"Little Bitty Pretty One" is a 1957 song written and originally recorded by #BobbyDay. The same year, the song was popularized by #ThurstonHarris. Produced by #AladdinRecords (located in Los Angeles, Calif.), and featuring #theSharps on backing vocals, Harris's version reached No. 6 on the U.S. #Billboard Best-Sellers chart and No. 2 on the R&B chart. The Bobby Day version reached No. 11 in the Canadian #CHUMChart.

At any rate, whenever I post these One Hit Wonder histories, I post a sampler of the artist's/band's other, often unheard #music, so people can hear what else they did.

I posted the #BobbyDay sampler to Spotify. It's about 50/50 songs by him, plus songs from his other projects or his contemporaries in the #DooWop scene. (4/4)

Another semi- (somewhat?) famous single by #BobbyDay was this one, "Little Bitty Pretty One." Love this tune, fwiw, but, if you're like me, the version you know better came from Thurston Harris.

Again, this is about Day, so here's his version. #music (3/4)

This is #BobbyDay's biggest single. I suspect more than one other artist/band recorded their spin on "Rockin' Robin," but The Jackson Five recorded the one I hear most often.

But this is about Day, so let's stick with his. #music (2/4)

A short history of the songwriter behind at least three very famous singles. Even with his biggest hit (see below), another artist's version would eclipse Day's version sooner or later. Still, he wrote 'em. #music (1/4)
