My wife and I saw him about 5 years ago. He was in a medium sized venue just outside Atlanta, and the place was only about 2/3s full. I was kind of ashamed of the fact that in his native state he didn’t pack the place, but still, it was a very enjoyable show.
I can tell you guys, he can flat out play the piano, and I’m not just talking about doing the flashy stuff. You can see a little of his skill when he does TV appearances, but when you sit through an entire show, you come away with a new appreciation of what a really fine musician he really is.
There was no pre-recorded music or lip synching at his show, just Little Richard and his band cranking out the tunes. A true original.
I have always given him credit as the real King Of Rock ‘n Roll.
