God's Beautiful City is a gospel album by Little Richard, recorded at unknown dates in Nashville, 1979.[1][2][3] Richard was inspired to record it due in part to the death of his brother.[4]
After recording the album, Richard went on to record two unreleased tracks on June 17, 1981 – "One Day at a Time" and "Where Will I Go Without the Lord?" – before his career fell dormant once more. Some of the tracks have 1978 copyright dates to suggest a 1978 recording, though April 1979 has been reported.
