"Little Richard" as a child

Whether you care for  this type of music or not, the child's piano playing is remarkable and worth hearing.

REMEMBER LITTLE RICHARD? THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.  IT'S AMAZING TO SEE                      
HOW TALENT SHOWS THROUGH AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE. 
This is Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, oh, Rudy."
If you're familiar with early period Beatles, you'll know that McCartney was heavily influenced by Little Richard.   
A-whop bop-a-lu bop a-whop bam boom.
  
Here is rare footage of "Little Richard" as a child just starting out in the music biz' ... in some 
movie with ... (wow this is reaching back there) ...Van Johnson!

Thanks Norman M


I received the following comment today informing me that this "is not" Little Richard     
This is not Little Richard. This is Sugar Chile Robinson in the 1946 film "No Leave, No Love"
