Lifetime Friend CD
The Architect of Rock 'n' Roll's final studio album.
After the 1984 release of his autobiography, The Quasar of Rock and Roll, Little Richard decided to come out of retirement.
It had been seven years since his last record.
For the new album, Richard went to record in London with a powerhouse band including Billy Preston, guitarist Travis Wammack, bassist Jesse Boyce, and drummer James Stroud with producer Stuart Colman at the helm.
Warner Brothers unleashed Lifetime Friend in 1986 and the albums was hailed as a return to form.
The album's blistering opener Great Gosh A'Mighty would even be recut by Richard for the film Down And Out In Beverly Hills, nearly cracking the Top 40.
Two other singles, Operator and Somebody's Comin', would make chart appearances in the UK.
This reissue adds bonus tracks - the single edit and an extended mix of the single Operator and the package contains photos, and new liner notes.
Disc 1 | 1 GREAT GOSH ALMIGHTY |
