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. Including live takes, this was actually the fifth time that Richard had recorded his classic work, or even the sixth in some instances (Lucille, Good Golly Miss Molly and Rip It Up). Despite the album's title, the tracks are studio recordings, not live performances.

[edit] 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, he didn't return to a recording studio until 1979, where he returned to Gospel music for the World label.
