Little Richard: Self

Quotes 

  • Little Richard : I used to wash dishes at the Greyhound Bus Station. I was the only Jewish person in the kitchen washin' dishes. Everybody else was colored - but me.

  • Little Richard : Let it all hang out! With that beautiful Little Richard from down in Macon, Georgia. I want you all to know, that I am the King of Rock 'n' Roll! Let all the women folks say "Woooo!" Let all the men say "Uhhh!" On, my soul. We gonna have a good time tonight, ladies and gentlemen. And we gonna dedicate our whole show tonight to all of you, the black, the white, the red, the brown, and the yellow. Because I believe - I believe that we are God's bouquet for childrens of love.

    Little Richard : Saturday night and I just got paid, Fool about money, don't try to save, Heart says go go, have a time, Saturday night and I feel fine, I'm gonna rock it up, Wooo! I'm gonna rip it up, I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up, I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight...

  • Little Richard : Its too far back. Put the piano closer to the people. Push everything up to the people. I want everything closer. The amplifiers come closer to the people. The stuff isn't close enough to the people. Bring everything out closer to the people. The piano, drums, everything.

  • Little Richard : Why do you make so much noise? I'm gonna tell you the truth. Most colored people don't make that kind of noise.

  • Little Richard : A lot of the new people want to hear the originators. They say let us hear the real thing. Shoot, its just like if you been lookin' for a girl and you see a man, everyday you want to see the real thing.

  • Little Richard : [talking about Pat Boone's version of "Tutti Fruitti"]  He did a good version and you know after all for him to sing wop-bop-a-loom-a-blop-bam-boom that wasn't too easy. You know to fold your lips and pull them out and push them back and then throw it up again. That was kind of hard.
