You don't have to be a Christian to relate to this song. I live in LA Ca, I see it every day. Even when I was homeless I would listen to this song and be grateful to be alive
All that he overcame through the power of God, strong everything. Glory to Jesus.
Forget Elvis. Little Richard is the true King of Rock and Roll.
Richard was in his own league, no competition. Especially when he takes ya to church! RIP legend.
Richard was a close friend of mine. I remember him not necessarily as the Architect of R&R but as one of the kindest and humble celebrities I ever knew. I miss his prayers at the end of each of our phone calls. He was an amazing witness for his LORD and Savior,
JESUS CHRIST!
Proverbs 16:3.
Really! 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏽
How in God's heavenly name can anyone thumbs down this performance?
Haters everywhere. Atheists are angry
i know right. must b rich and stupid.
Someone who has no empathy or judgmental.
Just children of the DARKNESS! THEY WILL PUT THEIR THUMBS DOWN!
But God can rescue them too if they give God a chance! If they have a praying momma or GRANDMA; they will be PULLED INTO GOD'S KINGDON TOO!
Little Richard a born-again Christian, being himself here! God bless him.
When you can sing....you can sing...souls...gospel...rock and roll...country....R&b...you name it...he could sing it.
As a lady said once. "Your worse is Somebody's Better."
To the 37 dislikes y'all wish y'all could sing like this and probably are non believers in God but may God have mercy on you all
His singing never truly recognized. He can sing anything.
I never realized he could really SING like this.....his pop tunes didn't allow for it, an amazing voice..🙏
he's the God of everything music.
Are you kidding? Little Richard's singing was known and loved by some of the most famous people in the world.The Beatles,Elton John,Rolling Stones,Jimi Hendrix all were fan of his.You must be very young to say such a thing.
@@partslig123 you misunderstood.. .. I meant the slowed down tempo and arrangement that allowed for us to truly hear the exceptional tone and artistic styling without the fast paced pop songs such as tootie fruitie. He was an undeniable talent whatever he was singing.....
Too bloody true girl! Little Richard had a fabulous voice. I wish he had gone to record an album with a producer like George Martin that could have highlighted his great great talent. It seems like his early studio recording were his best and after that his live performances were better than his studio recordings. You know that saying "can't see the wood for the trees". Little Richard had a god given natural talent.
He made the bestest decision to live for our Lord Jesus while he was still alive. God is good for He can surely change a man!!!!!!!!!!!
I thank my God for his saving power,he never lost his faith in God, God is married to the back sliders, he's God of a second chance,such a beautiful testamony of how God came into his life saved him from a world of sin please listen to his firey testamony it will bless your soul,if you are struggling with any adictions in your life please listen to his testamony of God's saving grace, God bless you all in Jesus 😘❤️
I loved little Richard's music ,I wasn't into Elvis had all of richards records my pals would call me Rickie to tease mewhen I came to the USA I got to meet him. Then when I was in my 40s next concert both my son's came with me to see him. And he was still the best singer it was a really bad day for me then and I cried that day but I have my memo rip richard
I am not religious but when black people sing, I know that there's is something greater than myself and it's a part of me. Right now, tears are rolling down my face and they won't stop. Richard was amazing. May he rest in power among the ancestors. By the way, he really sounds a lot like the great Otis Redding, doesn't he?
It's because he inspired Otis Redding... James Brown and Wilson Pickett and Sam Cooke, too... RIP LR
He does sound like Otis esp. On a video where they inducted Otis Redding in the Hall of Fame and he did the introduction. I was like, WOW he sounds like Otis.
@@brod7501 That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
God bless you Shakka Musa.
God never called ANYone to be religious
God doesn't expect from us what He ain't
We MUST be SPIRITUALly born again
THAT
Was a COMMAND
NOT
a request
I'm so touched by his life story, his honesty and shameless pride in CHRIST!
He was a remarkable personality and devoted to his family and sincerely a caring person all his life.
His transition gives me the ultimate faith that THE LORD GOD knows every man's heart and HE can "change" anyone.
Happy for his blessed soul and his holy life in CHRIST.
I loved LR he played one of his last concerts in Hawaii wt Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry in the 90s and he had his bodyguards take me out of my seat to meet him, because my Aunty was in line trying to have a old 50s record signed for me and he wanted it, i offered to give it to him for free, but he paid me 600 dollars for it anyway. I told him that my Uncle had opened up for him in Hawaii in the 50s and that he was sick but still made it to see him concert, so Mr Richards had him go get him and He told the whole crowd to bow their heads to pray for him. I am forever moved and a fan for his giving his time and having absolutey due respect of power of Gods promise of healing.
