"Hey Little One", a song written by Dorsey Burnette and Barry De Vorzon, was initially recorded by Dorsey, released on May 2, 1960 on the Era label as the double A-side "Hey Little One"/"Big Rock Candy Mountain" (Era 3019). "Hey Little One" reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. [1] Musicians on the recording include veteran session drummer Earl Palmer. [2]
American country-pop music artist Glen Campbell covered the song for his Grammy-winning 1967 LP By the Time I Get to Phoenix and released it as the second single from the album. Campbell's more grandiose version reached number 13 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart [3] and in February 1968 peaked at 54 on the Hot 100. The single also reached the Top Ten on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada. Campbell's follow-up LP Hey Little One, released in March 1968 just four months after its predecessor, also featured the track.
