I don't want much. I just want a little bit. Written by\xa0Rosco N. Gordon III in 1959.\xa0\n"Just a Little Bit" was developed when Gordon was touring with\xa0West Coast blues\xa0artist\xa0Jimmy 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\xa0Ralph Bass\xa0at\xa0King Records, who was reportedly uninterested in the song.\xa0Gordon then approached\xa0Calvin Carter\xa0at\xa0Vee-Jay Records, who agreed to record it.\nMeanwhile,\xa0Federal Records, a King Records subsidiary, released a version of "Just a Little Bit" by R&B singer\xa0Tiny Topsy\xa0(1959 Federal 45-12357), 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.\n\xa0\nElvis Presley (1973)\nAnimals (1977)\nFreddie King (1973)\n\nJerry Lee Lewis (1973)\n\nEtta James (1968)\n\nDave Berry (1964)\nLiverpool Five (1966)\nGene Simmons (1964)\xa0\xa0\nMagic Sam Blues Band (1969)\n\nMitch Ryder and the The Detroit Wheels (1966)\nRory Gallagher (1975)\nRosco Gordon (1959) The original. I find this version has a swing to it that the others don't possess. As if they took the part that didn't swing and emphasized\xa0THAT because it was just easier.\xa0\nRoy Head (1965)\nSlade (1974) I like Slade, but this is the worst version here.\xa0\nThe Undertakers (1964)\xa0\n\nThem (1965) Also a pretty bad version.\xa0\nTiny Topsy (1959)\n\xa0Note the additional composers.\xa0\nTony Worsley and the Blue Jays (1965)\nHomer & Jethro - Gonna Send 'Em Home (1964) Nobody sent anybody home.\xa0\nJanis Joplin - Half Moon (1969) Written by John and Joanna Hall. How exciting it must have been!\nJohn Hall - Voyagers (1978) With James Taylor and Carly Simon on backing vocals. With all that star power, how could this fail? Didn't even reach the top 200.\xa0\n\nJohn Hall - Nu Toone (1970)\xa0\nJohn Hall Band - Crazy (1982)\xa0\nKangaroo - I Never Tell Me Twice (1968) John Hall's band before Orleans.\xa0\nLa Bionda - I Wanna Be Your Lover (1980) JUST TAKE MY MONEY!!!\n\nOrleans - Please Be There (1973)\n\nJohn Hall - Power (1979) More Carly and JT. No sales, but it must have been nice to have your song sung at the No Nukes thingie.\xa0\nStevie Wonder - As (1976)\nGenesis - Behind The Lines/Duchess (1980) I distinctly remember the Duke tour booklet saying to "expect some surprises". Selling out was a surprise, I admit.
