I remember he came to my church. That man can sing and preach the gospel like no one else!
Yes oh my yes!!!
How long ago was that?
I met him once at a soul food restaurant in Inglewood, CA with his entourage. Very down to earth! He shook hands with us and thanked us for our compliments. I thanked him for his contributions to music. Wonderful guy!
That’s so awesome! I’m jealous!
How cool!
What did he order?
I'm not conceited..... I'm convinced. RIP Little Richard. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
The true King of Rock & Roll
True u ain't lying.
Exactly!!!! 100% truth!!
True fact
Yup! The Architect. The Blueprint.
Queen* get it right
Little Richard remains the true Architect of Rock & Roll.
According to him, Lil Richard was one of the architects of rock and roll, but there were artists before him like Mama Thorton, Chuck Berry, and a singer that Lil Richard was influenced. Rock and Roll's architect was the black artist that began in the church and created blues.

True, although Louis Jordon should be given his props, you can hear a lot of Little Richard in his recordings.

"I invented Rock 'N Roll and ain't nobody gave me nothin!" -Little Richard at the Grammys, 1973.
That was in the 80’s.
1988 to be exact
But they did finally give a Star on hollywood walk of fame and he was inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame in the 80s/early 90s. he did receive his flowers or recognition much later but before he died. RIP Richard you were and is the true KING of Rock n Roll
Amen.
You have missed like 15 years, it was 1988.
I will never forget seeing him as a kid in the movie "why do fools fall in love. He upstaged every female in the movie😄 LMAO. He was so talented, but so hilarious also!
Yes goodness 😂😂
Actually, there was one person who, IMO, always acknowledged Little Richard, not only for his talent, but for his contributions to music and musicians all over the world. That person was Dick Clark. Everyone else was late to the party. It may have been a bit late, but Little Richard finally did receive the recognition he kept telling everybody he deserved.
Donny and Marie did too on his (imo) most emotional interview
Richard received the best reward in Heaven . He found God way before he went home.
@@warriorcell9418 absolutely amazing gift that anyone can receive is to enter the gate of heaven nothing else matters
Little Richard was ahead of Ahead of his time
Little Richard was a close friend of my family when my uncle Ronald was ill he came to Cleveland ohio to see him in the nursing home still have the pic. RIP Mr. Richard Penniman
Really?! Wow! Can you please tell us more?! What was he like?!
Richard never won a Grammy but his remarks must have touched the nerve of the academy as he would be honored years later. He was presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993, just five years after his infamous declaration. Three of his songs and one album were also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
How in the Hell did little Richard never win a Grammy he was Beyond Amazing
Little Richard told a his story on "Three Angles Broadcasting Network (3ABN)". Seventh-day Adventist. Little Richard's sister is a Seventh-day Adventist. Before he passed away, he gave his life back to the Lord.🙏
Yes, that's the most important part of his story and should be shared❣
Yes, he gave his life to God in 1977 and gave his testimony on many shows, including Tom Snyder and David Letterman.
Thank you for acknowledging that! I saw that broadcast.
@@TemaSunae Your very welcome 😊
I’ve watched all Lil Richard interviews n his last one at seven day Adventist was the best in propspective he said if he could do it again he would be a street preacher . He denounced Rock n Roll n drugs n the gay lifestyle it was a honest truthful interview.
Little Richard is the architect of Rock N Roll! He is THE Legend!
Little Richard was EVERYTHING. If we allow the true creatives or those that are "different" to silenced we will never see anyone like this again.
Yeap
Amen.
I recently visited the African American museum in Macon, ga.. they have his piano and so many of his flamboyant suits and shoes.. I felt so much a part of history and in complete Awe.. As I stood there among his personal things! Little Richard!! Long overdue.. ✨ ✨
Didn't know they had one there will have to visit
I had the immense pleasure of meeting Richard in the mid-80s during the publication of his memoir, "The Life and Times of Little Richard" by Charles White. To simply say he was delightful would be a gross understatement.
You’re sooooo lucky!
