The more I watch Little Richard interviews, the more I like him. The man is not only a musical legend, but a real intelligent person with a great sense of humor. Very pleasant to listen to him.

I’m just now realizing how many people bit his style..a lot more need to be paying homage. Dude is a 1 of 1 and definitely deserves more credit. I mean his style and swag can be seen heavily in a lot of communities today and they don’t even know the originator. Smh
Say it again, Mark. He WAS R&R and he CROSSED the LINE. FACTS.. Argument dun. READ and LUSTEN to his interviews. He said he was bfore Elvis. He was on Camden bc he was BLACK. They wouldn't play his music on the white radio stations. As soon as he put out his songs Elvys and Pat Boone covered them. He later thanked them for it. Knowledge is Power.
He gave that tag to Elvis as the greatest entertainer of all time, and said he was also a beautiful human being and great friend, but I agree he deserves the adulation. ❤
We are all God children he gave us free will when we young we do things. We don't forget God he allow us to do and make mistakes he never leave or forsake us. When time is right we go back to our roots.God forgive men need stop judging.. When time was right he knew when it was time.he was a minister, knew the word. Was raised in church.. We often have find yourself. God never left little Richard.now he's home where he belong.that's all that matters. Love and positivity, j family.

@@minniebarrett3809 The best revenge is living to be 86 years old!! Almost twice the age of Elvis. When he passed away. Unceremoniously, on the toilet!
He is making everybody happy in Heaven. So glad got to meet him and see him perform at The Opera House in San Francisco (yes, he was that special) few years ago. RIP, will miss you! You are a Legend, love you💖🕊🌷
I remember Little Richard having a rebirth of sorts in his career around the early 90's. He guested on Jon Bon Jovi's debut solo album, he appeared in videos from Cinderella and Ratt, he was on prime-time game shows, etc. It seemed like everybody who was somebody in the early 90's wanted to work with him in some capacity. It's a testament to what a legendary, talented, and engaging performer he was and how his music continues to resonate with people. Thank you Little Richard for helping put rock and roll on the map. We will always be grateful to you for that. God rest your soul.
"Crazy people are going to ruin this country." How prescient to today. Always an entertaining interview and I just realized even Ru Paul stole his act! Arguably one of the greatest. talents. EVER! RIP Little Richard.
It's about time he got recognized. A true real genuine man, he is unique and there are not than many people like him anymore. He is a legend in his own right, the King of Rock n' Roll. Love you Little Richard.💖
All so true and was married to a black woman for two years.i liked him cause he wanted people to know what was going on and he wasn’t going to be one of those helping them to cover it up.every chance he got to tell it he did cause it left it’s evil mark on him
BET should acknowledge Richard as the King of rock and roll. let the other networks get mad. We need to start giving our legends their roses while they can still smell them 💯✊🏾💓
Mr. Gardner! You said a Mouth full. They trying to steal the identity of Cleopatra! She was not white! You can't live in hot Africa! And retain the Complexion for the Protection! No way! Stop eating! What they put on the table!
Haven’t seen any tributes to Richard on Oprah or any other networks they need to have shows tributes to him and his life cause it’s education one on one rather you like it or not this man was the real deal he wasn’t phony that’s what I liked about him he was a straight shooter and enjoyed life no matter what he had gone thru why he live so long to.
@@georgieporgie9195 Honey, i suggest you pick up a history book or something. Pretty sure when he was around racism was worse than it is now and they really didn't want little white girls screaming over a black man. Elvis got more attention because he was white lol. Seems like you're the one trying to make things up to fit your INCORRECT narrative. Oh and he wasn't gay lol... he had a wife and kids. You should do more research before you write more dumb shit elsewhere about things you obviously know nothing about.
Little Richard was a force. Just watch his fingers on the piano, his energy, and how comfortable he always is in his delivery. He was a very talented and funny dude who knew how to entertain and keep his audiences cheering and hollering, but he was so much more than that. At this point Little Richard was 58 years old but still, by his own testimony, an infant in his spiritual journey. Many years later (long after he took off the makeup and the big hair and stopped performing in concerts), I listened to him speak about how his relationship with God completely changed his worldview and his whole life. And he really left an impression on me. I love that he loved God, and how humble and honest he showed himself to be after he was done with the Hollywood stuff and began to let his real personality shine. A very intelligent, generous, and beautiful human being.
There's never going to be another Little Richard. One of a kind, no dispute. My parents filled the house with music of most genres when I was kid, and he was in that mix. I still say he's the true king of rock n' roll, not Elvis. People can argue that, and that's okay. All that he said in this is true, and it's one of the appeals of rock music itself - of course which extends into my favourite form of music, heavy Metal. Little Richard spoke about telling the truth no matter how unpleasant it is, and more importantly, be passionate while being yourself. To stand up, defy, and express yourself with everything you've got. That's rock n' roll and beyond, and while he has left us in mortal form, his music will live on forever. You can't help but be inspired and admire the fire and spirit the man had. He didn't hold back, and that's the beauty.
Pound for pound, this had to be one of the best Little Richard interviews! Richard: "I had a guy told me I didn't look right... I couldn't understand that..." Arsenio: "Oh! He was old..." Richard: "Yeah, and he was ugly!"
We wouldn't have Elvis, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, nor ALL the Greats without Little Richard!! He made & gave LEGENDS their start and is imho, the REAL King of Rock & Roll!!! Little Richard invented and perfected rock & roll...he deserves to be recognized for who he really is! God bless Little Richard🙏

