Little Richard's band never got the credit it deserves -- two tenor saxophones, one baritone and one bass sax in unison is what gives his songs that heavy, driving sound.

As a lifetime lover of R&R this is one of the best, I am 80 now and love all the oldies, real music. The beginning of R&R music!! So many amazing talented musicians that made the sound we all love so much-- influenced many of today's great bands and guitar players.

[@d.shannon261]

It's been a great time to grow up in this music era. I'm 58 and my parents were hippies, so I heard so much music from most genres since I was born. My kids 18, 19, and 23, now collect vinyl. They love music, too. I just saw John Lennon interview where he was saying Whole Lotta Shakin' can't be improved which brought me to this video. It's fantastic🎉

This song can wake up the dead and shake them!

[@Music--ng8cd]

Had it played at my funeral, so there you go. We ain't crematin' Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

[@iVenge]

This is a study in how a performer works an audience. He starts out asking everyone to shake, almost as if he is asking their permission to stir them up. Then he begins the song and does exactly that. He then stops, and removes his jacket. At that moment, you can see in his face that he knows what he has done to that audience. He takes it all in, the raw energy of that moment, and then calmly walks back into the electricity, knowing that he is about to take them even further, and then uses their energy to go full speed ahead. It’s a precious, immeasurable moment of the youth culture of the time being absolutely captivated by this amazing artist, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything quite like it, even from James Brown or Jackie Wilson.

[@DONTWATCHTHATYEAH]

iVenge argree 100%. It’s like watching sermon and the congregation is being whipped into a frenzy. So powerful and awesome.

[@mikehurley1016]

I've seen many artists own a room like this... Little Richard was a master but this video does what is rarely seen: capture that uprising of energy between performer and audience. Maybe it's the intensity of the intimacy: this is a room with 200?

[@4jeanjs]

Richard drew from his musicality to perform from deep inside his soul. A transcendent performer, he called himself an “entertainer” but he owned the music and the audience.

[@SpeegBJ]

@@mikehurley1016 It's partly because the producers clearly let the audience get up and do what all audiences felt like doing but sometime weren't able to do. Being a teen on the scene on those shows brought me here.

[@SpeegBJ]

Some producers prohibited live audiences from getting up and doing what this fantastic audience was able to do. They're well prompted ahead of time to 'remain seated, no outbursts, etc.' In order for the recording to be effective sometimes. I lived in L.A. from '64-'67, being around live concerts and recordings. You can see many videos of audiences 'just sitting there' when not directed to do otherwise (always extremely frustrating for me to watch, but I get it)...and so THIS footage is exquisite; the spontaneity is superb and this film of Little Richard could be studied in sociology classes as to 'what people do when the music moves them no holds barred." RIP Little Richard. It was a long run, sir.

I saw him at the greatest rock and roll revival ever at the Omni theater in Atlanta in 1973. The line up included Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Bill Haley and the Comets, Shirelles, Chubby Checker and the King of Rock and Roll- Little Richard. Little Richard was the closing act and OMG what a show. After her worked the audience into a frenzy, he did a 20 minute.version of Good Golly Miss Molly. He proceeded to climB a 10 foot tall tower of speakers and continuing to sing and dance as he started taking off his clothes and tossing them to the audience, He finally got down to a tiny speedo. I looked back and there were at least 50 cops in face shields and riot gear who did not know what to do. RICHARD LEFT NO DOUBT IN ANYONE'S MIND THAT HE WAS AND STILL IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.

My GF and I were walking home from Ralphs at La Brea and 3rd St. A running limo was parked diagonally in a car lot on one of the corners. As we walked by, the window to the limo rolled down and Little Richard was waving to us with a big grin. Of course we smiled and waved back. One of those LA moments that stays in your memory 35 years later.

[@WINGGULLSEAGULL]

It's a show from the UK called "Don't Knock the Rock" in 1963, Little Richard said he's the King , the originator the architect & emancipator of Rock n Roll but he never said he was the inventor. Fat's Domino was recording since 1949 & playing since 1942 before Little Richard. As piano players they heard boogie woogie a popular style in the 1930's & 40's. Little Richard wasn't the first piano player to play standing up. In the 1940's there was a black boogie woogie pianist named Maurice Rocco who played & sang standing up & he was the blueprint & role model for Little Richard he must've seen him in the 1940's. Little Richards wild stage act set the standard for every rock n roll artist & everyone from Elvis & Jerry Lee to Prince & Michael Jackson all learned to rock n roll from Little Richard he was the man.

Around 16 years ago I had the privilege of seeing Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis at a show in Las Vegas. Without question it was the best Rock & Roll show I ever saw. These guys had hundreds of people standing up in the isles dancing and singing along with them. Little Richard came out on the stage in a blinding yellow/gold sequined outfit with a long cape. When he started pounding on the piano singing 'Good Golly Miss Molly' the place went absolutely nuts. He was without doubt the consummate performer...and sadly, we will never see anyone like him again.

Arlene Hermann I’m not sure of your definition of authentic. There are so many interviews of him talking about how he dressed up as a kid. I think that’s an authentic part of him. But it’s not really for us to decide what is authentic for him. Maybe LR would have liked being a gilded lily. Look at his interview with Joan Rivers (her last show), where he discusses his style.