HE WAS THE INVENTOR..THE ORGINATOR...AND THE ARCHITECT!!!! Love Little Richard!! I have to go see this documentary!! Glad he's getting the acknowledgement he deserves!❤❤❤
Thank you. 😊it's sad that people don't get the flowers they deserve, when alive.
He never received the recognition he deserved a true icon
I remember the awards show that Little Richard gave himself his own flowers. He deserved it and I wish he had gotten these accolades while he was alive. He is the king of rock-n-roll.
The last years of his life were confined to a wheelchair. He too, was blacklisted from the industry for preaching Christ and the Gospel.
I’ve noticed when discussing Little Richard, people never mentioned he became a born again Christian towards the later years of his life. It’s very easy to find here on RUclips. I haven’t seen the documentary, but if that wasn’t included, they failed. If you’re going to tell someone’s life story, you can’t leave out an important detail like that.
He was reverend penniman at the height of his career. He went back and forth and struggled throughout his career and lifetime
@BlackCherokee
When U are raised and brainwashed by churches at an early age its difficult to break free!
If you study religion the concept of “hell” was invented….to make people afraid to question religion.
Truth doesn't fit the agenda, or where he renounced being gay openly since the 70's...
Right! Even Prince spirituality isn’t highlighted
Because he did it several time in his life. First time publically in the early 80's. He was going back and forth. First time he said "im not gay anymore" in the 80's on Letterman then few years later he backed up and said im gay again for 35 years, just to devout again at the end of his life. The truth is he was always Christian from the beggining it's just that his gayness and his faith clashed and could never make peace with himself til the end of his life.
There was a television movie about little Richard. If you watch his interview with Donnie and Marie osmond, he speaks about his life. Let's not forget that sister Rosetta Tharp gave Richard his start.
Leon.
@Jael Redfern yes I see that Leon played the adult little Richard. It is an all star cast with Robert Townsend directing.
It was great... Leon played Richard and Richard loved it..Richard wanted someone light at first just like Aretha wanting Halle Berry
I loved Little Richard.
He remains the King of Rock and Roll.
He influenced everyone including Elvis and the Beatles and Mick Jagger!!
May he rest in peace
I met Little Richard in 1976 as a Singing Evangelist. Yes he had his issues with that lifestyle. He retuned to his faith and anyone wishing to know about him should go to 3ABN and seek for little Richard's final presentation when he returned to serving God. May he rest in peace until the first resssurrection.
Right he literally denounced that life style, I bet they won’t add that to the documentary.
AMEN
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! For
WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord SHALL be saved Romans 10:13
The Gospel for salvation is 1 Corinthians 15 1-4
Have you received the blood atonement of Jesus Christ?
Get saved (born again) before it's too late!
Don’t forget he was Seven Day Adventist and still witnessed to lost souls. ❤
I use to see him every week, at a Seven-day Adventist church/ tent, in Compton California: in the late 70s. He would drive up from Riverside Ca, where he lived with his mother. He was going through his Christian phase, before his comeback in the 80s. He became good friends with my older sister. He was always nice and down to earth.
Saw him there too met him through my mom we remained good friends ever since.
Well I had a wonderful opportunity of seeing him in person, what a wonderful guy 👦🏿 God rest his soul ❤️
A movie was already made on him with his blessing!
I met Little Richard once on Hollywood Blvd in the eighties. He wire all white. I've always felt he was disrespected because he was Black and Gay. Liberace was popular at the same time and was never treated so shabbily.
He became born again and denounced his old gay life!
Our people are just full of soul and talent! I know this documentary will be a hit! King of pop! Michael Jackson! king of blues Bobby Bland Queen of R&B Whitney Houston The King of R&B R-Kelly The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin And The Architect of it All LITTLE RICHARD!!!
Somebody is about to reply to you with "don't forget Elvis"
@@sonnychiba3529 LOL...Elvis and Little Richard had a mutual love and respect for each other as life long friends and neither saw color.
