The Amazing Little Richard

This is amazing to see.  It's Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, Oh, Rudy...."

If you're familiar with early period Beatles, you'll know that McCartney was heavily influenced by Little Richard.

A-whop bop-a-lu bop a-whop bam boom.

Here is some very rare footage of "Little Richard"  as a child, when he was just starting out in the music biz' ... from a movie with Van Johnson .... I think you will enjoy this one!  http://www.wimp.com/oldschool Thanks Ahmed.