Little Richard was top row back center at Prince's first Arsenio Performance a year later from this appearance. I know, I was there. Little Richard sat there like a God overseeing one of his disciples.
30 years later he gave his last sermon before he passed and had a much different message than here. #RIP Little Richard. The real KING of Rock and Roll.
Little, Richard music was ,The first, one and only, Rock and Roll. Elvis, Presly, Tbe Beattles and The Rolling-Stones. And the rest is History. R. I. P. Little-Richard. Thank you. 20/20
As irrelevant as it is, I am white, and I came to watch this because of Little Richard... I've watched very little TV, but what little I have, Arsenio Hall is my favorite talk show host ever!!! I hated it so bad and couldn't understand why his show was cancelled. It was the best talk show ever!!! That said, one of the reasons was having people like Little Richard on the show! Where so many kept interrupting Little Richard, he helped him express what was on his mind, and added so much to the interview! One of my favorites!!!
Little Richard was absolutely correct.They always disrespected him. He was who he say he was, Architect of Rock n Roll. Crazy ppl is going to ruin The U.S. he is right. He did a shout out to his Spouse Ernestine too.
Despite the disrespect he received, he lived long enough to see his influence on the next generations. He had way more positive impact on music, and his attitude was amazing.
He's speaking the truth and believe you me, I know plenty of people who are like that, especially in my hometown, but I still do me and live my life for me Only GOD Can Judge Me 'Nuff Said
Arsenio's show was a breath of fresh air in the smog of late night at the time. I love how Little Richard was talking to the audience the whole time. No one does that.
Little Richard is one of a kind....the best comedic line I've heard in a lifetime..."I`m not conceited....I'm convinced!" LMFAO! Little Richard, you are magic in a bottle! Your legacy will live on forever! RIP Little Richard! You Will Be Missed For Eternity!!! Tribute to Little Richard (Born - Richard Wayne Penniman) “The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll” American Singer, Songwriter, Pianist, Musician, Actor & Composer (December 5, 1932 - May 9, 2020) You Taught Everyone How To Celebrate Life!

