This was sent to me with the following intro:
FOR ALL OF YOU LITTLE RICHARD FANS OUT THERE, THIS WILL BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF JUST WATCHING HOW HIS TALENT SHOWED THROUGH AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE.
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 some
movie with Van Johnson .. click on link below:
- The kid, regardless of whether it is really Little Richard - is totally amazing and fun to watch work through that boogie classic "Caledonia"
- But, really, it's gotta be Little Richard - doesn't it? Anyone have any backstory on this? I will look more into when I get some time over the next couple of days...
