Couple React To Little Richard

Rest in peace little Richard.
In honor of Little Richard, Tasha and I decided to take a trip back into the past and react to some of his most popular songs.
Hope you guys enjoy. Leave your comments down below.

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Such a tragic loss. But he would have wanted us to throw down in his honor. Here goes to a legend.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

CHEERS!!!

"Everybody knew Richard was gay. And no one cared". - Chuck Berry.

[@catherinebida2531]

God bless Little Richard. May he rest in peace. As an 80 year old white gal growing up in Detroit, I enjoyed so much of that era with great talent. Little Willie John, Little Eva, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and many more great singers.It was so much fun. My favorite group was that Penguin singing Earth Angel

[@claudeshells5480]

HE IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL, HE STARTED IT.

[@steveroberts7458]

the film 'predator' where they are flying to the jungle drop zone......this song blasting....brilliant😀👍 RIP

[@LalK2K23]

Yeah, had the same thought.

[@gamleskalle1]

Same thought here, got the film here now actually.

[@steveroberts7458]

the whole soundtrack to the film is brilliant......amazing to think the film is 33 years old

[@michaelloveland1330]

Little Richard taught us all how to ROCK, no matter what we looked like or whatever. Just tear it loose and tear it down! The Architect of Rock 'n' Roll.

[@americanaforever6725]

He’s the groundbreaker for rock and roll 🎸

[@TheStefan6969]

Ahhhhhhhh now there's a LEGEND who will definitely be missed!!!!! I pioneer in many ways!!!! 🤘❤️🤘

[@primitivochapa7837]

Without little Richard pushing the original envelope....there is no rock n roll...he taught others to play in a style no one's ever heard before

[@smittycal]

Little Richard was the OG adlib king. When the say he’s an architect, it’s because other artists “borrowed” his very prominent choruses and whooos and howls on the tracks. He wrote for some and inspired others. The Beatles opened up for him lol. He was a force, and a trailblazer. And that energy was off the top. A real legend.... oh and he’s very out there Rudy was a man, just saying haha. But it was coded. He was one that forefront of that movement as well. Didn’t really speak about his lifestyle but just quietly did his own thing. I can respect that too. Also check out his gospel music. It’s really good. RIP to a legend

[@shanesmith2853]

Whooooooooo! R.I.P. Little Richard ❤️

[@ttualumni10]

Inherently a truly gifted vocalist. No need for auto tune. Just straight talent.

[@curtm.1684]

So much of today's music is heard here in it's infancy

[@chainman100]

Thank God for Little Richard one of the founding Fathers of Rock n Roll music because without him music would not be as fun and wild with out him.

[@thomasgiles6991]

Keep a knocking was the first record I bought for my sisters 16th birthday. I love little Richard.

[@timavery99]

His songs are in tons of movies! Musical genius! We miss him. Great fantastic singer who never gave a shit! He let it all out!

[@ifcatshadthumbs...664]

Man that wall of saxes sound is as signature as his piano licks!!!!!!!

[@deitydam]

No rock-n-roll today without Little Richard.

[@j.c.a2872]

nice tribute; RIP Little Richard

[@alanwhetstone3922]

Thank you so much Little Richard the True KING OF ROCK!!

[@pancholefty5828]

Little Richard, Chuck Berry, buddy Holly, fats Domino, Vince Taylor.....love rock n' Roll. From France. La bise à vous.

[@mexton]

The True King of Rock and Roll

[@melissa2688]

My Father & Uncle Bill went to see Little Richard live back in the day at the Uptown Theater in Philadelphia. They just happened to be at the right time to see the early acts of rock & roll. They saw them all: Little Richard, Chuck Berry, James Brown & Famous Flames, etc. You name it, they seen them. Both are gone along Little Richard. They are ripping up in Heaven. Do some Doo Wop please!!! Frankie Lyman and The Teenagers are good. Take care and keep rocking!!

[@62impalaconvert]

The '50s were a fun decade for rock and roll because of the likes of Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis, etc.

