Gettig a started at a young age. Little Richard early days

[T1 Terry]

This one is from Eddie the Bush Rat & Max the wonder dog




You have to see this!

Watch how he uses his fists and elbows and doesn't even look at the keys when he sings! This is amazing to see. It's Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, Oh, Rudy...." 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...& Keenan Wynne

G'day Terry and all,

Seemslike I got it wrong! Sorry folks.

Seems like it's not Little Richard but a dude named (then) Sugar Chile Robinson.
