PHILADELPHIA — In the summer of 1969, Little Richard headlined at the Atlantic City Pop Festival, which featured many acts that would play Woodstock two weeks later.
In director Lisa Cortés' documentary "Little Richard: I Am Everything," the performance at the South Jersey countercultural gathering is remembered as an incandescent triumph for the electrifying "quasar of rock."
The movie, which starts streaming April 21, depicts the life of the Macon, Georgia, trailblazer born Richard Penniman as one of near constant struggle.
