Much of what we know and appreciate about popular music today comes from the music and performances of Richard Wayne Penniman, known to the world as Little Richard. He’s been described as the “Architect of Rock and Roll,” and for good reason; his early work influenced several of his contemporaries, including Elvis, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix, who even served as the guitarist in his backing band for a time. Little Richard’s charismatic showmanship, frenetic piano playing, and unique, raspy vocal style made him a celebrated star and pioneer of the early rock and roll era. This documentary goes all-in on the man and the legend and provides a comprehensive and engaging tribute to a key figure in the development of American music.