He was a strong and smart man he fought a good fight them demons thought they had him but he called on JESUS . Thank you JESUS for your grace and your mercy Rest In Peace brother Richard
Amennn
First time I've seen Little Richard without all the glamour.
I am so proud of Little Richard. He is resting in the arms of God now.
I AM ALSO SO PROUD OF LITTLE RICHARD HE MADE IT INTO HEAVEN HE'S A PICTURE OF WHAT GOD CAN DO, AMAZING
@@monicabell4468 that he is
I liked your comment 'cuz' I'm a Walton too.
@@Iazzaboycewow ! Where from?
How do u know?
Do not remember this performance, but he was sincere here. Richard Wayne Penniman now walks those golden streets.
Yes Lord I pray that he is. I pray he has his wings now!
AMEN AND AMEN
He was God OF MUSIC
Amen Amen. Amen
Love Little Richard sing this beautiful song
No body can do this hymn justice like little Richard rip my brother
Unbelievable, how remarkable and incredible is the change that God can do.
I am so happy that God spoke to my heart and I became born again Christian. I will never leave you Lord .
Not only was Little Richard the true King of Rock N Roll, He was right up there in the Gospel Department as well! Beautiful song!
Right on so very beautiful.
him and elvis were the only 2
@@clementchabernaud Yes, I agree, both Richard and Elvis were friends and they were two spirit filled Southern gentlemen and both of them were gifted Gospel singers. Little Richard was a talented Preacher of the Gospel and he had excellent knowledge of the Bible, he could quote Scriptures like NO OTHER. Rest in Glory, Little Richard, you have definitely earned your Crown of Glory, Pastor Richard.
I like ritchard but is only one king of Rock & roll and its Elvis.
I am so proud of Little Richard .God given voice.Great talent.
I have been falling in love with Richard since i have been hearing his testimony these days. I feel to hug him. Nothing sweeter than Jesus. I think about it often too. My new favourite song.
Seriously has their ever been a voice this good? What a performer
Amen
None better!
How incrediable it would be to hear LITTLE Richard and Elvis's voices together.Elvis really admired little Richard so much.
Little Richard was BORN to sing Gospel Music. He had an annoited voice. Rest in Peace Mister Richard Pennimen.
I thank God in Jesus name for this testimony of Little Richard, as he said in another testimony serving two masters you will love one and hate the other ( the struggles are real no matter what they are) in song.... Help us Father God deliver us from ourselves and others!
The Incomparable Little Richard was a Person who inspired me to keep moving forward in hard times. I love that brother in Christ; I believe he is being celebrated in Heaven. Hope to see you when I get there.🙏
RIP to the greatest there ever was 😞😢
The Spirit of The Lord Jesus is all over him, just Wonderful, grateful to be able to view this, thank you..
And Jesus said... (For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. ) Luke 21:15
One of the greatest artists of all times.
Gospel at its best. If this don't move you , somethings wrong..
Thats Godspel =Little Richard. !
Sing Little Richard Thank U For The Music And Memories Beautiful Song R.I.P.
Richard loved God. And I know he made it! He wanted to see God's face in peace. And I'm sure with the changes he made late in life he did just that.
@@elvirabeener1336Richard's roots were in the church, I also believe he loved the Lord, I'm sure he was struggling with demons, the bible says bring up your children in the ways of the Lord and when they grow up. they won't stray far from from your teachings, even though he fell down God knew his heart so when he repented God picked him right back up again.I heard him preach a moving sermon about a year before he passed.. May he rest in peace...
I don't think any of us, especially a lifelong fan like myself, realized what a fine voice he actually had. R.I.P. Mr. Penniman.
George, you are not the only one. Many of us did not know about his talent that he had and also it really showed his soul and heart when he talked about his dad on Donny's show. Her got really emotional I even cried when I saw that show. Watch it if you can and you can see for yourself, so beautiful and also so sad.
@@tcb1017 😢😢 is
When I was teenager I had a big argument about Little Richard. Some one said, 'He will never last' , I said 'Oh yes he will'. Were they wrong or were they really wrong??? What an artist and stood the test of time. RIP, A living legend!!
Loved all his looks and music. He is the reason for rock music.
