    Little is a very nice man. I will never forget when my bestie and I were in Hollywood many years back and saw a long stretch limo and recognized him turns out we were staying in the same hotel and he invited us to his room for fruit and kept saying his feet were bothering him. He was performing that night and prayed for us, blessed us and then he gave us gifts, took photos with us and autographed a couple books for us. We were 2 silly girls in our early 20's from Chicago and he treated us like princesses and talked to us like we were his daughters. We were so blessed to have experienced this!

      Little Richard left that life behind him, and became a new person. He left the music industry went back to school, graduated from an HBCU , became an ordained minister, and spoke about the ills of the world and love. Little Richard lived a different life because his old life he realized it was idolatry. We have to accept people for the changes they made it their lives, if he didn't feel comfortable with that past, we have to accept it.

      And so the story goes. He was original in his music and entertainment. But I agree we dont pay omege to these ones while they are here. He had to fight to be titled for his gifted talent and the struggle was very well worth it. He had fame and fortune but the powers that be did not want him to be recognized. He made his mark by opening doors for other people today. Not just in the entertainment world but in all areas of civil and human rights. He went back to his roots and we better recognize who and what this man meant to this planet.

      With a up tempo. 1951 Elvis came in 1955, four years later. Jimmy Hendrix
      His bass player, the stones would warm for him. He was such a genius. & so very funny! I like them both. Let's be real about
      Dates. Richard had James brown, look @ how many bands this gentle soul has

      Richard always said that Chuck Berry was his absolute favorite performer. And he and James Brown competed and pushed each other to greatness in Georgia before they both hit big in the 50s. It's remarkable that Little Richard was able to cut loose in the South, during the darkest days of Jim Crow, and actually got away with it because alot of the Whites thought he was GAY! They figured he wouldn't be after the white girls, so he was ok!

You're missing the whole thing Elvis Presley was Versa ties he can sing anything imbalance Rock and Roll country gospel rhythm and blues you name it he can sing it. And today Elvis Presley was a well-known Entertainer he didn't shut down at a piano and saying. He danced around he moved around and he interacted with his fans.
      And Elvis gave over 200 Cars way to his friends family and fans. He has gave jewelry to his fans. He's did over a thousand shows. Roughly. 150 shows a year..

    R.I.P. Little Richard on today because this short interview just spoke volumes and I know at 87 he's in a much better place.

    I remember seeing him at a L.A. church back in 94. At this time, he was still in Rock n Roll mode with the clothes but he was very chill and humble.
    I was young and didn’t think it was really him and that the guy was an imposter until one member greeted him with his real name.
    One thing I do remember is he did have a big head.

    A historical man telling a historical true story. He paved the way for many artists who were saluted for being first - but Little Richard never complained...He was first.

      No he wasn't first sister Rosetta Tharpe is the inventor of rock n roll...if it makes you feel better for some reason she was black...she started it in the late 1930s and she played guitar better than chuck berry...Chuck berry and little richard went around singing the same 4 songs for their entire careers...Believe me Chuck berry could have never sang If I can dream " Like elvis could never ever and in a million years...if it ain't against your religion to watch a white guy just watch that one song....

    Little Richard was a one of a kind person. You don’t hear of very many, if any, “celebrities” that back away from the limelight (R.I.P. Neil Peart) because your fans start to idolize you and “it just doesn’t feel right.” Famous people want the money that comes with the fame but most don’t have a faith so they aren’t really at odds with anything. Little Richard DID have his faith and he chose that over all things worldly.