@@tinagoodwin3571 like I said little Richard our black peoples are the ones that gave the cross race people soul rhythm and blues…
@@milkshake321 Sorry...I don't see color or "my" people, "our people". I see the human race comprised of "all" people...and love. Don't forget the love.
Legends die before having a proper story told about their lives and it leads to others researching a doing it their own way and that's the sad part. I'm looking forward to this documentary, but a big screen, big production movie needs to be made about the creator, innovator, emancipator and architect of rock n roll Richard "Little Richard" Penniman. The movie made for TV starring Leon was OK, but his story deserves to be told bigger and better and bolder because that was Little Richard. ❤
I really hope they don’t push the gay lifestyle in this documentary he’s sooo much more than that. When she said he was an apologetic about his life I knew where this was going. On the contrary he was apologetic he repented to the Lord and to the world he’s said it live in interviews. He had a book “The life n times of lil Richard” I wonder how close it will be to this book that he actually signed off on. Now did he sign off on this doc. Or is this an opportunity to use his former lifestyle of which he repented of for an agenda?
AMEN❤
@@sirpoppinchuck I totally agree
We don't need to see a documentary about Mr. Richard Penniman he's no longer here with us we don't want to hear no B.S & lies and making up stories about Little Richard he's no longer here to tell the full story of his life plus Mr. Penniman say that Leon did a fantastic job in the movie & he did played his ass off BOOM!!!😄😄😄
My thoughts exactly
I can't wait to see it...Loved him ❤️💔
They need to do Sylvester also. He was the KING of disco music!
Wow... lol
Sylvester went to Los Angeles High School, when my late Aunt went there. I know a lady who was friends with Sylvester back then.
Little Richard told his on story while he was living. Let him Rest In Peace.🙏🏼❤️
Don't leave out him fully giving his life to Christ🥹🥲.You could see God tugging at Little Richard's could early on even when he was living in sin😊✝️🔥.
I can't wait to see this!!!!
Long live the iconic, Little Richard..... A true music legend!
Little Richard rest in peace 💙🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow I can't believe it I've loved this guy forever can't wait to see this because he was so awesome as an entertainer and person little Richard forever
He was before his time - wonder what Billy Porter would have to say about him now & if they would compete - Can't wait to see this documentary!
....BILLY...is in the documentary....of course he is fabulous in it.....
Little Richard told his story time and time again before he died. No one can tell his story like he told him.
I’m so happy to here this. He’s deserving of it all
Richard denied the queerness and proclaimed Jesus as Lord over all at the end of his life. His last interview is on RUclips. Let’s not leave that part out. 👏🏽
Yes he did 💖
Thank God it doesn't matter how we start the end is what matters if our souls are right with God our not.
....it's in the documentary....
The little Richard movie with Leon was awesome.
I met Little Richard when I was at the main post office in Hollywood, picking up my mail. As I was going out the front door to exit, I saw him walking up the steps, with his limo parked behind him. I remember saying, “Hi Little Richard”. He said hello and he was friendly. His mother had a house on Virginia Road in the Lafayette Square part of Los Angeles, where he stayed with her and his sister Leva when he was studying to be a minister. My mom was friends with Leva, and they went to Mount Vernon Jr. High School together. My mom often went to their house, but she never saw him, because Leva said that Little Richard was there in his bedroom with the door closed, studying. About 4 years ago, a neighbor here in Lafayette Square reported that she saw him walking around the neighborhood.
Most exciting doc to come along in awhile about the artist who was the first rock and roller to explode on a cosmic level. I think he's the first real "heavy artist" of all time. LR songs and performances were very "heavy metal energy" for their time. LR is the embodiment of all the music I love today.
I know Tamron’s hair is iconic right here!
🕊 Rest In peace Lil Richard🕊.
I miss Lil Richard. There will never be another!
Wow this is ready to be released already & no promo's!!!???
....look them up on RUclips there are several....enjoy...
