I liked it that Craig gave him full acknowledgement as the architect of rock n roll and even did a little bow when he greeted him.

[@rojava1619]

Craigy ferg has a vast knowledge of music for sure

[@SeamusMcGillicuddy0]

R.I.P. Richard, the true King of R & R. You’ll always be missed !❤

You can tell Little Richard was such a sweet man & fun to hang out with 😄. Rest In Peace Little Richard Architect Rock and roll🎹🎼🎤

[@tina8796]

yes, can you imagine. I would have loved to have met him

[@fifermcgee5971]

Good gentle heart.

[@dsheff7705]

THAT IS A BAAAADDDDD JACKET RICHARD HAS ON! THAT MAN REALLY KNEW HOW TO DRESS! AND DRESS WELL!!!

[@Pashasmom1]

We recently lost him, and you hardly heard about it. That's terrible, after all he contributed.

[@novamuziq2284]

Because he chose God …. They don’t want to promote that

[@lanaofficiel4042]

​@@novamuziq2284 Your right. The entertainment industry is demonic. Little Richard denounced all that. He was an evangelist later in life and the media demons never talk about that, but you best believe that Little Richard left this Earth a changed man and more importantly, a SAVED man.

[@NevadaBoss]

One of a kind...there will never be another. And no, he never received the money or the accolades he earned...the hard way. RIP to the Architect of it all.

[@leilaniLA]

Yes and Elvis never thank the Architect.

[@tina8796]

sad. but true

[@natalee217]

True, a shame

[@britturk123]

He won a big law suit so he got some back even if not the full amount.

What a beautiful man Little Richard was. Such a genius!

[@EphemeralProductions]

LMAO! "i don't know what oven it was but it sure was cookin!" Too funny

[@tablature6121]

I saw Little Richard live sometime after this or thereabouts. I think he said he was 73 at the time. Big fan all my life and he did not disappoint. Still the great entertainer, singer, and showman. RIP Little Richard. And thanks for the upload. Big thumbs up.

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

Little Richard has always been an inspiration to me. This is a man who had the talent, the energy, the sense of humor and the raw chutzpah to become the star that he is. To me, there have been imitators but no-one has duplicated his influence on music and culture - and yet he was as southern down-home as anyone could be. He could sing a uptempo song with frenetic energy and a slower, softer song with an unmatched soulfulness. His voice was like a well-played tenor saxophone. I get gooseflesh every time I hear him song. I am grateful that he was in the world and that he lived a long life.

[@tina8796]

Me, too ! he was an endlessly interesting person. He had a joyful presence. I'm glad I knew of him and his music. I just love watching his interviews. He can definitely captivate a person and hold their attention

[@michaelreidperry3256]

Thank you, Macon, for letting Richard get out of town alive. He loved you for it.

[@garfunkle5447]

They really don't make'em like they used to. His mind still sharp to recall such events that happened in his youth. Amazing

[@JoshLooperMusic]

One of my goals after getting deep into the golden era of rock and roll during the late 80-90s was to see all these Kings of the original rock and roll era play live. I will always regret not seeing Little Richard. He was a treasure

[@beatricewoods8377]

His interview never disappoint love him

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Great interview, I never was a big fan of Little Richard's singing, but always fun to listen to him talk. A great showman. RIP Richard.

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

Compared to the other founding fathers (Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis) he had the best voice

[@Bluzian74]

You kind of have it backwards no? He's famous for his singing voice, not for his whacky talking. It's all a show eh? He wasn't really like how you see him on TV in real life. But his voice!! That guy could sing the phone book! wow.

[@pifflepockle]

@@Bluzian74 That shit goes through me. LUCIIIIIIIILE!!!! Magic

[@frankensteinlives5451]

I would've loved to have Little Richard tell me to shut up. Lol.

[@gentillygirl545]

I would blush.

[@mikeborunda9877]

SHUT UP.

[@maynard5955]

Love hearing that history and Little Richard is so funny

[@roycey32]

That was VERY disrespectful of Prince. Especially considering he owes his whole style to this Legend.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

From Prince's Rolling Stone interview 2004: "When I meet with a label now, they already know they're not going to be owning anything. Maybe at one time they could get Little Richard for a new car and a bucket of chicken. We don't roll like that no more." Simultaneously taking a shot at the record industry and marginalization of segregation. Little Richard was more concerned that we know he's vegetarian.

[@evielopez4776]

RIP~ Mr. Richard Penniman💕🇺🇸💕🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🎶

[@lorrainetavares1753]

I agree: very disrespectful: not impressed with Prince (even though I loved his music): Little Richard was a total, true gentleman & a massive star in every sense of the word!!! My dad & I both loved him to bits: they are both in Heaven now!!! 😇📖👼💙💖👑💎👑💎

[@natalee217]

Love Prince, brilliant musician but he was not above shading other greats

[@silvermist1216]

Why would Prince be so mean to Little Richard? Little Richard clearly influenced him in all things.

[@DENIEL381]

A VERY TRAGIC LOSS TO THIS SPECIAL MAN. RIP BROTHER.

[@jamirimaj6880]

two guys who are GOATS of their respective industry having a nice, great chat 👍

[@roccosophie6498]

It must have been very cool to know and be friends with Little Richard. He always seemed as genuine as a human could be. And a hell of a lot of fun to be around. "SHUT UP!" :-)

[@tina8796]

exactly

[@davidmartrano1549]

His was a beautiful man. They all revered him. The Beatles, especially Paul, Mick, Bowie. Yes he was definitely the architect of Rock& Roll? Just think, Hendrix, Billy Preston, James Brown, Joe Tex were all in HIS band. Good golly miss Molly. Chew on that for a while??? One of a kind, there will never be another!

[@alexanderobenza2209]

When ACDC was looking for a replacement of Bon Scott, they selected Brian Johson among several singers who auditioned for the job. The reason: He sounded very much like Little Richard. This showed the immense popularity of Little Richard all over the world.

[@magic3061]

I'm going to truly miss this legend..r.i.p

[@abevillanueva1974]

The Originator himself! I could listen to him all day, bruddah is hilarious! And, very smart!

[@MarkZook]

I truly believe Little Richard was a genius. And he was definitely among the very best of the greatest early rock and roll musicians.

Man, I remember watching him as kid in the early 70's, with my moms and thought he looked strange. Never knew about artist's and their gimmick or brand as a kid. But man he paved the way for so many legends. Rest in peace. Mr. Penniman.

[@ThunderAppeal]

Jimi Hendrix. Otis Redding. James Brown. The Beatles. Rolling Stones. You can see where Prince got his act from. Countless and countless and countless number of super stars.

[@melinda82]

Bob Dylan adored him and started out wanting to be Little Richard.

There truly is a great gulf between the truly talented and the mediocre , today too many are ready give a standing ovation to the latter, and this encourages more of the same . Little Richard was an innovator , and a brave one , a genuine star of high order who by contrast deserved fully his every accolade.

Little Richard took Prince's words out of context. This is what he said to Rolling Stone: "When I meet with a label now, they already know they're not going to be owning anything. Maybe at one time they could get Little Richard for a new car and a bucket of chicken. We don't roll like that no more." - Prince, Rolling Stone, 2004

Beautiful man. 😢

[@brenthandycts131]

He went back and forth from being a straight evangelist. I guess this was one of the times he left it

[@wooyyeah]

Prince will never admit he copied this dude here. Little Richard is the inventor and founder of Rock, hence every awesomeusic that came along.

[@revekat2053]

He also won’t admit to copying Jimi. ..

@@revekat2053 True that

[@jamelfrye2133]
