When Little Richard died, Paul McCartney posted: "From 'Tutti Frutti' to 'Long Tall Sally' to 'Good Golly, Miss Molly' to 'Lucille', Little Richard came screaming into my life when I was a teenager. I owe a lot of what I do to Little Richard and his style; and he knew it. He would say, 'I taught Paul everything he knows'. I had to admit he was right. In the early days of The Beatles we played with Richard in Hamburg and got to know him. He would let us hang out in his dressing room and we were witness to his pre-show rituals, with his head under a towel over a bowl of steaming hot water... ...he would suddenly lift his head up to the mirror and say, 'I can’t help it cos I’m so beautiful'. And he was. A great man with a lovely sense of humour and someone who will be missed by the rock and roll community and many more."

Little Richard did two shows a night for a couple weeks at the Star Club in Hamburg with the Beatles as his opening act when Paul was 20 years old about 3 months after Ringo joined the band. That's when they met Billy Preston who was only 16 at the time.

This is undoubtedly true. The Beatles’ admiration for R&B is well known. Unfortunately, that admiration didn’t extend to the issue of financial recompense. It would take 40-something years before Little Richard would regain control of the rights of his music masters. And…it wouldn’t be because Sir Paul would give them back. It would be because Micheal Jackson would present them to Little Richard; but AFTER he purchased the entire Beatles catalogue. Now THAT’S how you show gratitude, …to someone to whom you owe a tremendous debt.

@@coinneachmaclellan3121 rock 'n' roll is essentially rhythm and blues. Louis Jordan provided the template back in the late 40's with his jump blues sound. Ike Turner played on a 1951 song called Rocket 88 which many credit with being the first rock 'n'roll song but you are absolutely correct when you mentioned Fats Domino because he embodied the sound of rock'n'roll. Ray Charles hated the term rock'n'roll and even when he inducted Billy Joel and nat King Cole into the rock 'n'roll Hall of fame, he insisted on saying Rhythm and blues hall of fame!

M first encounter with racism was when this song came out. I was about 12 at the time. A local radio DJ was broadcasting from a local shopping mall. There was a crowd of teenagers (all White, including me) hanging around and he was asking for requests. I stepped up and asked him to play Lucille. To me it was the greatest thing I'd heard since Elvis released "Hound Dog". The DJ looked up from his turn table with a look of disdain on his face and actually said, "Seriously? You really want to hear that jungle music?" That shocked me. I was almost speechless but I insisted, yes, I really wanted to hear it. Reluctantly, he played it. But I'll never forget that response from him. It was my first awakening to the whole idea of racism. It made no sense to me, as a 12-yr-old. Still doesn't and never did. But hey, screw the haters. Rock on!

I overheard her saying, "I can't believe I have to teach a Spanish ni##er"! At the time I was too young/ innocent to understand the hate in the world.

Little Richard fired Jimi for being a showoff and trying to upstage him by playing the guitar with his teeth. Graham Nash witnessed the confrontation and gave an account in a recent interview. The earliest film footage of Hendrix was caught when he was in Little Richard's band backing the Isley Brothers on a cover of Shotgun on TV in '65. In '67 he covered Sgt Pepper live on stage with McCartney and Harrison in the audience just four days after they released Sgt Pepper. Jimi bought the album on a Thursday and had it rehearsed and ready to perform by Sunday.

The Beatles were the opening act for Little Richard when he played two shows a night for 12 days at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany in November 1962 about 3 months after Ringo joined the band. 16 year old Billy Preston was a member of Little Richard's band and that was when they first met him. George Harrison went to a Ray Charles concert six years later and didn't recognize him playing the organ until Ray was wrapping up the show and calling his band members out by name to take a bow. They got together backstage after the show and George ended up inviting him to Saville Row to jam with the Beatles on Let it Be and Abbey Road.

You can't fail to miss seeing Prince in this. Little Richard was 100% an inspiration for Prince

There would be no Prince without Little Richard. An amazing talent who made it in a era where black acts were treated horribly.

One of the pioneers of Rock & Roll for sure; glad you did a live video! Still waitin on ya to do a live video of “the Killer” Jerry Lee Lewis! Check out “What’d I Say” from the Ed Sullivan Show in 1969. The song is from 1957 and it’s part of a medley; the other two songs are very short snippets of the two songs you did react to audio only.

Little Richard was another person who broke through the racial barrier in music. He was still on the radio twenty years after his songs originally came out. Great dance music! Who can keep still when one of his songs is playing?!

It must have been truly amazing to have been alive when rock n roll first blasted its way into life, every song was amazing and took the next step forward for the genre, having people like Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Buddy and so on and so on improving rock n roll with every new recording. If I had a time machine I would go back to the early 50's and watch all this music develop over the years, those who were in their teens and 20's in the mid 50's really did have the best of all music right through until the end of the 60's
