to disturb his worship experience. He was the sweetest man.
I live in Huntsville. My husband and I visit Little Richard's grave periodically, and leave flowers. The bouquet that kept falling over was one I had brought (thank you for straightening it). It looks like someone moved it from the original spot, probably to make room for the wreath. The wreath is definitely a recent addition, and was not there right after the funeral. At that time, as per usual after a burial, many standing wreaths were left and there were flowers strewn across the grave. Over time, these gradually disappeared (not sure if people took them, or the cemetery eventually discarded them). He did not have a headstone at all for over a year. There was just a little metal placard which someone eventually took. After that, for a long time there was nothing at all to mark the grave. Fans would create signs and place there. I assumed at some point his family would have a headstone placed there, but it takes time and money to have it done. I am glad he now has a permanent stone in place.
I went to Nashville in 2009 and an ambulance came for him. I stayed at the hotel across the stadium there where they do concerts. I remember him vividly.
Always enjoy your uploads Scott and this installment was no exception. I will never forget Little Richard performing for Muhammad Ali's 50th birthday celebration. When he came out Ali stood up, pointed at Little Richard and yelled "The King"!!! Ali was not mic'ed, so LR pointed his mic at Ali and said, "You can say that again baby." ...Ali again (this time in the mic) pointed and yelled, "The King"!!! Richard Penniman, had he been born in a different time, would've undoubtedly received the recognition he so richly deserved. The man was an extreme talent and a true trailblazer if ever there was one. May he and the young black boy both rest in the sweetest of peace. Thank you Scott for placing his flowers back in the vase. Your loving, compassionate nature is so very evident. ...and admirable. Take good care. Fans, Austin & Matthew in Clearwater, Florida USA
Hey Scott!!!... I was just wondering what was the song and artist at the beginning of this video?.. As u were entering the cemetary!!!.... Thanks...keep up with the great videos!!!.. u top them all buddy!!!... Especially recognizing the young man too in the video!!!... Very moving!!!!...
Ooh... I'm sorry I missed that Scott!!!!!... Thanks a million bud!!!!.. And keep up with the great vids!!!!... Your awesone!!!.. Best...Hands down!!!.. Merry Christmas buddy!!!!
My mom absolutely loved Little Richard. She was born the same year he was. She loved his music and the movies he was in. He was comical. I grew up listening and watching Little Richard all my life.
I was born in Huntsville and my mother said she saw him several times in his pink Cadillac....so I saw Richard about half a dozen times but cant remember because I was younger than 2 in 57 and 58...damn...just a little personal story
I loved Little Richard. His music was great. I loved his guest appearances. While he was alive I watched some of his church services. I was saddened to hear that he passed.
Great tribute Scott, informative and respectful. I grew up on Little Richard's music via my Mum, she loved him. 87 years old is a good innings unfortunately some don't get that amount of time. Sad story of the 16 year old young man. Parents never get over their child dying that young. My aunty lost 2 together ages 16 and 15 with their 15 yr old friend. She was never the same, only finding solace when my Aunty found out she was dying from cancer, she was ready and excited to join her children.

That guy deserves a statue of him playing the piano paid in full by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Ain't that the truth.
Ha! You expect those clowns to do anything right?…
Yep. Agreed
A very modest grave for a man of his stature, pioneer of rock n roll, without Little Richard there would be no Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. Great video as always Scott.
Your right based on what he gave to the history of music. But maybe he requested something simple upon his death
NO-HE TOOK CARE OF ALOT OF PEOPLE AND HE WAS NOT BROKE HE PASS ON LEAVING HIS WEALTH AND MATERIAL BLONGING
@@marvinpage8978 I didn't say he was broke fella, all I'm saying is it's a very modest grave for a man of his standing, which is not a bad thing, he was clearly a modest humble man & didn't want anything flamboyant.

Rip little Richard 🙏
Scott, Jimi Hendrix played guitar in Little Richards band. He was one of the first creators of Rock n Roll. Cheers James.
Loved Little Richard, the originator of Rock & Roll. A real trend setter, thanks for this video.

He LOVED to talk on stage now...

