Little Richard's Greatest Hits: Recorded Live!

1

Little Richard's Greatest Hits - Recorded Live! is the second and last album by Little Richard for the Okeh label. A live album, it was recorded in the CBS Studios at Hollywood.

History

After the recording sessions for this album, (actually the result of Richard’s manager, Bumps Blackwell’s effort to convince European fans to petition Okeh Records to cut a live album), Richard recorded three more tracks for Okeh on May 17, 1967, one issued in 2004 ('Golden Arrow'), leaving the other two unreleased; then recorded six tracks in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago for the Brunswick Records label late in 1967 and in 1968. The Brunswick tracks were released between December '67 - September '68, none of which were hits. Meanwhile, Little Richard saw out 1967 with an appearance in the film Catalina Caper. From this point on Richard was out of the recording studios, not returning until March 1970 with the Reprise Records label.
