Little Richard Long Tall Sally Textual analysis

This is the live music video from Little Richard singing Long Tall Sally. This video is from 1956, so about 43 years before I was born. I absolutely love this song as it was used in one of my favorite games. Many types of camera shots are used here. many of which show how skilled Little Richard really was. For example, a close up is used roughly 1 minute in which shows him playing the piano without looking and balancing his leg on it at the same time.

This suggests that he had been playing the piano for a long time. The camera then cuts to a mid shot of a man playing the trumpet while standing on the piano. This is done to show the back up group and show their skill with the instruments.

Little Richard made many songs in which he showed how skilled he was at playing instruments.