My grandma had the hots for him like no other lol god she had Little Richard everything and she finally got to seem him live in the 80s my mom said she thought she was gonna rush the stage and jump him at 65 lol
God was dealing with this man then! It's a process! Hilarious he was! I see Prince, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, etc. The fashion and the styles! The Musical Genius and the Artistry! The True Pioneer! Mr. Richard said Pat Boone stole so much of his music! He would have to switch up many times! One thing most will agree! He wasn't Boring! You got your money's worth! Start to Finish! Singers had pure talent back then! Boy! Some you would hate to be Next! Not like today. They cry their way to the top! Along with sad stories! These Black Men and Women back then went through Pure Hell!! You wouldn't know it. But, they performed anyway! They had themselves and Families to take care of! Had their Dignity and livelihood stripped from them at times! But somebody prayed for them! Whether Parents or Grandparents. Saints and Friends! Etc. This Pandemic is no accident! Around the Globe there have been a lot of Injustices! Going on. I believe if it's not your time to go! You definitely will still be here! I pray for Families who have lost love ones! I would never be insensitive to that! The Bible talks about. There's a Appointed time for ALL of us to leave here! We just don't know When, Where, and How? The best investment any of us could make! Blow the dust off Our Bibles! And dig into the precious Word of God! To get those Nuggets of the Wisdom of God! Where the True Treasures to Life! Are there for the Taken! Mr. Richard knew a lot about God! He knew like the Rest of us! He wasn't going to stay out there long! Because God was in his Ear and eventually in his Heart! Our Mothers always would always call us! By our first name! When it was time to come home! Richard! Richard! Hey baby! It's time to come in. Come on Home baby! That voice of assurance. She always with a Smile! Would kiss your face! Hug you forever tight! How you doing baby? Mama loves you!! God was no different to Mr. Richard! And eventually to all of us! I hear him calling! Excuse me! Love is calling!
Thanks for this! That song for his momma was beautiful..never knew he sang songs like that. Now he's back with his momma, in the presence of God..he found Jesus..
@@dwevors i watched it. It's crazy because in this interview with Arsenio he believes the freedom is about let the people being themselves with no interference. In his final interview, it was very deep, but he was focus on preach, not teach the truth. Even if he was very deep as a religious person, he impacted more lives as a musician because he was himself, and the musicians after him focus on being themselves too. He was religious, but he knew the truth and freedom with music and his career, not religion.
My favourite interview with Lr. This is Lr in his element...being his true self...Sounding fabulous at age 57 Love this guy. He is so natural, so free and honest RIP my friend
Come back arsenio He had some great ones on his show.. Where is arsenio?. Does he know he's missed?.where ever you are arsenio thank you. This clip' going in my library file. Love and respect, neita j.:-) .
I am absolutely heartbroken on the passing of the true King of Rock 'N Roll, the one and only, Little Richard. A huge influence on me but also an unsung civil rights giant as during a time of great division in America and extreme racism towards the African American Black Community, Little Richard pioneered the way for a black man in elevating the Blues and Rock into the mainstream of White America but still loved performing to integrated crowds. His raw stage presence and energy, not to mention his vocal range, power and musicianship dwarved the likes of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. They all performed each others songs, as most Rock 'N Rollers did, but Little Richard stood head and shoulders above them all. May you Rest in Peace you absolute legend!
I've been searching for this clip for 30 years. I watched it LIVE and became unglued at this performance. The backing band, all white guys, killed Lucille. This is Richard's best performance of "Lucille" Downloaded it for safe keeping. Truly The Father of Rock and Roll.
I'm a big fan of Elvis Presley and Little Richard and little Richard should have been called the KING OF ROCK N ROLL because Elvis himself called him the king,Elvis never liked being called that.He always said there is only one king and that's THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.RIP little Richard you were surely a LEGEND.
Black people made America an attractive place if it wasn't for blacks people would have been sick America a century ago like they're getting sick of it now
Amen. I believe this was one of his better performances. So electrifying and sentimental in his rendition of his song dedicated to his mother. Wow. I love and respect this guy. So glad he gave his life to the Lord. 💯💞💯💞🇯🇲🇯🇲
I don't know what made me look little Richard up, but I swear I loved his originally and sense of humor. He spoke truth all throughout his life time as the original person he presented himself to be.
I saw him at a gas station one night in Tullahoma, TN. I was pumping my gas, and looked up and he was in the shadows smiling at me. I think he was waiting to see if I would recognize him. When I did, he walked away. Always wish I would have gotten an autograph!! RIP, Sir!!! ☺️💜
An American classic. Rose to levels no one could have expected of a black man growing up in the 1950's south. Iconic. Irreplaceable. The real King of Rock and Roll. If anyone thought Heaven was rockin' and rollin' before...just think what it's like now. RIP Little Richard.
I remember watching this. I literally remember exact things he said. I had just graduated from high school and was up watching Arsenio. At that time, you’d tape Arsenio on the VCR and I remember watching it the next day.

