Hattie Littles (February 14, 1937 – June 15, 2000)[1][2] was an American soul singer, best known for her 1963 single, "Your Love Is Wonderful," released on Motown's Gordy label.
She was discovered by Motown producer Clarence Paul, who recruited her in 1962 after she had won three talent shows at "Lee's Sensation Lounge" in Detroit.
She was signed to Motown for four years, resulting in her recording ten singles, but only one – "Your Love Is Wonderful" / "Here You Come", both sides written and produced by Berry Gordy Jr. – was released at the time.
[3] She was rediscovered by Ian Levine, with the help of former Motown guitarist Dave Hamilton, singing gospel in Detroit in the 1980s.
Tracks on The Very Best of Hattie Littles feature short monologues or "raps", in the classical and bluesy style of Lou Rawls, James Brown, Bobby Blue Bland, and B.
