What Is The Little Richard Story About?
The premise of The Little Richard Story without spoilers.
Klein tracks down Little Richard, the self‑styled ‘Architect of Rock and Roll,’ who abandoned a soaring 1950s career to become an evangelist. Lured back in the ’60s and ’70s, he later retreated again as fame’s excesses clashed with his faith. While Richard is selling “Black Heritage Bibles” in Nashville, Klein seizes the moment to examine the singer’s dual identity through family testimony in Macon and a parade of impersonators and adoring fans filmed in Hollywood.