I would like to say... God has blessed little Richard beyond measure because the #1 thing we are to do as Christians is help spread God's word...and allllll through his life he has done this...
That's What Call "God-Given" Talent........Rest In Paradise,King.......👊🏾🎯🔥👑🙂💯👍🏾
I never knew that Little Richard was an outstanding Gospel singer. This was so heartfelt. ❤️
All his life.. His mom had the children in church
Yeah.. he graduated from seminary... but he returned to ministry in the later years of his life...
Most singers back then started in the church at young ages
Whst a voice!! ❤
rock and roll has its roots in the deep south mixing black music, gospel. That was his roots. What a fantastic performer.
Such a wonderful man. And such a good man after all the struggles he had been through. Never hateful and negative, just funny and entertaining. I am an atheist but when he sings Gospel I dont know any more, sounds stupid I know. RIP Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.
It doesn’t sound stupid
A legacy who will always be remember not only in America but thru the 🌏.
Yes - in Australia.
- This man was truly a Giant. What a singer he was! -
Une légende indémodable,je ne le découvre vraiment que depuis peu ,je ne m'en lasse pas quel artiste !!!!!!
Little Richard went through secular and religious phases. This was one of his religious phases. God bless his soul!!
He went through religious as a child, to secular as a young men, and then religious again
Wow, this was so beautiful. Thank you Richard. Rest sweetly ❣️
he is rejoicing in heaven with the Lord. hallelujah
My dad got saved a few days or weeks be4 he died fter living a long life of sin (no judgement) but he made it. Thank God. Now dad say Hi to Richard and brother Ravi Zacharias for me. Thank u Jesus

God bless you! Sorry for your loss. Thank God that your dad has given his life to the Lord!!! Yes, Thank You Jesus!!!

Little Richard was totally gifted. I love when he sings these songs. His talents haven't even been exposed the way he would have wanted but I love all he shared. Thank you Mr Penniman!!! Rest in peace!!!!
Praise God Jesus Christ holy spirit amen 🙏😭 love you always from the deepest of my heart 💖

There was only one, and that was little Richard. what a beautiful soul.
@@thebassbat7882 yes he was a beautiful soul into much that while he was a rocking and rolling thd lord was speaking to his heart he said in his testimony that he would pay people to hand out religious booklets. Have you ever heard his last 2 major appearance speaking of the Lord Jesus and urging folk to give their hearts to God? Amazing just amazing. He had no wig nor makeup and still.made us laugh even though he meant serious business. You can find them on TH-cam
Amen.
Amen and Amen. I love him too!!! Praise the Lord for He found Jesus while he was still alive and lived for Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless his soul and rest in peace to him once again.
I think Little Richard was a very good person, I really admire him
God is good all the time love his songs
God Bless Little Richard.
A beautiful singer and a major influence on Elvis and the Beatles, among goodness knows how many others. Blessed on earth, now rest in peace Little Richard, the architect of rock'n'roll.
Für mich ist Little Richard auch der beste Gospel Sänger einfach großartig diese Stimme u Hingabe!!!!!
Yes, we must thank God, for what we have
got, and don't worry about what we haven't
got. You see, GOD is good all the time !!!
Rest in peace Little Richard. 🙏
You know that this one song has changed the way I see things now. You know with all the afflictions this whole world has going on. There is ( There really is someone who is worse off than I am ). Think about it. I think you will agree. Amen.
LITTLE RICHIE HAS WONDERFUL VOICE AND EVER THING THAT HE IS SAYS IS SO TRUTH I THANK JESUS EACH DAY THAT HE GIVES ME A ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE T0MORROW IS NOT PROMISE TO KNOW BODY
God bless Richard he was a good person. He was one of the early founders of Rock & Roll. Be he was also a very fine singer for the Loard.
JUST THINK HOW BEAUTIFUL "ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN "IS NOW SINCE LITTLE RICHARD GOT TO HEAVEN.
Little Richard Penniman was an innovator
and an originator.
He showed everyone Getting Saved for Real.
He has passed on into Eternal Life.
The promise available to everyone who will
accept Jesus today.
There will be peace in the valley!
