The Rill Thing
''The Rill Thing'' was Little Richard's comeback album after three years away. Utilising yet another new sound, the largely swamp rock album contained Little Richard's biggest post-Specialty single in "Freedom Blues", which broke the ''Billboard'' top 50, and a lesser success with the follow-up single, "Greenwood, Mississippi", which made the top 90; although the tune made number 56 on Cashbox Black Singles. The title track itself was a ten minute plus instrumental penned by Richard. Despite the success of the two tracks as singles and the inclusion of two cover versions, the album itself failed to chart. (although actual sales are reported well over 200,000).
==History==
Between the release of ''The Rill Thing'' and Little Richard's last album'' Little Richard's Greatest Hits: Recorded Live!'' (1967) there had been several album releases, but all were repackaged collections of songs that had already been released previously, including some of his Specialty work.
The release of the album came less than a year after Richard's performance at Atlantic City Pop Festival, and with "Freedom Blues" he had his biggest American pop hit in thirteen years. This period was shortly before reported usage of cocaine 〔White, Charles. (2003). ''The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography.''

After the album failed to chart, Richard returned to the studios in May 1971 to produce a follow-up for Reprise with a more "teen" sound.
