"Little Darlin'" is a popular Top 40 song, made famous by the Diamonds.
It was written by Maurice Williams with both melody and doo-wop accompaniment strongly
emphasizing the clave rhythm. It was first
recorded by Excello Records in January 1957 and quickly released as a rhythm-and-blues song by Williams's
R&B group, The Gladiolas. The song is noted for its spoken recitation by
the lead singer ("My Darlin' I need you..."). The Gladiolas,
featuring Williams, were from Lancaster, South Carolina, where they had
been together since high school. Their original version of the song was on the
small Excello label.(Excello primarily recording "swamp blues" songs
in Crowley, Louisiana. The Gladiolas
song peaked at number 11 on the R&B charts in April 1957, but barely dented
the hot 100. By 1959, Williams' group became "Maurice Williams and the
Zodiacs" with the rock 'n roll- R&B hit "Stay."
