This is why Little Richard is a national treasure.

CLASSIC LITTLE RICHARD!

But you could tell he was on the sauce back then. WOOOOO!

There are few things more entertaining than Richard in full effect, as it were.

He 'taught everybody everything they know/ knew, don't cha know', and he ain't gonna let a little Christian thing like humility get in the way of a good story.

He comes across like the stoned lovechild of a hellfire preacher and Liberace, and more entertaining than both.

I gotta give ya props for introducing me to the documentary film

The interviews with his girlfriends are just,,,,,trippy to say the least

Harlepolis said:

What film?

Harlepolis said:

Yeah I remember one girlfriend kept talking about him "shaking his process" and I'm thinking, huh?

I figured it out eventually different times!

Dance said:

I think it's just called Jimi Hendrix.

NDRU said:

That was the normal one take heed to the British one(the drugged one ) - Uncle Neal knows her name I bet,,,,,since he loathes her

Different times, indeed.



This the film I'm talking about.

I would say its the finest documentary film about a public figure,,,I would rank it right up there with Malcolm X' docu-film that came out in the same year(1973 I think).

Dance said:

I believe it's from this...



...1973 documentary.

He's always wanted to be this big star. But you know I never got a chance to see him after he made it!? They would never let me come back. I would say, 'Whyyyy? What did I dooooo?' I had somethin' to tell him.

Good clip.

Going on your description ( )...




...I'm guessing it's Finess's girlfriend , Pat (why won't she STFU!) Hartley.

The more flattering b/w photo is from the WarholStars collection.

Some say there was beef between Rich and Jimi.

Some issue with money and Rich giving Jimi the boot

Dance said:

I wouldn't be supriced.

Lil' Rich was a BEAST on his band. Fining them on every false breath,,,he was a bigger tyrant than JB ever was,,,and like JB too, he never took kindly to those who try to outshine him on stage.

Uncle Neal - You're WORSE than those Yoko Ono hating Beatles-cult Whats her problem, though?

Harlepolis said:

Mr. Penniman didn't want anybody in his band that was "prettier" or attracting more spotlight than him.
Therefore, Jimi was on a short leash.

And Pat Hartley?...
Try and sit through her ramblings on the Rainbow Bridge flick.

My main memory of this film - other than some of the awesome live Hendrix footage and the preachings of the Reverend Penniman, anyway -

Fayne Pridgin. Listening to her talk in that film is like your mad, stoned sister telling you what she gone done for forever and a day . She's cute how she talks about Jimi, and she clearly loved him in a way, but maybe a little less Fayne and little more Jimi on stage might have helped imo ...
