On December 28th, 1959 Joni James' "Little Things Mean A Lot" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it would peak at #35 and spent 9 weeks in the Top 100...
The most successful version of this song was by Kitty Kallen, on June 5th, 1954 it reached #1 {for 9 weeks} on Billsboard's Best Sellers chart and was also #1 on the U.K. charts...
Also in 1954 British singer Alma Cogan's version reached #11 in the U.K. and in 1985 Irish singer Dana's version peaked at #27 in Ireland...

My gosh, how many times did I fall in love with this song always around somewhere. It is so tender, so sweet. If I were 17 again as I was then, knowing what I now know, I would gather the whole universe in the palm of my hands like a little ball!....... I do miss my high school crowed, where have they gone to? Yes, Little things meant so much then... I miss those times....our fear then was getting caught smoking or drinking a glass of beer! he! Thanks for sharing all.

Who else remembers gingham dresses? Come on own up! Thanks, Lime Popsicle.

Joni has one of the great expressive voices of all time, and it's on display here. Unfortunately, the heavy handed arrangement buries Joni's special interpretation.

I went to high school in Vancouver Canada between 1948-54. This was the pre-Elvis ballad era and there were so many great male-female singers. We all loved Patti and Teresa and Jo and Doris...but none was more entrancing than Joni James. I googled her name on the off chance someone would post her work on UTube, and bingo! Thank you, Lime Popsicle...I will treasure this site! Old guy, young memory. Cheers!