[@punkassparker]

Little Richard was the true king of rock n' roll, glad to see people still appreciating his awesome music!

[@Xcris_crosX]

You should react to his performances. His piano playing skills were amazing. He was flamboyant and quite a character. Plus he was so freakin funny. SHUT UP!!!

[@brandonday2494]

Man the wildness, freedom, and power in that voice is incredible, especially if you think about that era. Just crazy.

[@TheDivayenta]

The girls went nuts for him!

[@stevenshelley9345]

RIP RICHARD ,GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY in the movies predator they play that song 😎

[@brod7501]

Long Tall Sally 1956 not 1957! Tutti Frutii - 55.... And yah dat piano!! Lil Richard - the originator - the architect of rock n rollin rhythm & blues soulin!!! The man who started it all! Swag n soul!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

I saw Little Richard in 1969 and then 30 years later. Richard played the piano. Gotta watch a live video. What a legend. I was 3 in 1957; wow, I’m old. Richard’s and James Brown’s hair was called a “process.” LOL. Bit of trivia: Jimi Hendrix played in LR’s band at one time.

[@ftjax]

Back when i was a teenager & little Richard came out with Long Tall Sally & slipping & a sliding my church ( Baptist) frowned on Rock music but i didn't. That made me enjoy all that music ❤ so much / i still do even though the musicians have departed. I must be wicked because when i hear an old Seeburg jukebox thumping i go nuts

[@andreamace3676]

This is what we danced to at all the dances we went to from early to mid 60s

[@thomaspalmieri6038]

Little Richard was the Michael Jackson of the 1950s - THE Mister Excitement!

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Little Richard HE DID IT HIS WAY

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

My mom has so many of his 45s from school. Spippin and Slidin was on the flip side of Long Tall Sally. It was on Specialty record label. I loved listening to them when I was in elementary school in the late 70s. He was genuinely a kind, brat guy and a FABULOUS musician. He will be missed.

[@douglasboldt8817]

I have this record, the original. Its recorded in Mono, not Stereo. It still sounds great! I have played it a parties in my basement a number of times over the years and everyone, young and old, will dance sing and shout.

[@whym6438]

Little Richard is playing a piano on this. Electronic keyboards like the Hammond organ and various electric pianos existed in 1957, but they were mainly jazz instruments. Rock/R&B/pop musicians didn't really start using them until a few years later.

[@gamleskalle1]

The devils music is the greatest, wink, wink.

[@rodrigomarquez7606]

RIP lil richard

[@raffaojeda]

Thank you for your recation, richard was loved around the world, in Mexico we have covers from his songs in spanish by mexican bands! Little Richard my favorite rock n roll pioner RIP.

[@davidpitt9528]

Richard was in a few Rock and Roll movies back in the day, him, Gene Vincent ,Eddie Cochran and Fats Domino were in a movie with Jane Mansfield called The Girl Can't Help it, it is kinds homie by today's standards but all us kids back then saw it more than once as it ghar Jane in it but believe it or not it was one of the first times we had our music in a film,I just watched it again the other night on KZbin Thank you for keeping the music alive

[@fraclarke6523]

What about Jerry lee Lewis ?

[@jestertlsodx9897]

You did it right. Starting it off with Long Fall Sally. Love that song. RIP Little Richard.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction I grew up listening to Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry. In Detroit in the 50's you could only find him on the "black" AM stations, took a couple of years to get on main stream (white) AM. On first hearing him it changed forever the music I listened to, you have no idea how different this was back then and how scandalous to our parents. A lot of radio stations banned him, but we could find the 45's in some record stores. Thanks for doing this homage. Both Richard and Lewis both destroyed the piano.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

We binged a bunch of his videos last night and you are absolutely right. He destroyed the piano. He was lookn like a wild man. Definitely a great performer.

[@glenkelley6799]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Now take a look at Jerry Lee Lewis, same time frame. These two broke the radio back then.

