This 1967 live album captures Little Richard in concert nearly a decade after his most famous recordings, showcasing his enduring energy and showmanship. It features his biggest hits as reinterpreted in a live setting.
- The album was recorded live at the Elks Lodge in Long Beach, California. It was released on Epic Records, a label he had signed to in 1966.
- This release features live versions of many of his classic hits, including "Tutti Frutti," "Long Tall Sally," and "Good Golly, Miss Molly."
- Chart performance for this specific release is not readily available, but it appeared during a period when Little Richard was less commercially dominant than in the 1950s.
Little Richard is a pioneering rock and roll singer, pianist, and showman from Macon, Georgia. By 1967, he had moved away from his original run of hits and was exploring gospel and soul music, though he was still a major influence on emerging artists.