The KING! No ifs ands or buts about it!!! An American legend
Tam, I am fan of his! Just absolutely raw talent and a trailblazing, national treasure. So wise and and courageous. ❤
I met Little Richard and some of his crew in 1999. They came into a coffee shop I was working at and he took a liking to me. His entourage came back a few minutes after they left and said Little Richard wanted me to have tickets to his show, and they were stage-side seats. So I invited a friend and we HAD A BLAST at that show at the Bite of Portland. Little Richard came over and gave me a hug and thanked me for coming and bringing a friend (who I think Little Richard thought was cute) lol. Great memories! Amazing Show!!!
The first time I heard him(1956-age 12) sing .it was so exciting .I never heard any one like him. He was great . no one like little Richard ..(so glad to have seen him in person... concert 2006 ).the greatest .many loved him .
Little Richard was the Architect of Rock-n-Roll.🥰RIP🕯🙏🏼Little Richard🌻
They made a movie about his life that BET use to show. Leon played Little Richard
Grateful to the director for making the documentary. I wish we had an official documentary on Kool and The Gang, and all other black artists who were "different" and lived with secrets. We have nothing but Love and respect for living in such times ❤
This is what I want to spend my life doing. I want to tell the stories of the unseen and unheard. This is confirmation of the stories I’ve documented in my office that the world needs to read and see on the big screen.
Little Richard was mega celebrated during his life, story be told.
I'm 53 and always wondered why he didn't get the recognition that he deserved, he was way ahead of his time but damn it's Little Richard!
I’m 54 and little was not our generation. Our generation was the 80s. Come on be real. That’s our parents generation.
I am trying to figure out why so many don't think he got the recognition he deserved? I grew up in the 60's and 70's. He was always on TV during this time. He was on talk shows and variety shows. He was also a big draw in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel. He was always introduced as one of the founders or fathers of Rock and roll. Or as the architect of Rock and Roll, or even the Quasar of Rock and Roll. He was front and center during the whole 50's rock and roll revival in the early 70's, usually headlining the big revival festivals and concerts. In the late 70's he disappeared for a little while during another one of his religious revivals but he came roaring back in the mid 80's and he was everywhere again , doing talk shows, awards shows, variety shows and his contributions to the founding and creating of Rock and Roll was always mentioned. He was even doing movies and making new records, doing duets with then current big music stars. So how was he not acknowledged and forgotten about? As a Little Richard fan, I'm looking forward to this movie but it's not like nobody knew who he was for the last 60 years.
You can tell Prince emulated himself after Little Richard..the look,hair,makeup everything..
The GREATEST Little Richard interview EVER was him being asked about Jimi Hendrix!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Undeniably, Little Richard was one of the forefathers of rock and roll. R.I.P. Little Richard. Lawd, heaven must be hoppin! Whoooooooo!
That is so right. Little Richard is the rock of rock and roll.
Little Richard was always amazing! Anyone who new that felt like you had caught lightening in a jar and wanted to keep it for yourself.
Had the honor of seeing him perform twice. Totally amazing.
This documentary was great thank you for putting this together he deserved all of this
Tamron Hall is beautiful!!!That hairstyle is immaculate!!!
I am so proud of me knowing he’s my guiding light of self awareness
I cannot wait for this! Long overdue.
I cannot wait to see it!
I do remember reading a Little Richard Biography 30yrs ago and watching a movie about his life....He has always been under rated as the creator of modern music.
Leon Robinson played little Richard and Jennifer Lewis played his mother the movie was directed by Robert Townsend. I don't know what she's talking about. She didn't know anything about him. 🤣 and Leon talked about how he paid homage to him when he came on set. Little Richard said that movie told the true story about his life. That lady obviously didn't do a extensive research.
I liked that movie too but there is nothing like an actual documentary to learn about someone’s real life! 🎥🎞🎬
Little Richard makes me and the world happy 🙂
He was down to earth, told it like it was no apologies it was what it was RIP MR. PENNIMAN
i started to recognize his music couple of yrs ago the bassline in lucille is frickin awesome the piano playing in great gosh o mighty john Fogerty of creedence clearwater revival doing good golly miss molly these also are what ppl missed rip little richard u were a legend man xox 😊❤💐🎵🎶🎤🎹🎼🎷
Love Little Richard fan for life🔥🔥🔥
Documentary of one of my favorite singers just came out.. I waited months for this documentary of Little Richard : Little Richard: I Am Everything
Made by CNN 🙄
After watching it I was disappointed that they left out the most important part of his life that he treasured & wanted to share with the World.