[@Matt..G]

This was great! I hadn’t heard the song “Keep A Knockin’ “ before. Great stuff! Nice tribute you two. Cheers 🤙🏼

[@allthingsnerd.4484]

Watch the movie "Christine" (Stephen King story, John Carpenter directed) to enjoy a clever use of "Keep a Knockin'", along with a bunch of other 50's rock n roll songs.

[@revampnation9492]

LR is the THE originator, innovator, the ARCHITECT of Rock n Roll

[@blainecole5452]

A very entertaining and fitting tribute to a one of a kind musician and entertainer. Thanks and best regards.

[@ronwood1220]

The innovator and originator. Without him no Jackie Wilson, no James Brown, no Michael Jackson.

[@OverkillVA]

Put your boogie shoes on, oh yeah!!! Ivory tickling level - Master.

[@matthewdrake4385]

Rock and roll was short, simple, catchy and was about having a good time. Richard rocked the pompadour with the pencil thin moustache with the stage outfits. That whole era is pretty much gone now, the only original rock and roller still around is Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@timavery99]

Wow! New facts I never knew about Little Richard. Great singer. Badass! I immediately smiled when he started singing. No way you can't smile!

[@Fibonaccisghost]

Little Richard is my hype music. I always feel great after listening to him.

[@oskarwilliamsson9898]

Saw the first two: "Long Tall Sally" and "Keep A Knockin" are from the Nashville re-cuts. That´s why you hear an electric piano. It was recorded 1976 I think.

[@davidpitt9528]

Saw him live in 1957,he put on a fantastic show, doing Rock and Roll and Blues,he was a great showman

[@timstewart9026]

Two points for brother T, 1. rock is a degeneration of rock and roll. That's the difference you've noted. 2. You did well to marry Tasha, hope you two share many happy years.

[@gustavomartinez4296]

Little Richard, invento el rocknroll, el es el verdadero dios del rocknroll.

[@shawnralph3210]

I like how you commented on how tutti frutti was talkin bout booty, because Richard on an interview said the original lyrics were Tutti frutti, good booty. Some other lyrics were, funny/inappropriate, such as, "if it don't fit don't force it"., " If you grease it' make it easy". Thank goodness they got a lyricist to clean it up a bit lol😂. Great video guys!

[@cdfdesantis699]

STILL loving this incredible innovator of the rock 'n' roll genre. Thanks for your reaction.

[@scottcarter8155]

He taught Paul McCartney how to do the Wooo. Saw Paul and Richard at a piano, not a keyboard, and Richard was telling Paul he had to be a little sharper, Paul tried again, Richard said he had the pitch, now he needed a little more energy. They had a Little Ricard on the Simpsons who said he taught Paul to do the Wooo so it was good to see a video of them actually doing it.

[@matthewwhite4761]

One of my father's favorite artist. Little Richard was an American treasure. An Icon of American music.

[@williamwoodringjr1680]

I was brought up with music and even though I couldn't get through college because of my ADHD and lack of focus I could always focus on music and genres

[@williamwoodringjr1680]

I want to thank the ones that liked my comment. I'm not going into detail about my thought process right now because nobody or anyone truly cares. Sorry for being a Debbie Downer.

[@williamwoodringjr1680]

People that I personally know just shove it aside like it is a joke.

[@andrewthomas3203]

i think i got carried away then i just went in into dance mode without relising love his music so a great loss to a great man and artist

[@andrewthomas3203]

how u all doing love ur vids rock on

[@nellywouters690]

Cool thank you... C'est agréable de voir des jeunes gents réagie de cette façon a de si enciens artistes disparu et qui on changer l''évolution de la musique et des chansons pour la jeunesses .🇦🇩🙏🕺🎵🎶🎤💯🔥🌈🌍👍👌💕🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jimmyraidjames]

Little Richard once fired ' Jimi Hendrix ' cuz Jimi was stealing the show ( true story) but gotta love Little Richard R.I.P. 😢

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Daaaannngg!!

[@TheStefan6969]

Oh Nobody could outshine him! If you tried you were gone!!! He was a showman's showman!!!!

