I had Elvis on last night, but wasn't really re-watching or paying too

she sorta discovered Little Richard ? Or was that just some poetic
license ?

In October 1947, Sister Rosetta Tharpe overheard the fourteen-year-old Richard singing her songs before a performance at the Macon City Auditorium. She invited him to open her show. After the show, Tharpe paid him, inspiring him to become a professional
performer.
