“Little Darlin” is a popular Top 40 song. It was written by Maurice Williams with both melody and doo-wop accompaniment strongly emphasizing the clave rhythm, and was released during 1957 as a rhythm and blues song by The Gladiolas.
It was later covered successfully by The Diamonds, a pop group that had been performing the song as an encore. The Diamonds version was #2 by sales for eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was later recorded by Elvis Presley for his Moody Blue album.
