"Just a Little Bit" is an R&B-style blues song recorded by Rosco Gordon in 1959. It was a hit in both the R&B and pop charts. Called "one of the standards of contemporary blues,"〔 〕 "Just a Little Bit" has been recorded by a variety of artists, including Little Milton and Roy Head who also had record chart successes with the song. ==Background== "Just a Little Bit" was developed when Rosco Gordon was touring with West Coast blues artist Jimmy McCracklin. According to Gordon, McCracklin started to write the song and agreed that Gordon could finish it with both of them sharing the credit.〔 〕 Gordon later presented a demo version to Ralph Bass at King Records, who was reportedly uninterested in the song.〔 Gordon then approached Calvin Carter at Vee-Jay Records, who agreed to record it. Meanwhile, Federal Records, a King Records subsidiary released a version of "Just a Little Bit" by R&B singer Tiny Topsy (1959 Federal 45-12357),〔Gordon recalled this as taking place in 1958; ''Billboard'' shows the releases in 1959.〕 with songwriting credit given to Ralph Bass and several others unknown to Gordon.〔 The Tiny Topsy song, featuring a pop-style arrangement with background singers and flute, did not reach the record charts.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Just a Little Bit (Rosco Gordon song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
