JUST MISSED!!! As stated above "Little Devil" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 9 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1961...
Neil Sedaka was a very talented performer and songwriter. But he was part of the sanitization of rock/pop music, by the record industry, in the late 50's and early 60's. These record executives were looking for a way to tame rock's image after Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Elvis and all of their gyrations and shenanigans. I love this period in time because it set the stage for something BIG to hit and that something was the Beatles in 1964. Good times!
This beautiful song will be for a long time in my heart. I have a small Opel Olympia 1954 with a well hidden stero system, en route to a rally,the car made "problems" on the highway with the upper body in the engine compartment, I solved the problem, as I continued the trip was "little devil "the first song that played on stero system :-)
I remember rolling down Garvey Avenue in El Monte with my dad in our 61 Chevy Impala listening to Little Devil. I instantly fell in love with the tune and I still love it. What a blast from the past in a way only Neil Sedaka can provide. Thank you Neil Sedaka for this tune.
Hi I am only 20 years old and I collect record and I haver this on a record of Neil Sedaka greatest hits this is a very good song thank you and I will be posting my records on my Youtube page thank you
@InSenseAround Underdog? Underdog in your opinion. Show me the songs you've sung and the money you've made. How many people know your name compared to Neil's?
I am 15, & honestly enjoy this music, even more than I do the music my generation listens to, It helps me remember my pop. <3 These songs actually have emotion in them & you can actually understand what they are singing about.
A la miércoles... yo nací en el 91, y mi mamá jamás me contó que Neil vino al Perú! Dios, eso debe haber sido un fiestón de los grandes, un conciertazo para bailar hasta más no poder! me gustaría haber estado allí... yo hubiera cantado esto a todo pulmón. Oye Luis Alberto, como yo no conozco mucho, puedes pasar el link del cover que hizo ese cantante del que hablas? Porque yo escuché la versión que Sedaka hizo de este tema en español y no me gustó para nada, esta está mejor
Music like this is so enjoyable to listen to! You can understand the lyrics and sing along. Its in good taste, there is a innocence about it, and these songs are just timeless. I love the music from the 1960's!
Esta canciòn la grabò en Lima-Perù Gustavo Hit Moreno con el titulo de "Pequeño Diablo", lo acompañò la orquesta de Enrique Lynch, y fue uno de sus primeros hits aqui en Lima. La grabaciòn data de 1962. Gustavo fue el primer cantante nuevaolero del Perù, y aun hoy sigue cantando muy bien. Aqui en mi pais, Neil Sedaka fue un idolo y visitò Lima dos veces, la primera en 1964, la segunda en 1970. Se le recuerda con nostalgia. Comentò Luis Alberto Espinoza Bazàn Disc-jockey internacional
I was about 11 I believe and had the 45; I loved the Repeat capability on those old record players. I liked this song a lot and definitely used that Repeat!!! Thanks for a great, nostalgic post.
bahahaha I love that on a song called 'Little Devil' the ad at the bottom is for a Christian dating service. Brilliant. Trying to make little angels of us all maybe?
I've loved this song since I was 9 .When stuck in the house on a rainy day,this great tune brought me joy & sunshine. I only wished the ending (whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,yeah,yeah,yeah....hey....little devil...)could go on & on & on !! A beautifully orchestrated tune with that Sedaka smile/style combining bouncing melody with pockets of harmony riding along with his unique duets. I know this now,but as a 9y/o, I just knew this song made me forget about wanting to go play outside for awhile. Thanks !!
