"Little Bitty Pretty One" is a 1957 song written and originally recorded by Bobby Day.
[2] Produced by Aladdin Records (located in Los Angeles, Calif.), and featuring the Sharps on backing vocals,[3] Harris' version reached No.
[5] In 1991, Jacqueline Byrd, the widow of songwriter Bobby Day, told lawmakers that she had intercepted a letter addressed to her husband.
If the song's copyright were renewed, Byrd and her four children would have received royalty payments until 2037.
"Little Bitty Pretty One" was the inspiration for the Accents' sole hit "Wiggle Wiggle" in 1958, and though the similarities were evidently not sufficient to warrant a lawsuit, Aladdin Records took the expedient step of covering the song with a group called the Chestnuts.