[@jimmyraidjames]

@@TheStefan6969 Yup yup

[@Lustie]

I’m pretty sure he fired him for always showing up late and procrastinating lol not because he was stealing the show.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

The first amplified keyboard debuted in 1955. It was a Fender Rhodes commonly called Rhodes. It was gradually introduced into modern music towards the end of the 50s but in the 60s it was used more and more. Then of course it gained popularity and was heavily used in music from then on.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Thank you for this.

[@dr.questionable5717]

I think it’s amazing to see how much music evolved from the 50’s to present time. How this kind of music went as far as to inspire both rap and pop.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

I'm familiar!!! I'm not white, I'm Beige!!!! My wife tells me that all the time, anyway. I like what you said, Tasha, about the TIME this was released. If black people had 15 minutes to dance, rock out, and forget for a brief moment about the oppression, it was welcome! The parents huddled inside and worried while their kids danced, learned and worked their asses off to try and better their situation. Many black people died for this music!!! Shit, I don't want to bring this happy shit down, so I'll move on. My 3 favorite Little Richard Penniman tunes... Baby Face, Lucille, The Girl Can't Help It. My wife can't tell you her favorites cuz she don't know anything except HIS NAME!!! Yeah, I'm everywhere. I said it before," If it rocks, I'm probably into it", and Little Richard kicked a ton of ass!!! RIP Richard Wayne Penniman... You are so pretty and you are so loved!!! Without this man, would we even have had the Beatles? I was out on my deck last weekend and played a 6-pack of Little Richard for all my neighbors, whether they liked it or not. I then transitioned into Slayer, but that's what I do. What a showman. We'll never see anyone like him again. Tasha's right. Piano, Organ, Harpsichord... maybe a Moog, but I think this song pre-dates that as well. You guys ought to react to some Doo-Wop, Surfer Music... you know, old shit! At least you'd have 1 person leaving comments! I like a lot of that stuff. Peace guys... And thanks for doing this. Farewell to a GOD!!!

[@shezarae8827]

I wish you were doing these songs live. His personality really comes through in the live performances.

[@Jonni1027]

Great reaction guys! And yes definitely React to his old live performance videos

I love that Devils music shade!!!!!! Or shall we say light!!!!

[@Lfg117]

Heard 1950s live rendition of "Good Golly Miss Molly." L'il Richard on piano: 🔥. Chill bumps: A whole azz vibe. I love doo wop & don't remember AM radio music b4 1967 (tho I heard it for a few yrs beforehand). For my money, old school bros who grew up sangin' in church or on the corner (doo wop) r the(e) legends. Their blues, soul & R&B begat funk which begat rap & hip hop. 1950s-1970s: Tightest harmonies & vocals, ever. Not to mention the R&O the 1940s-1980s African-Americans overcame. They altered global culture. #Heavy

6:36 😅 Richards shows were really wild & he was such a performer in the auditorium show he tore of his shirt & threw it to the crowd who tore it up

[@thomasgalanek3950]

Godfather of rock-and-roll is Bill Haley & the Comets and Chuck Berry also Little Richard and Fats Domino and Bo Diddley. You should listen to Larry Williams play his music sound like Little Richard... 😊 1950's

Great video y’all! He actually said he hadn’t heard a little Richard song? What? What cave have they been keeping you in? The man was lit. On fire every piece of music he did.

[@thistlegal2154]

You too are so cute.. and YOUNG! LOL love your reactions, really love the variety of gebres you provide. I feel like the intro to Keep A Knockin should be my theme life walk in the room song..you know, like Peter Griffin got from the genie? LOL

Please dive into his catalog I will give you one my favorites, "I saw her standing there". Too good.

[@papawjohn9588]

First of all, you two make a great looking couple. I grew up during R&R infancy, having graduated high school in 59. Most early rock featured piano and horns, especially the sax. I much prefer that. You can't sit/stand still during his music. There are B&W videos of LR performing some of the old tunes.

[@gamleskalle1]

Keyboard got popular in 86 often heard in music back then.