Not only that but they stated that he “hated” himself because
he wasn’t “proud of his open Pride”
& that it was the Holy Bible’s fault for having him turn away from his sexual lifestyle after finding Jesus Christ.
- They removed his everything about his faith & repentance from his “proud” sexual lifestyle, which was one of the biggest changes of his life.
He became a Christian Minister to preach the Gospel & how Christ made him NEW.
Here is one of his last interviews.
CNN did a huge disservice to his legacy.
You wanna glorify his sins & struggles…
but not post or make light of the true man
Little Richard was.
It’s a disservice to what he died for…
I met a guy in Las Vegas at the New York, New York hotel in the sliced pizza restaurant, when I was in town for the Prepaid Legal convention. Well, this guy noticed that I was in a suit, and we struck up a conversation. He told me that he was seeking legal help because Little Richard was his father, and that the church had kept him and his dad away from each other his whole life. I cannot remember this guy’s name. Anyway, the point is, the church had a big influence on Little Richard, and it wasn’t all good!
TAMRON Is Sooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait to see this
He really was the king of Rock and Roll. And they knew it. But we know how it goes already! Long live the King!
Little Richard fats dionno chuck berry are the grandfather's of rock n roll. I was raised on all these legends Sam Cooke ray Charles. That's why I'm on here I love little Richard. When you get a chance would you watch Elvis and the black community. Stay well and groovy my friend. TX
He was the King of Rock and Roll!
I’ma tell my kids this was the architect of rock and roll. 😌
I used to live in Indian Hills,CA on a golf course around the corner from Little Richard’s mother in the late 70’s
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO A DOCUMENTARY ON LUTHER VANDROSS TOO? WE MUST NOT FORGET OUR ICONS!
The KING OF ROCK N ROLL= LIL RICHARD 👑 ⭐️ 🎹 🎤
The true king of rock and roll.
He was fabulous.
Yay!
He definitely deserves his flowers 🤩😘😁
the true king of r & roll he said hello to me as he came onstage & i was near the piano
I had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He would come into my workplace and I was the one who would help him. Every time he would come in he would walk up to all the other clients and employees and look them in the eye, shake their hands and say hello.
Considering his contribution musically alone, his stage performance, his top 10 hits the number of people he influence, all of which became megastars in their own right, it’s criminal, that he was relegated almost to the level of a footnote in rock ‘n’ roll history. He was right to speak out and be his own advocate. Before I understood who he was and what he accomplished, I thought he was just being flamboyant when he mentioned that he was the architect and complaining that he never got a Grammy and deserve one then, when I researched it, I just agreed with him.
I love your hairstyle, Tamron.
I love Little Richard❤❤❤❤❤
Love from ❤️❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
he was AMAZING
I'll make it quick for you. Born in poverty in a Christian home, struggled with homosexuality, became famous, got into drug excess, gave his life to Jesus, was born-again, renounced homosexuality, drugs and his past life of sin. Decided he wanted Jesus more than anything else. Went to Heaven, currently lives in heaven.
Little Richard got his flowers from The Universe ' He literally lived twice as long as Elvis! So there is that!! He was pretty and he knew it.
Little Richard was the blueprint of everything Laverne cox billy Porter and RuPaul and TS Madison does in entertainment spaces today as queer people of color
not just that Rock n Roll!!! Something even bigger....
did you just mention Little RIchard and RuPaul in the same sentence ? are you for real?
Why does that bother you
@@CoolGobyFishexactly we’re then comparing just plain gay vs talent career
Rest n Heaven Rock n roll architect little Richard
Tell the whole story that right before he died .Little Richard was on TBN and he said that He gave life over to JESUS CHRIST that's why we celebrate him. He said none of all that mattererd but JESUS and that he loved him with all his heart.
