This Little Girl - Gary U.S. Bonds - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Rock 'n' roll disciple Gary U.S. Bonds emerged in the early 1960s with doo-wop hit "Quarter to Three" and a sonic love letter to his birthplace, "New Orleans," and was billed ahead of The Beatles on his 1963 European tour before retreating into relative obscurity for the next twenty years. He marked his comeback in 1981 with his third studio album Dedication, the first of two records he worked on with Bruce Springsteen (the second, On the Line, arrived the following year) a noted fan of his work. "This Little Girl" was the hit that propelled him back onto the main stage. Written by Bruce Springsteen—who also penned Dedication tracks “Your Love” and “Dedication"—"This Little Girl" bridges the two artists' styles for a sound that's rooted in the rhythms of early rock 'n' roll but delivered with the heft of 1980s rock. Gary U.S. Bonds went to number eleven on the US Billboard Hot 100 with the song and also charted in Canada, New Zealand, and the UK.
