There is an old movie about Lil Richard on youtube . I have seen it today and it is amazing ! I wish Netflix wouldnt make a movie about him as they may skip spiritual journey of Little Richard . Most of those Netflix movies are kind of evil , about crime , drugs etc... not much movies about people who have given their lives to Jesus Christ like Little Richard did .

Little Richard was the best performer I have ever seen. I saw him in the 60s at Epstein's Saville theatre (an unknown Elton John was the warm-up act). He took the place apart. His 1964 TV show recorded in Britain (it's on KZbin) is a must-watch for Richard fans. However, I also saw him at the rock'n'roll festival at Wembley Stadium in the early 70s where he did less well. He stood on the piano and did a kind of burlesque striptease which went on for ages. The audience was full of die-hard Richard fans who began to lose patience and started to boo. I could not believe it. He had more talent in his little finger than most other performers, yet he was throwing it away. I keep trying to purge that performance from my mind.
@marknowlin8356 Жыл бұрын
Those are fascinating memories, and thank you for sharing them. In the "rock and roll revival" of the early '70s, I think Little Richard and many of his '50s contemporaries were put on the spot a little. They themselves had changed personally, of course, and so they were not the young revolutionaries they used to be. And of course the times had changed dramatically. I think they were put in the difficult position of having to choose whether to present themselves as curio shoppe artifacts and mimic their greatest hits note for note (if they still could) or take a risk and express themselves as the persons and artists they had grown over the years to become. Rick Nelson's "Garden Party" famously tried to put words and music to the dichotomy they felt.
@kevinmcmahon2491 Жыл бұрын
@@marknowlin8356 A very good observation and well put. I remember the British rock 'n' roll singer, Marty Wilde saying that he had tried to move into more mainstream music as he grew older, but his audiences kept requesting his old hits,. One of them was his cover of Dion's 'Teenager in Love'. He felt absurd singing it in his advancing years but he realised he had no choice. He wasn't in a position to refuse. Some more successful singers have been in the position of being able to continually reinvent themselves and carry their audiences with them and, sometimes, attract new audiences. Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Paul McCartney, Cliff Richard, Georgie Fame, Helen Shapiro, to name just a few, did it. Jerry Lee kind of did it with his increased country repertoire. Little Richard was, of course, still singing his brand of rock 'n' roll/gospel/soul and hadn't really moved far away from his original style. I think he would have found it difficult to move but, in any case, he had no need to. The camp, burlesque stuff had been always been hinted at with him, but he brought it into the main part of his act in later years, to his detriment, I felt. I will look up the lyrics of 'Garden Party'. Thanks for drawing it to my attention.
