Small Corners is an album of Christian music by British pop singer Cliff Richard. It is his third gospel album,[1] and was recorded in Abbey Road Studios in January 1977.[2] It consists largely of songs by American writers which he had been performing in concert for some time.[1]

"Yes He Lives" was released in the UK as the lead single from the album, but did not chart. In France "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music" was released as a single in April 1978, however it did not chart either.[3]

Critical response

AllMusic found that due to its "spontaneous air" it was more fun and less "pious" than his other religious recordings.[2] On its reissue, Mojo magazine gave it 3/5.[4]
