Caught Me Off Guard!..| Little Richard - Long Tall Sally/Tutti Frutti | REACTION

[@TheDivayenta]

Richard is the ARCHITECT of Rock and Roll. The Beatles worshipped and toured with him. It’s where they got the “ Woooooo!”

[@ivylasangrienta6093]

And they also covered Long Tall Sally.

[@thomastimlin1724]

They also sort of got the "Wooo" from the Isley Brothers as well on Twist and Shout.

[@MsAppassionata]

@@thomastimlin1724 Yeah but Paul really learned it from Richard. He met him back in Hamburg and Richard taught him that scream back there. Paul has sited him as a big influence.

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

@@MsAppassionata true facts!

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

Beatles are so overrated. Plenty of more talented artists who because they didn’t fit the certain mold the label’s wanted, were ignored after they made sure to steal whatever made them unique. .

[@Cynthia...]

Bill Haley and the Comets (some of them) are in the audience around the 2:56 minute mark.

[@cindybird3247]

LOL- sometimes Little Richard would sing the “oooooo” when he was just talking. He was fun!

[@chrispipes5451]

[@CBGB_1977]

Directly influenced The Beatles. 🤍

[@DJHolte]

Paul McCartney used to employ a Little-Richard-like "woo" in a lot of the Beatles' songs. And of course his flamboyance paved the way for people like Prince many years later.

[@baylusmorgan8375]

The Beatles toured as a opening act for Little Richard. Paul asked Little Richard to teach him how to do the "woo".

[@paulbakerma61]

And of course The Beatles covered this song.

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

If you look at the look Prince had during the 1999/Putple Rain era, it owes a huge amount to Little Richard.

[@mcook6005]

Another fun fact-- David Bowie (as a kid) wanted to be one of Little Richard's saxophone players.

[@joelilley6603]

Little Richard was one of the true pioneers of Rock. Back then almost everyone was an 'original', but Little Richard was a 'stand-out original.' I also noticed another original sitting at the tables, Billy Haley and the Comets. 😎

[@lawrencekelli]

Love how Bill Haley is sitting at a table rocking out.

[@mikecaetano]

Classic! Little Richard, RIP! Little Richard taught The Beatles how to "woooh" like that and they returned the favor by covering "Long Tall Sally". Little Richard was a singular figure in the history of rock and roll. When you're ready for more from him check out "Good Golly Miss Molly", "The Girl Can't Help It", "Keep a-Knockin'", "Rip It Up", and "Jenny, Jenny" along with many others. And for more music from the fifties in that style, check out Big Joe Turner "Shake, Rattle and Roll", "Flip Flop & Fly", and "Corrine, Corrina"; Larry Williams "Marie Marie", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "Bad Boy"; and LaVern Baker "Jim Dandy", "See See Rider", and "Tweedle Dee"; and Louis Jordan "Caldonia", "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby", and "Keep A-Knockin' (But You Can't Come In)" -- Fire!

[@yutehube4468]

4:37 what an absolute legend and one of the most important people in the history of music. This is ridiculously good! Look at his beginnings where he was working for Greyhound buses and someone was like "Hey man you can sing pretty good" and the rest is history. One of the most talented singers the world has ever seen and his music still has an impact today in 2022.

[@JoeYello]

I spied Bill Haley in the crowd sitting at a table. He was probably on the bill too.

[@JPMadden]

This is probably from the 1956 film "Don't Knock the Rock."

[@cindybird3247]

Little Richard was a showman for sure! A real ham- super talented!

[@marskeins]

RIP to the great Little Richard. I was heartbroken he has passed away. But man what great music he left behind. He inspired all!!!

[@thomastimlin1724]

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, when my son was 3 years old, we finished the tour, went outside on the plaza, speakers started playing Tutti Frutti. My son spontaneously started dancing like a crazy man, people stopped to watch. I never lmao so hard in my life. You had to be there...it was the epitome of what rock and roll was all about.

[@paulsheedy4650]

He was the ultimate out-there performer for his time. Fantastic performance and I'm bopping away again.😁👍🎶❤️

[@Trifler500]

This was considered really extreme for the 50's :)

[@Lexwell_Lavers]

He's the King. Micheal Jackson, Prince, James Brown, Mick Jagger, Beatles and many others imitate Little Richard. He's the original, those screams, howls, screeches..

He is known as "The Architect of Rock and Roll." and the Beetles started as an opening act band on his concerts long before they became world wide phenomenon.

[@holyspacemonkey]

Wooo-hoooo! The self-professed King and Queen of Rock and Roll! My grandpa recorded several of Little Richard’s early songs. He really hit it off my grandma and visited them a couple of times at the studio later in his career. ❤️ PS. This performance was actually pretty tame for Little Richard. (It’s from a movie.)

[@lanceflx63]

Little Richard IS the ARCHITECT of Rock and Roll!

[@lionelguilbert6493]

you have Bill Haley at the 1:57 time mark, with the ring of hair on his forehead. He really was one of the first one to introduce Rock-n Roll with his band The Comets and "Rock Around the Clock"...