As soon as he put out his songs Elvys and Pat Boone covered them.
He later thanked them for it.

Absolutely true rock and roll Hall of fame.

This man was a bundle of talent. He was arguably the best rocknroll musician ever.
He was born to be an entertainer.
He gave that tag to Elvis as the greatest entertainer of all time, and said he was also a beautiful human being and great friend, but I agree he deserves the adulation. ❤
He was larger than life itself. The greatest rocker of all time!
Amén!...

I like Little Richard, but Jerry Lee Lewis was the Greatest
Who is jerry Lee Lewis
That song he was singing sounded more like country music than rock and roll
Loved him! Im 82 niw, and still watch this!!!

Little Richard was top row back center at Prince's first Arsenio Performance a year later from this appearance. I know, I was there. Little Richard sat there like a God overseeing one of his disciples.
Wow! You were blessed to see greatness that night!
30 years later he gave his last sermon before he passed and had a much different message than here.
#RIP Little Richard. The real KING of Rock and Roll.
Little Richard was AHEAD OF HIS TIME!!! RIP.
RIP to a man of great courage and talent. I hope your journey is smooth and peaceful ❤️🙏
Legend. He could tear your heart out with a gospel melody. Seconds later you're dancing in the aisles.
They don't make musicians like this anymore...RIP to The Great Little Richard 🎹🎼
Your Music will live forever....🎶
"They " never did🙏🏻🙄
God , Supreme Lord , made us.

Little, Richard music was ,The first, one and only, Rock and Roll. Elvis, Presly, Tbe Beattles and The Rolling-Stones. And the rest is History. R. I. P. Little-Richard. Thank you. 20/20
Little-Richard, Always kept it Real. And he was good looking and he knew it.
As irrelevant as it is, I am white, and I came to watch this because of Little Richard... I've watched very little TV, but what little I have, Arsenio Hall is my favorite talk show host ever!!! I hated it so bad and couldn't understand why his show was cancelled. It was the best talk show ever!!! That said, one of the reasons was having people like Little Richard on the show! Where so many kept interrupting Little Richard, he helped him express what was on his mind, and added so much to the interview! One of my favorites!!!
RIP. A little more soul in heaven today.
Little Richard was absolutely correct.They always disrespected him. He was who he say he was, Architect of Rock n Roll. Crazy ppl is going to ruin The U.S. he is right. He did a shout out to his Spouse Ernestine too.
I can almost guarantee that the main reason was that he was Black. And him being gay the secondary reason.
Despite the disrespect he received, he lived long enough to see his influence on the next generations. He had way more positive impact on music, and his attitude was amazing.
I agree
RIP WILL MISS YOU
"No place like home" RIParadise Mr. Richard...you get to kiss and hug your mom again ❤
I forgot how much I love this man. He makes laugh so hard. He's my kind of people.
At 9:00 he started talking about Freedoms being under attack , this Man was before his time in many ways !
"There are some people that are just devils but call themselves Christians." Realest thing ever said.
He's speaking the truth and believe you me, I know plenty of people who are like that, especially in my hometown, but I still do me and live my life for me
Only GOD Can Judge Me 'Nuff Said

@@nothinbutpeanut elaborate on what that has to do with people of all religions just treating others with respect....
Arsenio's show was a breath of fresh air in the smog of late night at the time. I love how Little Richard was talking to the audience the whole time. No one does that.
He never turned away from the camera while performing. Always looked directly at audiences
This guy was larger than life in every capacity....so talented...funny...articulate...fantastic...💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Little Richard is one of a kind....the best comedic line I've heard in a lifetime..."I`m not conceited....I'm convinced!" LMFAO! Little Richard, you are magic in a bottle! Your legacy will live on forever! RIP Little Richard! You Will Be Missed For Eternity!!!

