Little Richard's Greatest Hits (with various titles and cover art) is an album of Little Richard songs re-recorded in 1964 and first released in the US by Vee-Jay Records in January 1965.[1] It features updated versions of twelve of his best-known songs originally recorded in the 1950s for Specialty Records.[2] Some of these re-recordings use different musical arrangements, including unusual syncopation, tambourine and jazz horns.
