Pray Along with Little Richard was the first gospel album by the artist after he had renounced rock and roll and left the Specialty Records label.

History

Released over many different albums between 1959 and 1963, full details of these sessions have proved difficult to track down. In the book The Life and Times of Little Richard[1] they are listed as being recorded in New York with an estimated date of September 1959. Recorded for mogul George Goldner, the only known personnel member besides Richard was Herman Stevens on organ. The tracks are described by Charles White as pretty miserable [...] 'dirgelike' cuts.[2]
