1990Year At first, William Klein's 1980 documentary "The Little Richard Story" suggests that there may be too many Little Richards, as it glimpses one impersonator after another. Waiting patiently, they wear numbered signs and trade hints and Richardisms (cries of "Whooooooo!" are everywhere). "You ain't got the Little Richard scream," one is chided. "Richard never faced the piano, he always faced the audience, so that's what you got to do," another is told. Whenever the confusion threatens to become overwhelming, rip-roaring television clips of the real Richard serve as reminders that there is, after all, only one. But later in the film, even this notion is called into question. The actual Little Richard, who cooperated with the film makers briefly but then changed his mind and cut off contact with them, appears only fleetingly in a newly somber incarnation. He sits behind a desk in a business suit and sings "When the Saints Go Marching In," and later on appears as the pitchman for a white-run business manufacturing garish Bibles for black customers. All this suggests that there may be no true Little Richard after all. Review/Film
