Little Bitty Pretty One - Thurston Harris

This song got played on a local radio station's morning show a lot when I was a kid. It wasn't a new song by any means. At a time when I was old enough to remember it, the song had to have been at least thirty-five years old. It didn't matter, though; I still dug the sound.


The humming parts are what really hooked me. Humming the melody line and then doing sort of a doo-wop refrain of it was something I wasn't hearing in modern music. There were lots of songs on that morning radio show with Danno, Lisa and Billy C that I liked, and several of them were a few years old. That show introduced me to lots of good music, and it opened my eyes (ears?) to exploring music outside the small box I had built to that point.