I 💜 LITTLE RICHARD BLESS HIS SWEET SOUL 🙏
My grandma had the hots for him like no other lol god she had Little Richard everything and she finally got to seem him live in the 80s my mom said she thought she was gonna rush the stage and jump him at 65 lol
Lmaooooo
Why not I would of tried to jump the stage too.
@@paulacampos276 LMFAO! Put Little Richard and Elvis in the same room with my grandmother they would have been raped
This man spoke the truth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can listen to him all day !!!!! He is just amazing !!! I hope your in heaven preaching your word !
Now thats a REAL performer
God was dealing with this man then! It's a process! Hilarious he was! I see Prince, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, etc. The fashion and the styles! The Musical Genius and the Artistry! The True Pioneer! Mr. Richard said Pat Boone stole so much of his music! He would have to switch up many times! One thing most will agree! He wasn't Boring! You got your money's worth! Start to Finish! Singers had pure talent back then! Boy! Some you would hate to be Next! Not like today. They cry their way to the top! Along with sad stories! These Black Men and Women back then went through Pure Hell!! You wouldn't know it. But, they performed anyway! They had themselves and Families to take care of! Had their Dignity and livelihood stripped from them at times!
But somebody prayed for them! Whether Parents or Grandparents. Saints and Friends! Etc. This Pandemic is no accident! Around the Globe there have been a lot of Injustices! Going on. I believe if it's not your time to go! You definitely will still be here! I pray for Families who have lost love ones! I would never be insensitive to that! The Bible talks about. There's a Appointed time for ALL of us to leave here! We just don't know When, Where, and How? The best investment any of us could make! Blow the dust off Our Bibles! And dig into the precious Word of God! To get those Nuggets of the Wisdom of God! Where the True Treasures to Life! Are there for the Taken! Mr. Richard knew a lot about God! He knew like the Rest of us! He wasn't going to stay out there long! Because God was in his Ear and eventually in his Heart! Our Mothers always would always call us! By our first name! When it was time to come home! Richard! Richard! Hey baby! It's time to come in. Come on Home baby! That voice of assurance. She always with a Smile! Would kiss your face! Hug you forever tight! How you doing baby? Mama loves you!! God was no different to Mr. Richard! And eventually to all of us! I hear him calling! Excuse me! Love is calling!
L
Yes!
Yes and I pray I'll see him in heaven someday. What a delightful soul. So beautiful.
The song for his mother was heart felt. He loved country music and performed it well
Thanks for this! That song for his momma was beautiful..never knew he sang songs like that. Now he's back with his momma, in the presence of God..he found Jesus..
Amen!
Amen❤
he was really something else
Always was a breath of fresh air ---- fun guy
Mannnn I wish I could’ve met this man 💔
Richard is the GOD OF ROCK N ROLL!
The god of rock n roll is Pe Lanza, of Restart Band!
Nope NEVER a god
The important thing is he gave his heart to God. You should watch his final testimony.
@@dwevors i watched it. It's crazy because in this interview with Arsenio he believes the freedom is about let the people being themselves with no interference. In his final interview, it was very deep, but he was focus on preach, not teach the truth. Even if he was very deep as a religious person, he impacted more lives as a musician because he was himself, and the musicians after him focus on being themselves too. He was religious, but he knew the truth and freedom with music and his career, not religion.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman Nope.
What a gifted man ,extremely articulate , bold, and hilarious.
Little Richard deserved every single award he got and and a bunch he didn't and I miss him R.i.P. Little Richard.
My favourite interview with Lr.
This is Lr in his element...being his true self...Sounding fabulous at age 57
Love this guy. He is so natural, so free and honest
RIP my friend
Hello dear,how are you doing?
This will always be one of my favorite shows. The Arsenio Hall Show .
Makes me respect Arsenio even more. No other talk show host at the time would have turned over their show to Little Richard and he deserved it.
Come back arsenio He had some great ones on his show.. Where is arsenio?. Does he know he's missed?.where ever you are arsenio thank you. This clip' going in my library file. Love and respect, neita j.:-) .
