Little Richard Live is Little Richard's first album of new material since 1974, and the first album he'd recorded since 1973.[1] Recorded at the Jack Clement Studio in Nashville, the album featured remakes of twenty of his Specialty Records tracks. If you count live takes, this was actually the fifth or sixth time that Richard had recorded his classic work - (Lucille, Good Golly Miss Molly and Rip It Up). Despite the album's title, the tracks are studio recordings, not live performances.
History
After recording Right Now!, Richard appeared in the film The London Rock and Roll Show and on piano for two tracks on the Bachman–Turner Overdrive album Head On. After recording this album for K-Tel, Richard didn't return to a recording studio until 1979, where he returned to Gospel music for the World label, before retiring until 1986.
Richard reflected on this during an interview for UK music show The Tube in 1985, where he told presenter Jools Holland, "I gave up rock and roll in 1976. I had a lot of death in my family, my brother fell dead, he had a heart attack, he was thirty-two years old. I had another friend who got shot in the head, another friend of mine got cut up with a butcher knife, another friend of mine had a heart attack, then my mother died. Then my nephew shot himself in the head, and so I decided I would just give my life to being an evangalist."[2]
