OMG! I just watched this movie twice while it was on TV ONE and I love it soo much. I had seen about three or four times before but this time, I was ready for the music and Leon. lol

My FAVORITE SCENE is when Little Richard realizes that Pat Boone is re-recording his songs and that he's making little money on them. And he starts recording "LONG TALL SALLY" like two steps slower than how he eventually recorded it and Bump is like "speed it up" and he does it one beat faster. Then, we see Pat Boone recording and then, it flashes back to Little Richard and he's like "I can do it faster" and he just gets it! And Bump and the other people in the booth are going wild!! OMG! I love that scene. And Pat Boone not being able to catch up is hilarious!

It's really ashame that great singers like Little Richard, hell, all the Black singers at that time were screwed out of soooo much money.

**Damn, those sweet memories**

My favorite scene is when teenage Richard was in church confessing, then all of a sudden the piano starts to play by itself. He starts playing on it and singing something about a big thighed woman when the preacher see's him. Really funny.

I just saw that part of the movie last night. As Little Richard's manager explained him, the white kids would have Pat Boone on their record player when Mom and Dad were home, but they would be hiding Little Richard's record under their pillow. Without Pat Boone, they might have never heard Little Richard.

Music, among other things, was blatantly segregated back then, as opposed to the subtle segregation we have today. Considering the times, the seccessful black artists were doing pretty well, and Rock and Roll contributed to bridging the racial divide.

As I once heard Little Richard, himself, put it; you had Rock and Roll, which was white people singing the songs of black people, and you had R & B - Real Black.