I would love to go back to those days 💗
I am absolutely heartbroken on the passing of the true King of Rock 'N Roll, the one and only, Little Richard. A huge influence on me but also an unsung civil rights giant as during a time of great division in America and extreme racism towards the African American Black Community, Little Richard pioneered the way for a black man in elevating the Blues and Rock into the mainstream of White America but still loved performing to integrated crowds. His raw stage presence and energy, not to mention his vocal range, power and musicianship dwarved the likes of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. They all performed each others songs, as most Rock 'N Rollers did, but Little Richard stood head and shoulders above them all. May you Rest in Peace you absolute legend!
Wow. He could make a piano talk. Rest in peace Richard.
RIP brother. THE father of Rock ‘n Roll. 😊
Rest in heaven, Mr. Richard. We’ll always love you and your music ❤️😎🌟🎶🎤🎹🙏
This is really sad to loose Little Richard... May God have mercy on his soul!
He was such a gem. Rest In Peace 🙏
I've been searching for this clip for 30 years. I watched it LIVE and became unglued at this performance. The backing band, all white guys, killed Lucille. This is Richard's best performance of "Lucille" Downloaded it for safe keeping. Truly The Father of Rock and Roll.
R.I.P. Little Richard aka legend aka icon there will never be another.
Thank you so much for posting this interview on the true Architect of Rock & Roll on the Arsenio Hall show.
THE KING, END OF DISCUSSION....NOW, SHUT UP!
I'm a big fan of Elvis Presley and Little Richard and little Richard should have been called the KING OF ROCK N ROLL because Elvis himself called him the king,Elvis never liked being called that.He always said there is only one king and that's THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.RIP little Richard you were surely a LEGEND.
Yes!!!
I read this in his voice 😂 rip Little Richard
Hilarious
Black people made America an attractive place if it wasn't for blacks people would have been sick America a century ago like they're getting sick of it now
I don't know how he was able to scream like that and his voice never failed!!
Luv his character
Little Richard threw it down on "The Arsenio Hall" show.
Amen.
I believe this was one of his better performances.
So electrifying and sentimental in his rendition of his song dedicated to his mother.
Wow. I love and respect this guy.
So glad he gave his life to the Lord.
💯💞💯💞🇯🇲🇯🇲
35 years after the fact..and the guy rocks the joint.....woduurfulll..
I don't know what made me look little Richard up, but I swear I loved his originally and sense of humor. He spoke truth all throughout his life time as the original person he presented himself to be.
I loved Little Richard, since I was 4 year old. I was born in 55 RIP
Little Richard
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I saw him at a gas station one night in Tullahoma, TN. I was pumping my gas, and looked up and he was in the shadows smiling at me. I think he was waiting to see if I would recognize him. When I did, he walked away. Always wish I would have gotten an autograph!! RIP, Sir!!! ☺️💜
Hello dear,how are you doing?
The world called Elvis Presley the king but do you know when Elvis Presley met Little Richard he called him the king
Rockn Roll Genius the King of Rockn Roll hands down.
To bad he didn't get his true accolades and acknowledgment. I have always loved watching Little Richard the King of Rock and Roll! Period!
What a lovely fella, would liked to have had him as a friend. Life would have been so funny. RIP big man.
An American classic. Rose to levels no one could have expected of a black man growing up in the 1950's south. Iconic. Irreplaceable. The real King of Rock and Roll. If anyone thought Heaven was rockin' and rollin' before...just think what it's like now. RIP Little Richard.
The God of Rock ‘n’ Roll Music 🎶🙏🏻📀🎹🎸🎤
Yes he is.
Phenomenal singer and pianist! King of Rock n' Roll!
"Crazy people are gonna run this country"
I feel u on dat sadly😢
I remember watching this. I literally remember exact things he said. I had just graduated from high school and was up watching Arsenio. At that time, you’d tape Arsenio on the VCR and I remember watching it the next day.
I was 5, 6, and 7 and use to love staying up for Arsenio. I swear Freddy Kruger came on earlier that night
@@kenny808kine8 Ha! Freddy Kruger was another staple of the late 80's and early 90's that everyone remembers.
