Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, Oh, Rudy...." A-whop bop-a-lu bop a-whop bam boom. Here is some very rare footage of "Little Richard" as a child, when he was just starting out in the music biz' ... from a movie with Van Johnson ... http://www.wimp.com/oldschool Glenn

Hey, either way, that is pure talent and plenty of showmanship to boot! Makes me feel bad when a 10 year old boy can play better than me! Thanks for posting this!!!
