When It's Time To Stop ...

[andy-hughes]

Even legends should be aware, and gracefully step aside, and avoid this kind of thing -



Little Richard is clearly miming both his playing and his vocals.

[douglas9401]

It's showbiz.

[andy-hughes]

It is Douglas - but even showbiz should allow its legends to retain their dignity.

He looks like a waxwork!

You've chosen a poorly synched video of that 28 year old celebration.

When It's Time To Stop ... ?

Stop. What very good advice. Fancy going on since 2011 with a non stop charade of reality. Tut.

[andy-hughes]

Togo - // Fancy going on since 2011 with a non stop charade of reality. Tut. //

To whom is that addressed please?

[andy-hughes]

Mamya - // You've chosen a poorly synched video of that 28 year old celebration. //

When the piano starts playing before Richard's hands hit the keys, that's not poor synching, that's called miming.

[andy-hughes]

Tilly - // He looks like a waxwork! //

I don't think it's a secret that Richard had some 'work' done.

[Mamyalynne]

I prefer my video - have to excuse me, back to my Busby Berkeley films.

I've watched it twice now and have to disagree with the assertion.

He whooped and hollered in a live stylee to my ears and eyes.

Have a look at the start - the piano sounds before his fingers touch the keys.

[Togo]

I like the way he rolls his eyes in sync with his curley hair.

[Fitzer]

Well, having watched both videos, in one everything appears to be in sync and in one it doesn’t. In the out of synch version there appear to be several bits of dialogue missing as well. As such, and bearing on in mind it was the thick end of 30 years ago my money is on Little Richard and he’s unlikely to repeat the performance come what may. https://youtu.be/AK_jm3Hz1Wk

//I like the way he rolls his eyes//

Oooh no,gives me the heeby-jeebies!! ;-)

[Barsel]

andy trust me and Mamya, in the video she has put on, that is definitely live. The video you put on isn't even out of sync, it's a live performance with a different version of the song. No idea why this would have been done, but I would say it would be impossible for Little Richard to mime his songs.

I'm getting a synching feeling.
