PENNEBAKER HEGEDUS FILMS

When I heard that Little Richard, one of the four rock legends who had influenced the British rock scene (the Beatles originally opened for Little Richard) were appearing together in Toronto, I knew we had to film them. A flamboyant Little Richard, hair styled three inches high with pomade, appeared on stage in a mirrored jumpsuit and belted out his signature hits including: “Bama Lama Bama Loo”, “Tuiti Fruiti,” and “Lucielle” mesmerizing the audience and cementing his reputation as one of the Kings of Rock and Roll.