Yeah I'm sorry but people who kill people should get life without parole
May that boy rest in peace

I live in Huntsville. My husband and I visit Little Richard's grave periodically, and leave flowers. The bouquet that kept falling over was one I had brought (thank you for straightening it). It looks like someone moved it from the original spot, probably to make room for the wreath. The wreath is definitely a recent addition, and was not there right after the funeral. At that time, as per usual after a burial, many standing wreaths were left and there were flowers strewn across the grave. Over time, these gradually disappeared (not sure if people took them, or the cemetery eventually discarded them). He did not have a headstone at all for over a year. There was just a little metal placard which someone eventually took. After that, for a long time there was nothing at all to mark the grave. Fans would create signs and place there. I assumed at some point his family would have a headstone placed there, but it takes time and money to have it done. I am glad he now has a permanent stone in place.
Thank you for sharing Mustafa’s story as well 😔 Mirrors other cases we’ve heard about recently all too well. …….So sad 💔
I loved listening to Little Richard,s music as a youth. It was very upbeat and made you want to dance and be happy 😊! Thanks for sharing this video!
Big fan. I love your work Scott
We would not have The Beatles without Little Richard.Tony
I love your channel, man! Stay safe and find peace on the road.
The mark he left in music is all we need thanx for this post
I remember seeing little Richard on a episode of full house
I went to Nashville in 2009 and an ambulance came for him. I stayed at the hotel across the stadium there where they do concerts.
I remember him vividly.
He was involved in a car accident in Murfreesboro TN right before he died.
He seemed very kind and funny🌹 I'll bet he would've been a hoot to hang out with. Rip you earned your wings I'm sure. You were loved by many here💞
Wonderful video Scott, I'm sure his headstone is exactly what he wanted. So sad about the 16 year old. Thanks for sharing ❤ stay safe and take care
The very best that ever did it. Little Richard. A rock n roll genius. Thank you Scott for sharing.
Always enjoy your uploads Scott and this installment was no exception. I will never forget Little Richard performing for Muhammad Ali's 50th birthday celebration. When he came out Ali stood up, pointed at Little Richard and yelled "The King"!!! Ali was not mic'ed, so LR pointed his mic at Ali and said, "You can say that again baby." ...Ali again (this time in the mic) pointed and yelled, "The King"!!! Richard Penniman, had he been born in a different time, would've undoubtedly received the recognition he so richly deserved. The man was an extreme talent and a true trailblazer if ever there was one. May he and the young black boy both rest in the sweetest of peace. Thank you Scott for placing his flowers back in the vase. Your loving, compassionate nature is so very evident. ...and admirable. Take good care. Fans, Austin & Matthew in Clearwater, Florida USA

My mom absolutely loved Little Richard. She was born the same year he was. She loved his music and the movies he was in. He was comical. I grew up listening and watching Little Richard all my life.
I was born in Huntsville and my mother said she saw him several times in his pink Cadillac....so I saw Richard about half a dozen times but cant remember because I was younger than 2 in 57 and 58...damn...just a little personal story
Love your shows Scott! Thank you. And your music!!!!!!!
I loved Little Richard. His music was great. I loved his guest appearances. While he was alive I watched some of his church services. I was saddened to hear that he passed.
Wow!!..Little Richard..EL REY DEL ROCK AND ROLL😍🤩
Thanks Scott Do you think you can do The Grave of John Tenta (Earthquake) or Doink the Clown (Matt Borne)
Another great video. Love Little Richard, fantastic musician and very funny man.
I absolutely adore Little Richard, this made me cry. Bless him and thank you for the video❤
Thank you for sharing this. I am from here. I grateful you came here. Thank you! Roll Tide!
Great tribute Scott, informative and respectful. I grew up on Little Richard's music via my Mum, she loved him. 87 years old is a good innings unfortunately some don't get that amount of time. Sad story of the 16 year old young man. Parents never get over their child dying that young. My aunty lost 2 together ages 16 and 15 with their 15 yr old friend. She was never the same, only finding solace when my Aunty found out she was dying from cancer, she was ready and excited to join her children.
Love this video! I live in Huntsville and have always loved Little Richard.