[@TheClairem75]

Early rock n roll is so good. Imagine being a teenager in the 50’s and you were brought up on songs like How Much Is That Doggy In The Window. The world must’ve felt so grey & dull compared with hearing this for the first time. Like a shot of colour & life. I’m so envious of that generation who experienced the birth of rock n roll. I didn’t do too badly though, my generation got grunge & Brit pop so not all bad lol. My years of discovering music was years before KZbin was around otherwise I’d have my own channel with 3 subscribers 😂 Keep up the good work! 👍

[@siahyoung6335]

That's why the white artist the tried to remake his songs where unable to dim his shine... Theirs were dull and flat... Lol It's Dolly in the window

[@lgpsan]

Bob Dylan’s senior ambition from his high school year book was “to join Little Richard” When Bob was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame he acknowledged Little Richard in the audience and said he didn’t think he would be there without Little Richard.

[@kimberlyianaro3774]

Look up entertainment in the dictionary you'll find Little Richard's pic beside the definition. Absolutely one 0f a kind.

[@turbohorse1]

I did read that the original lyrics to Tutti Fruti were “Tutti Frutti good booty”. That’s what I sing to myself. Loved Little Richard!

[@hpb5495]

Saw Little Richard in 1971 at a big rock concert. Two bands didn't show up so he filled in and proceeded to steal the show! Up on top of the piano and everyone on the stage boogie-woogie time. He was awesome!

[@sinenominecc]

One can argue about details, but you have just witnessed one of the creators of the foundation of rock and roll.

[@v.j.3029]

It's funny the way it was shot when he was playing the piano with his leg up. It looked like he was, hummm... having an intimate moment with the piano, if you know what I mean,😉😂

Richard Penniman was a SUPER STAR. He helped get the Beatles get their start, while in the U.K, Little Richard had an entire Stadium and had the Beatles come as his BACK UP band! Oh yeah. Check out his latter album, "The Rill Thing." LP . . . "Freedom Blues!"

Man!! Still find it hard to believe my dad was the one who introduced me to musicians like Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Chubby Checker. Then had the audacity to back them up with Nat King Cole, The Platters and The Drifters. That Greatest Generation was just full of untold surprises. Plus, along with Rock & Roll, they also had Doo Wop and Bebop Jazz. What a legacy!!

Little Richard IS rock n roll. Huge influence on The Beatles and everyone else who came after him.

[@charlesfaulkner2883]

This was from a movie. The guy that introduces is Alan Freed who is generally given credit for coining the term “Rock n Roll”. One of the 3 guys shown at a table, the one with a curl on his forehead, is Bill Hailey (Rock Around The Clock)! Richard was an all time great, no question.

[@carollittle1059]

That was Bill Haley at the table with a curl on his forehead of Bill Haley and the Comets. Little Richard was out there, with the attitude, makeup and hair.

[@scottcarter8155]

I watched a you tube video called "before the Beatles were famous", it had a scene where Richard and Paul were at a piano and Paul tried the Wooo and Richard said he needed to be a little sharper. He did it again and Richard said you have the pitch right but you need more energy, so he did it with more energy and Richard said you got it, end of scene. I think it was the tour that Eddie Cochran died on, they brought in the Beatles to finish the tour, they were at the bottom of the list they didn't replace Eddie. So the story of Richard teaching Paul the wooo is true, there's video of it.

[@retroactive1autrey668]

I grew up on Little Richard, and my band covered his songs. What a MAN. Keep on keeping on, young Gentleman.

[@johnandrews3151]

The Beatles covered this song (Long Tall Sally) and got sued for not paying the royalties for recording it! In the court decision, they were ordered to record two more Little Richard songs and to pay Little Richard the royalties!

[@beriandavies2111]

Little Richard, a li'l understated in this performance. He's normally a lot more flamboyant. He was a force of nature. One of the fathers of rock n roll. This music is timeless, and it was great to see you boppin along.

[@Shrykespeare]

If I remember correctly, the cut-shot to the three gentleman at the table - the one in the middle, with the cowlick is none other than Bill "Rock Around the Clock" Haley.

[@TheCosmicGenius]

Little Richard could make you bop till you drop & twist till you pissed. And he got in trouble back in the 90s for saying so on American TV. He was an amazing performer, all the way around. He was the self-proclaimed Queen of Rock & Roll.

Oh yes Little Richard don't play.Love that man.

At 1:58 you see three men at a table the one in the middle with the curl is Bill Haley . Bill Haley and his comets recorded 'Rock Around the Clock' in 1954 . He was a very popular singer at the time.

Little Richard began his career at joints that were less savory than the club in this film. The original lyrics were, “Tutti Frutti, good bootie!” The rest of those lyrics were quite risqué. You can find them online. Fun fact: the big man seated at the table with the spit curl on his forehead is Bill Haley, who arguably released the very first Rock and Roll record.

When I was 17 yrs. I heard him sing fell in love with him and his music. Bought all his records and love to dance to his records followed his music and him till he sadly passed away.
