Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) Little Richard How good is this? "Little Richard" as a child performer This is amazing to see. It's Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, oh, Rudy...." A-whop bop-a-lu bop a-whop bam boom! ... from some movie with Van Johnson .. www.wimp.com/oldschool/

That is so neat, Chips. Watching his hands literally just "play" on the keys with his fist or rolling the fingers...that's natural..not trained nor taught piano...that's just having an "ear" for it.
Amazing!!!

This is not Little Richard who would be 13 years old in 1945-46 when this Van Johnson film, No Love. No Leave was made/released. The 5 year old piano player is Frank Sugar Chile Robinson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Robinson_%28psychologist_and_musician%29Here is the IMDB source: www.imdb.com/title/tt0038779/Too much floating around the Internet that is false but it so easy just hit the SEND button and keep the falsehoods traveling all over the world. Nothing against Little Richard but Robinson should be acknowledged for this movie role.

Thank you Grant.
The link came from one of my weekly visits to a particular source and being honest... I don't check them.
I go on the proviso that if I enjoy them - then most others will.
However... that being said the news boards of this forum are checked and as far as I know... right up to date.
It was good of you to clarify the situation, thank you for that.
Why not consider joining us?
