Little Richard is one of the greats of early rock & roll.

Songs include: Blueberry Hill, Lucille, Good Golly, Miss Molly, Rip It Up, Tutti Frutti, Keep a Knocking, Hound Dog, Jenny, Jenny, and Long Tall Sally. A film by D.A. Pennebaker, one of the foremost proponents of direct cinema, a style of filmmaking that favored the immediate recording of reality in as unobtrusive a manner as possible.
