Little Richard is celebrated around the world as one of the founding fathers of Rock 'n' Roll, but between 1959 and 1962 he returned to the gospel music that had first inspired him as a young performer. Joy Down In My Heart brings together the finest recordings from this remarkable period, revealing the faith, power and emotion that lay behind one of popular music's most unforgettable voices.

Featuring outstanding performances including Joy, Joy, Joy (Down In My Heart), He Got What He Wanted (But He Lost What He Had), It's Real, Ride On, King Jesus and He's Not Just A Soldier, this collection showcases Little Richard's extraordinary vocal range and heartfelt conviction. While these recordings differ from his famous Rock 'n' Roll hits, they possess the same passion, conviction and unmistakable personality that made him a musical pioneer.

Complete with a fully illustrated booklet featuring detailed notes and rare photographs, Joy Down In My Heart offers a fascinating insight into an often-overlooked chapter of Little Richard's career and is an essential addition to any Rock 'n' Roll, Gospel or Rhythm & Blues collection.