When you're Born again, he becomes your brother or sister in Christ Jesus, how wonderful is that, restin peace brother Richard, such a beautiful soul. Amen. x
and the architect ♥️
White Jesus saves
@@thisislaflaretv5250 Actually He has oliveskin tone, but does it matter what skin colour he is, our skin colour does not matter to him, its timeto let go of things like this, it doesn't please him, we are all created in the image of God, he looks at the heart not the skin colour, & we are all of the same race.. The HUMAN RACE, the ONLY RACE THERE IS, ONE RACE, MANY NATIONS. Accept the truth, it will set you free. Not only Richard becomes your Brother, JESUS, is your Brother too, & Father God is your ABBA (Daddy,) because He Adopts you into his family, & you come under His Protection, what more do you want? John chapter 3&verse 3 Jesus tells us, 'You must be born again of the Spirit above & of water. (this is full emersion Baptism after your saved, Not as a baby, Jesus was 30 yrs old when he was baptised in the river Jordan bless God, Amen
@@patriciadavis2506 I use white Jesus sarcastically. He was used to subjugate our ancestors and make us dumb and docile. Jeshua is his actual name so at least call his name right. Do you read Greek,Hebrew,Latin. No you don't. Why don't you read the Bibles that predate the KJV you'll be surprised. I not going to get into the religeous txt that predate the Bible and Torah that talks about God. I teach
LEGENDARY !
WOW !! ....
WHAT A MAN......
ALL THE GREATS STARTED UNDER R8CHARD....
RIP
LEND THE HAND, TO THAT ONE PERSON WORSE OFF THEN YOU ARE !
PRAISE YAHSHUA / JESUS AMEN !
dammm 1983 ... LIFE SO SHORT ..
LOVE SOMEONE!
GOD BLESS MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS NAME ..
Very sweet sound. Lovely suit.
I love his voice!
I am so glad he hot to know Jesus as his personal Savior. I LOved all of his music. But so glad Jesus came into his life. Praise the Lord!
My oh my...Little Richard breaking it down for us. This performance gave me gooseflesh. I have always loved him. Yes, he struggled and tried to find the right course, and I respect that. May he rest in peace...
Rest in the loving Arms of our Lord Jesus Christ
He d I d fond the higher coarse. He denounced homosexual life in later years. Ask gatvall get in close touch with their Creator God, JEHOVAH ON LAST SEEN SHOW
Amen AmenLittle Richard..RIP
This song was so heart felt sung by Little Richard,and the lyrics spoke volumes to the soul.Richard in his last days embraced his love of God and sung out in praise. He's in heaven shouting and singing with the Angels.
Ecclest. 9:5 he us awaiting Jesus Call at the ressurection. John5:28,29. He us not an anointed or angel,but definitely God's valued child!!
His Gospel music is so good
THE GREATEST SINGER EVER
Bro. RICHARD, you just don't know og how many people you have Bless since you came to the Lord. This song has really Bless me each time I listen to it.lets me know that there are those that are worse off than I am just like the song.
Thank you Bro.Richard
Theres is Someone (Worse Off Than I Am)
Richard Wayne Penniman (Little Richard)
As I look around I can see so many people
Who cannot walk, not talk, not see
I thank God for the health and strength that I have
For there is someone worse off than I am
I have thought about the many problems that I have
And it seems that some of them would never end
But I realize that I should be grateful, also grateful
For there is someone worse off than I am
If I could tell the world about all of my affliction
Some of them could also tell these stories too, Lord have mercy
Then I begin to realize that mine ain’t nothing, Lord, it ain’t nothing
For there is someone worse off than I am
There is someone worse off than I am [Do you believe that?]
There is someone out there worse off than I am
I thank God for all that He gave, that my God gave to me
There is someone worse off than I am [Do you really believe that?]
There is someone worse off than I am [I just think about that all the time]
There is someone sitting out there worse off than I am [Thank God]
I thank God for all that He gave, that my God gave to me
There is someone worse off than I am [Wherever you are, think about it]
There is someone worse off than I am [Thank Lord, think about it]
There is someone, Hallelujah, worse off than I am
I thank God for all that He gave, that my God gave to me
Oh Lord... worse off than I am
There is someone out there worse off than I am [Just think about it, ladies and gentlemen]
There is someone worse off than I am [Hallelujah]
There is someone out there worse off than I am [Thank you, Jesus!]
Thank you
One of the highest compliments you can give a musician or singer is saying they have “Gospel chops”.
He had an amazing voice! R.I.P Little Richard!
Wow! Little Richard had an incredible voice. He was very versatile.

the voice of an angel - what a beautiful human being thanks for everything Little Richard
