K-tel’s “Lucille” By Little Richard in Netflix’s Rustin

Netflix recently released a star-studded period film based on the true story of Bayard Rustin, who advised and helped Martin Luther King Jr. and others organize the 1963 March on Washington. The film centers around Rustin’s journey, as he dedicates his life to the quest for racial equality, human rights and worldwide democracy, but being a Black gay man, he is all but erased from the civil rights movement he helped build.

We’re very excited to have our remastered recording of Little Richard’s song “Lucille” featured in a scene where Rustin knocks on Loretta’s door and puts out a cigarette.
