The Little Richard Story
director: William Klein actor: Little Richard
Klein goes on the hunt for Little Richard, the legendary ‘Architect of Rock and Roll’, who quit show business in 1957 at the height of his fame to become an evangelist. Richard was then lured back to secular music in the 1960s and 70s, but the excesses of stardom led him to a second retreat from the stage. For years he struggled to reconcile his religious calling with his flamboyant rock-and-roll persona, and at the time of filming, Klein finds Little Richard selling ‘Black Heritage Bibles’ for a Nashville couple. Sensing that his image is being exploited, Richard quits his sales position and deserts the film. But Klein turns this into an opportunity to reconstruct Richard’s personality through the words of his family and friends in his native Macon, Georgia, and to celebrate his status as a cultural icon by filming scores of Little Richard impersonators and adoring fans in Hollywood.

摇滚乐是怎么来的呢?在片中我们看到摇滚乐的历史,也许你相信摇滚乐与美国南方黑人在采棉时所唱的采棉歌有着密不可分的关联,而接着过渡到福音歌曲、灵魂、乡村、爵士、蓝调经过时间的推演形成现在的摇滚乐风潮。这个单元带领乐迷重温摇滚乐的第一个黄金时期,埃尔维斯普里斯莱、巴迪霍利、小理察、杰瑞李刘易斯。迪克克拉克回忆“美国舞台”的起源和一段青少年偶像及扭扭舞等舞曲横扫乐坛的时期。这其中也让人感受到,摇滚乐不只是一群可爱的白人男孩在学猫王而已。摇滚乐在美国本土所掀起的风潮和它所带动的影响力,值得乐迷欣赏。
