Little Richard film trailer "I am everything" 2023
Thanks to Adrian for telling me about this. Looks fantastic.
Check out the trailer for Little Richard: I Am Everything, an upcoming documentary about star Little Richard. The documentary features Mick Jagger, Billy Porter, John Waters, Tom Jones, and more. Little Richard: I Am Everything tells the story of the Black queer origins of rock n’ roll, exploding the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator – the originator – Richard Penniman. Through a wealth of archive and performance that brings us into Richard’s complicated inner world, the film unspools the icon’s life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions. In interviews with family, musicians, and cutting-edge Black and queer scholars, the film reveals how Richard created an art form for ultimate self-expression, yet what he gave to the world he was never able to give to himself. Throughout his life, Richard careened like a shiny cracked pinball between God, sex and rock n’ roll. The world tried to put him in a box, but Richard was an omni being who contained multitudes – he was unabashedly everything. Directed by Lisa Cortés, Little Richard: I Am Everything is produced by Robert Friedman, Cortés, Liz Yale Marsh and Caryn Capotosto and Executive Produced by Dee Rees. Little Richard: I Am Everything will be available on special-one-night-only theatrical screenings on April 11, followed by additional theaters and a digital release on April 21, 2023.

The Lurkers - Shadow 1977
This band we liked. (This clip is dubbed but you get the idea.) Particularly like the first single both sides (Shadow/Love Story). The first LP is good too. We saw them at the Brillig Arts Centre in Bath. It was taken over by skinheads who were a thing at that time. We threw stink bombs into the throng of I remember.

Lightnin' Slim I'm grown
Saturday 🌙night selection from 1957. In essence a reworking of I'm a Man but Lightnin' Slim transcends this with some wonderful added female interjections from an unidentified lady and a really swampy groove. Illustrated Lightnin' Slim discography
