It’s surprising to learn that the song met poor reviews when it was originally released. But it’s a classic, beautifully and poignantly delivered, timeless, and a testament that "nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come."
The king is dead. Long live the king!! (in Heaven with The King of kings! Jesus)!! Everybody get ready to meet Him while you stiill have time! Jesus is comin back soon!!

regardless of how a man ... or woman ... strays, God will put to use the gifts given. And put that person where-ever he's supposed to be. REgardless of what Richard Penniman did along the way, the man is a testimony to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
I was Richard before He got saved in LA then along time after when He was preaching I sat on the platform 5 feet from him it was awsome, I've never forgotten it.
Praise the LORD! all the best musicians of the 20th century have made worshiped songs to God! Little Richard, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and even John Lennon with his last song "Help me to help myself" praise God! Amen!
yes it is!! :) I already have my ticket for that incredible concert.. thanks through the blood of Jesus Christ. Recently Paul McCartney made a song "Hosanna" too :)
RIP Mr Richard. May God the Father send his Angels to wrap you in Love and Peace as You enter Heavens Gates. Thank You for Sharing Your God Given Talent with The World.
I am listening over and over to this song and tearing up at the same time. How beautifully sung by Richard with such amazing vocals. Wished I had the opportunity to meet him. I will get to know him through his legacy of music, an honest sense of humor, and interviews he left for us.
So beautiful... Yes, he has said that he was influenced by listening to Mahalia. Saw him last month at the Howard Theater in D.C. 79 years old. In a wheelchair, from unsuccessful hip surgery, but when they put him in front of the piano, he still wails like no one else.
Amen,Amen, I can feel, in my heart, I, am Having a great, time listening, to Little Richard, sing this song, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Ain't God good to us, Thanks, Little Richard. Blessings.
what a beautiful song Gods promise of a beautiful city and Richard is there now walking with God He said I will go and prepare a place for you no sickness no pain no hate there in Gods beautiful city
What a beautiful surprise to listen to this man whom I "idolised as a teenager in the 1950s" to now realise I will meet up with him one day in that glorious city of GOD. Hallelujah. Brian Pritchard
Rip Richard no more suffering... Now are in soul heaven. With Betty wright. .now they both in heaven rip to y'all both. May 11 !!!2020 Tuesday..god wrapped him with a hug ......
I'm Seabrun Candy Hunter, I used to open the show for Richard in the 70's, co-writer of Rockin Rockin Boogie. I know first hand just what the KING can do with his God given Voice.Can't enough be said about just how gifted he is. Thank you Richard for all you've done for me and may God continue to always bless you. I love you so much!
Hey Phil! I think it's ironic and a little flattering that you and Timo from the Little Richard's Forum have interest in my song. No! "I saw What You Did" was never released. We shopped a record deal 1st with Warner Bros. As I have stated Richard produced it on me. The master was lost while we traveled the world. Richard used to tease me and the audience by playing a few bars from it on stage spontaneously while resting between songs, (something he normally does) but not much of it because we hadn't completed our deal and that was the first release planned. We've located the master but haven't got it in our possession yet. After 5 yrs I retired from the road to open Canryn Production Inc. my 7 company vision and blended songwriting with poetry and have gained success as published author of the "Miracles", series with B&N. (Please Google Seabrun Candy Hunter) and find out what I'm doing today. I'm thankful to God for giving me the life I've lived and to Richard for letting me share it with him. My thanks again for your interest after all of this time!
Hi Phil! About "I Want to be more than just your friend.. That was the first song that I recorded on myself in the studio in 1977 a year after I left the road with Richard, I only have the sound track for it, and I've been toying with the thought of putting the Original track on TH-cam so the world can hear it for the first ever, (wouldn't that be something)? I don't have any videos but we're contacting the London press for info about the tour date at Wimbley Stadium London concert in 1972-73 to get video footage of me opening the shows for Richard, or newspaper articles for my autobiography. I didn't have the pleasure of being on any of the albums before 1971, that's when I started to travel with the King, but I've met many of the musicians during the years. Hope this is more info that helps clear things up a little. Thanks for asking.
As children in England we grew up learning to do the house chores to this album on the "gram", together with other gospel albums of my parents, Jim Reeves, Elvis,etc & early Jamaican gospel reggae, tunes like - I love that man from Galilaee. The funny thing was we would get some good old Jamaican hard "liks on our batties" if we didn't do things right! - even though we "live ina Hinglan" * My fren - I wud jus luv2 hear sum more tunes off de halbum, if possible please. lol :-)
My Little Richard is sleeping in Christ's loving arms waiting for his resurrection to go home to that BEAUTIFUL CITY. You all must see his testimony on the web site 3ABN. It was in 2017. It is an inspiration to behold what GOD can do for us sinners I know personally what Christ has and is doing in my life giving my life and my all to him You do not know what peace is until you surrender to CHRIST
A beautiful gospel song by little Richard, it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. I pray Little Richard is as true to Jesus Christ as Christ is to him...
Simply wonderful. I am so happy that this great person was able to receive the adulation that belonged to him and to know how important and special he was.
Couldn't find the lyrics to this beautiful song anywhere - so here they are: God's Beautiful City (Little Richard) I'm thinking of a beautiful city That beautiful city - far beyond the sun Oh that beautiful city - where my Jesus is waiting For those who are ready when he comes
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all paved with gold Oh that beau - that beautiful city where sorrow never roams I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me Cause I know that he's coming very soon
In that city there'll be peace and contentment Love everlasting - and joy unknown No more crying - no pain - no more dying And my tears - he will dry them all the way
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all pain will go Oh that beau - that beautiful city - where sorrow never roams I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me Cause I know that he's coming very soon Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all paved with gold Oh that beau - that beautiful city where sorrow never roams I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me Cause I know that he's coming very soon Cause I know that he's coming very soon Cause I know that he's coming very soon

Couldn't find the lyrics to this beautiful song anywhere - so here they are: God's Beautiful City (Little Richard)
I'm thinking of a beautiful city
That beautiful city - far beyond the sun
Oh that beautiful city - where my Jesus is waiting
For those who are ready when he comes
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all paved with gold
Oh that beau - that beautiful city where sorrow never roams
I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me
Cause I know that he's coming very soon
In that city there'll be peace and contentment
Love everlasting - and joy unknown
No more crying - no pain - no more dying
And my tears - he will dry them all the way
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all pain will go
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - where sorrow never roams
I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me
Cause I know that he's coming very soon
Oh that beau - that beautiful city - all paved with gold
Oh that beau - that beautiful city where sorrow never roams
I am waiting for my Jesus - yes he's waiting for me
Cause I know that he's coming very soon
Cause I know that he's coming very soon
Cause I know that he's coming very soon
Beautiful voice

リトルリチャードの音楽は、彼自ら、ヒーリングミュージックと言ってますが、それは彼の音楽には、情熱や同情など、神や人々への愛があるのだと私は思っています。
RIP
We loved you Little Rich and but God loved you best, Sleep on and take your rest in that beautiful city.R.I.P.
💕
I think the piano is a tiny little bit out of tune, but don't get me wrong, that gives the song a special sound, like a contrast. Love this song.
リトルリチャードさんのレコードはほとんど全て、所有してます。
