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 had the chance to see him perform. From thirty feet away! Un believable, when I saw & heard him in 3D. OMG FORT ADAMS NEWPORT, RI. AFTER TWO FULL DAYS OF R & R HE WAS THE SHOW STOPPER! " ROYAL NAVY BLUE SEQUINT JACKET, WHITE SLACKS & SHOES
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
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. ❤
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.
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.
"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.
@@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!
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!"
The Architect of Rock N Roll...No one else on earth can wear the title cepting this man. He is EVERYTHING TO MUSIC AND HIS PERSONALITY IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!❤RIP
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.
@@neitajames6029 We are not all God's children. We are all created in the image of God; but in order to be a child of God, you have to be born again. Read the gospel of John ch. 3 verses 3-6.
@@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.
Honey lot people wore Jeri curls in the 80s and 90s my mom wore one. I beginning of his career some the wild hair do was wigs,. Men wore perms or had their hair pressed. Little Richard was his own man expressed himself the way he wanted. He influenced others. Prince one of them.you have understand the racism hatred he did what he had to do to stay alive. If you read his book you'd know that.. Love, peace, and positivity. The j family..
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💖🕊🌷
RICHARD WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET RICHARD ON HIS BIRTHDAY IN BEVERLY HILLS AND THANK HIM FOR HIS MUSIC,AND HE THANKED ME AND GAVE ME THAT GREAT SMILE! RIP RICHARD,AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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!!!
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.:-) .
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.
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
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! Thank You For The Music!!!! #TheInnovatorTheOriginatorAndTheArchitectOfRockAndRoll #RIPLittleRichard
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!!! ☺️💜
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
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'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 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.
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 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!
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!
Plain and simple the King and architect of RNR. He was just so influential on so many levels . His performance style , makeup , androgynous look. Suggestive lyrics and kick ass rock . Yes he was good looking and everybody who was great and influential cane through his band . From JB to Jimi . Paul McCartney got his soul singing and high chops from Richard . He was his idol
@@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.
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 agree. Love listening to him speak too

This man was 58 when he performed this in 1990. His energy was astounding!
He must have been 57 there. His birthday didn’t come yet. This was in June his birthday is in December.
It’s raw talent👍👏👏👏
Handsome he was❤❤❤❤❤
Black don't krack ❤️❤️🔥🔥👑👑
It s a raw talent 18:54
Loved him! Im 82 niw, and still watch this!!!
Yeah, Arsenio is great
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!...
Absolutely true God bless his soul
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
This world has lost someone beyond special. What a amazing life.
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.

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.

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.
Vattens Well said 🙌🏾
"He didn't hold back, and that's the beauty." - Nailed it.
Eloquently said
Vattens, Elvis was doing rock n' roll more than a year before L.R. did TF in 1955.

Now thats a REAL performer
We have lost a great musician. Now go jam with Prince, MJ and Whitney. #RIPLittleRichard
I can only imagine how lovely that mash up would be. Sleep in Paradise to those Legends!
And his former famous guitar player, Jimi Hendrix.
He was not from the same areas then his error was more Ronald Isley and the Beatles
@@slixqkrowd4669 Ronald Isley?😕
Speaking of dead legends... If you took Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and James Brown, you would have Prince!!! Rest in peace to the lost legends!
This man spoke the truth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can listen to him all day !!!!! He is just amazing !!! I hope your in heaven preaching your word !
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!!!
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.

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 💗
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.
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
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!!!

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 song for his mother was heart felt. He loved country music and performed it well
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!
"I`m not conceited....I'm convinced!" LOL!
@Jupiter Blackaad
He got that from Ali!
One of my fav quotes👍💕
Love that- And he 'sho was! Shuddup!
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.
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.
RIP brother. THE father of Rock ‘n Roll. 😊
This is really sad to loose Little Richard... May God have mercy on his soul!
I have never heard Little Richard song a slow song! It is good!
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.
What a lovely fella, would liked to have had him as a friend. Life would have been so funny. RIP big man.
Phenomenal singer and pianist! King of Rock n' Roll!
Little Richard deserved every single award he got and and a bunch he didn't and I miss him R.i.P. Little Richard.
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.
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.
💯💞💯💞🇯🇲🇯🇲
I just love this man's Spirit ♥️♥️♥️
Little Richard as usual takes over the interview. But for real, like he said "Read for yourself"
Rest in heaven, Mr. Richard. We’ll always love you and your music ❤️😎🌟🎶🎤🎹🙏
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!
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.
"No Place Like Home" now that's soul ❤️💕 never another remotely like him.
One of my favourites.
I play it almost every day.
I just loved LR.
I am sure hs is resting comfortably in the arms of Jehovah.
💞💞💞🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
He missed his mama
He is phenomenal!
I don't know how he was able to scream like that and his voice never failed!!
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.
Plain and simple the King and architect of RNR. He was just so influential on so many levels . His performance style , makeup , androgynous look. Suggestive lyrics and kick ass rock . Yes he was good looking and everybody who was great and influential cane through his band . From JB to Jimi . Paul McCartney got his soul singing and high chops from Richard . He was his idol
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.
He was such a gem. Rest In Peace 🙏
Once loved NEVER forgotten❤️
Hello dear,how are you doing?
GREAT COMEDIAN AS WELL ❤️❤️❤️❤️HE LOOKS LIKE JOE JACKSON😍😍
At 14.03' a beautiful and emotive song dedicated to his mother.
Excellent performance.
Did someone has its lyrics? Thank you
