Lifetime Friend is an album by Little Richard, and his first album in seven years since the release of the 1979 gospel album and became famous and popular among teenagers and college friends, God's Beautiful City. Following that album's release and some 1981 recordings, Richard had made no recordings while he continued his career in the ministry [1]. Following the release of his autobiography, The Quasar of Rock and Roll, in 1984, Richard reemerged in the public eye and had begun to be recognized for his contributions to popular music as one of the founders of rock and roll music.

Before Richard recorded Lifetime Friend, his mother, Leva Mae, had died; Richard had promised her that he would remain a Christian. For this album, he decided to mix his trademark rock and roll sound with gospel lyrics, in a style that he called "message music" or "messages in rhythm".[2] One track, "I Found My Way", co-written by Richard and one of his young proteges Victor Brooks ll, included a blend of rap vocals and rock and roll.[2] The album was recorded mainly in England, and was issued on WEA in Europe and Warner Bros. Records in the United States.

The song, "Great Gosh A'Mighty", co-written by Richard and Billy Preston, was released as a single after being featured on the soundtrack of Down and Out in Beverly Hills. It just missed making the top 40, peaking at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1986. The song did not receive substantial airplay.[3]
