I knew him casually in the 1980s, as he went to church in Hollywood and i was the secretary there. This was not long after his auto accident, as his leg was still healing and he used a cane whenhe walked. Always immaculately dressed in beautiful suits when I saw him. He was very gracious and quietly did some very nice things for some homeless people in the area. R.I.P.
Lot's of people help the homeless straight & otherwise but homosexuals don't have sex & make babies. Heck they don't have sex at all. That is very dangerous to the continuation of life on this planet...totally unnatural!
He was a very nice man.He traveled thu Tulsa International Airport were I worked Security Officer.He would talk to me every time hecame thru.Also gave me a Christian book and signed his name on it.God Bless him and may he Rest In Peace
I lived in the San Fernando Valley back in the 70s-80s and my brother and I stop at a red light late one night and he pulled up next to us. We waved and he gave us a big smile and waved back. He was driving a custom car, I can't remember what make it was, but most likely a Caddy or a Lincoln, but it was pretty old and well used. He had a sort of scruffy looking white woman with him, and they both looked like they'd been partying pretty hard. That's was kind of low point for him but not long after that 50s rock came back into style, probably when the movie "Grease" came out, and he was getting a lot more attention I have to assume he was doing pretty good then. He had to be fun to hang out with.
He lived his life the way he did and I’m not the judge. But he repented and gave his life to Christ and that’s the most important highlight of his life. RIP Little Richard.
I lived in LA for many years and had a cake business. One day, I was driving West (towards the beach) on Sunset Blvd when a big Limo pulled in front of me to go into LaMondrian and just stopped in the middle of the street (don't know if it's spelled right but it was a Hotel with may colors pained on it)/ OUT of the LIMO popped Little Richard...smiled his adorable smile and waved at me, got back into the Limo and they proceeded to go into the Hotel. A memory I'll always treasure JUST LIKE ONE DAY I was driving On LaCienega and Wilshire and stopped at a light...a brown Royles stopped next to me and there was Cary Grant all by himself. It was fun seeing these incredible people just living their lives.
When u separate from your physical body like a crackhead u r having withdrawal symptoms from all the things u did when u had a physical body. There is no "resting in peace" until that process is complete, which can take many months depending on the person & how powerful those earthly vibrations were!
You actually believe in fairy tales. Sorry but when your dead your dead. There’s nothing. Life cycle is over. No spirit world. You only live in peoples memories of you. After life was invented because of people’s fear of death and egos thst can’t believe they can’t go on. There must be something else. I’m so great!! Haha 😮
@@brucejeric6701 really? ...so you rather believe the boys can be girls fairytale?...just because you hate your Creator doesn't mean he's not real.... wait till you meet him! You're not the first one that hates God, I was too, so there's nothing new about us , it takes guts to believe in Him . He's still God and wants to help you out , call him , He's closer than what you think.
Years ago, I caught part of an interview he did. I can't recall where it was, or with whom, but I was simply left with the impression of him being a genuinely kind and unpretentious person. That is something that would be a good epitaph for any of us.
I was born in Williamsburg Brooklyn in 1958. I enjoy all his great music 🎶 in manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shows on tv 📺 in the 1960s. He had so much energy on stage. Rip greatness Amen 🙏.
"Long Tall Sally" was probably the first R & R song I heard ! Love his music. Artist's today owe a lot to him. I'll never forgive Pat Boone for what he did with his rendition of "Tutti Fruitti" ! He was not only a talented performer but he was hilarious in interviews...answering a questions with a sudden "WOOOOOO" or saying "Shut Up" !
Y’all must didn’t read about the thief that was on the other cross when Jesus Christ was crucified. Right then and there he repented from his lifestyle and Jesus said to this day you shall be with me in paradise. So yes you can repent. But it’s no sense saying that to unbelievers.
He became a christian and gave up the gay lifestyle and had a happy ending. I thought someone should uphold his endlife instead of leaving it like it was said.
LITTLE RICHARD IS IN HEAVEN NOW. HE GAVE HIS LIFE OVER TO JESUS. HE SAID THAT HE LOVED JESUS BEFORE HE DIED. NO MATTER WHAT HE HAD DONE, HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO GOD. GOD FORGAVE ALL OF HIS SINS THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
@@woolyhighlander7280 SAD THAT YOU CAN BELEIVE IN THEM , BUT CAN'T BE LIEVE IN JESUS ? WHO HAS ANDIS PROVEN TO BE REAL. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. ALSO DID MIRACLES AND DID EXIST .

DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW HE IS REAL THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE HATE IN YOUR HEART FOR HIM. JESUS IS COMING BACK. WHAT WILL YOU SAY THEN?
One of the inventors of rock n roll. There’s about 5-6 names that were at the beginning. Berry, Elvis, Little Richard, Jerry Lee, the Fat Man. They created the first wave of it.
He gave his life to Christianity and Christ and gave testimony about his life look for interview. He gave up all world garbache and wanted to go with god. That"s an example. I want the same. He repented from all worldliness,fame,money,sex,material possessions ect,ect. and wanted a good afterlife and he is with God.......... Plus he was original not like that one that cpies him kevin heart wants to be like little richard, never not even close not in one million years...
Deacon,,,bootleggers,,,night club. All I can do is laugh!! Because,,the first one surely do not blend with the others !!! Maybe his Deacon pay was too small !!
He was the king of rock & roll,but that title was exclusively reserved for Elvis because he (Little Richard) wasn't white and racism was deep-rooted back then especially in Georgia where he was born.
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. I’m old and white. Back the. I loved Elvis, little Richard, Jerry Lee, fat domino. Guess I was color blind and still am? It’s all about the music. All these RUclips opinions back and forth- gay, straight, religious, not religious- all this that has nothing to do with love of music. And I’m pretty stupid for speaking my opinion because I’m only adding to this insanity
But Elvis helped braking down that racism, and Little Richard loved Elvis for it. Watch 'Elvis and the black community- that ecco will never die' and 'Remembering Elvis'. LR talks about Elvis in both of them.
Another reason besides the racism is that he was gay & expressed it. Totally unacceptable in that era. I loved Little Richard and still listen and dance to his music. ❤he's playing for God now.😇
I'm begging you to please put some respect on this mans name & dont get me wrong,I understand he's not Elvis but wat I need for you to understand is ,If not for Little Richard, there would be no Elvis or about 80 percent of the music being played today, so please ,if u are gonna continue to speak on the greats, do it like something can happen to you!!
Bless you! How anyone can bash this man is unbelievable. But as usual some folks have nothing but hate in their heart. They should realize but for the grace God go you.😇
The thing is lil rich was bisexual not gay, his image was built after a gay male musician told him what look to adopt because rich asked him but rich himself was bi thats why he went thru his im not gay anymore because he wasn’t gay to begin and thats why its dangerous when bi guys publicly come out as gay and misidentify as gay only to then publicly relinquish it as if you could and therefore perpetuating hateful bigoted manmade ideas like c.therapy rhetoric. Reminder that gay means exclusively same sex attracted, partial attraction isnt gay and gay and bi are not synonymous. Thats also why he was a sex offender and all his infractions were with women, gay men are not akin to bi guys let alone pervy bi guys. Never forget that.

Just simply born to be a superstar he had golden magic in his hands when he played piano him and Chuck berry are truly missed.
I don’t care about his private life ! I love his music and style on stage ❣️

It was his life, not our life.
He made a living in the entertainment industry. His personal life should be left alone. That’s between him and God.
That's the best part he gave his life to Christ right before he did. Sometimes sin just feels so good you just keep doing it.

Knowing what he did on his last years here on earth, all I can say is : he literally is resting peacefully!

Little Richard had a mentor by the name of Asquerita. Look it up. This is where the whole persona of little Richard was birth. Askew Reeder!
Good information! ...And everyone thinks Prince was an original. SMDH!

He became a christian and gave up the gay lifestyle and had a happy ending. I thought someone should uphold his endlife instead of leaving it like it was said.
At the end, he turned his life over to Jesus Christ and now his soul is at peace in the heavenly kingdom. I thought everybody should know that, too.

This man is the foundation and architech of Rock N' Roll!!!
I’d say he had a great long life.x
RIP
I lived in Mexico City, and he came to play with his band at the University of Mexico in the 60s, we drove him to his show, being a great experience.
RIP 😢
my claim to fame, in high school i pumped gas into his green eldorado in about 1970, he wore a suit i was the only one who recognized him
A beautiful man ❤❤

It is so very odd the way different extraneous and entirely irrelevant
things so suddenly and so completely define a person.
People are weird.
Good God Ms Molly
RIP Richard
What was your favourite songs from Little Richard, like the viideo more content
I knew Billy Wright. He use to play at Blind Willies in mid 80s.
...i think it´s pretty weird if he himself says he is a gay and others denieds it ....isn´t it usually other way around🤔😁
I heard his testimony he gave his heart to jesus and gave up his gay lifestyle. I believe he is resting in peace.
So sad that he was not able to come out as gay.
Whatever he came out as..he was the KING of it🔥
I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS A BIG QUEEN! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!
He was all that and more. Didn’t hide nothing🔥🔥..there’s a bunch of big queens .out here and none did it better
Lots of guts and laughs with talent
Dad was a church deacon... you know, who also was a bootlegger and owned a nightclub. 😳🤔😂😂
😂😂😂Sounds about right! You can't have Christian values without some hypocrisy 😂
Deacon,,,bootleggers,,,night club. All I can do is laugh!!

why is this showing him with frankie lymon as his son lol ?
I already know his story. Where's the girl with the big n's ?

Why do they have a pic of a big boon’s white woman? Get real and stop fishing. I’ll watch a doc on lil’ Richard without the b/s.
Way to give a trashy obituary to an awfully talented music legend.
