About The Fabulous Little Richard

The Fabulous Little Richard was the third album from Little Richard, and the end of his rock and roll period. Released seventeen months after he had left the Specialty Records label, Richard had returned to religion and turned his back on the music that made him famous. Though he would briefly rescind that decision in 1962, and sporadically throughout his career, this album marked the end of his peak period. In order to make the record more accessible to listeners, over half of the tracks featured an overdubbed female backing group. The record was put together including out-takes and other leftover studio tracks, which saw Richard in a somewhat more mellow styling. It was voted number 483 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). In 2003, David Bowie included it in a list of 25 of his favourite albums, "Confessions of a Vinyl Junkie".
