🎵 [SONG INFO]
Jimmy London's "A Little Love" is a classic of the early reggae era, but whether it is the "original" depends on how you define the song.
The Original Reggae VersionJimmy London’s version, released in 1971, is the original reggae recording of this song.
Producer: Clive Chin / Vincent Chin
Label: Impact! (Jamaica) / Randy's (UK)
Backing Band: The Impact All Stars
It was a massive hit in Jamaica and the UK, effectively launching Jimmy London's solo career after he left the duo The Inspirations.
This specific recording is the one that most reggae fans refer to as the definitive version.
The Composition
While Jimmy London was the first to make it a hit in this style, the song itself was not an original composition written for him.
The credits on the original 7" vinyl often list Fritz Rotter (sometimes credited as M.4 Rotha) as the composer.
Before Jimmy London's reggae version, the song existed as a pop/easy-listening tune.
One of the earliest known versions was recorded by the American group The Neon Philharmonic in early 1971 (just months before London's), featured on their self-titled album.
Key Versions to Know
If you are looking for the "original" sound, here is how they differ
Artist / Year / Style / Note
The Neon Philharmonic / 1971 / Baroque Pop / The likely source material for the lyrics/melody.
Jimmy London / 1971 / Early Reggae / The version that made the song famous worldwide.
The Impact All Stars / 1971 / Dub version / The B-side instrumental "Version" of Jimmy London's hit.
🎤 [LYRICS]
A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you.
A little kiss
That's more than just a kiss
Just one that up and leaves
That's all I want from you.
Don't let me down
You told me that you can't remember
When you give you also get your share.
Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow may not come
And dreams may be too late.
A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you.
A little kiss
That's more than just a kiss
Just one that up and leaves
That's all I want from you.
Don't let me down
You told me that you can't remember
When you give you also get your share.
Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow may not come
And dreams may be too late.
A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you.
A little kiss
That's more than just a kiss
Just one that up and leaves
That's all I want from you.
A little love
A little kiss
A little love
A little kiss
A little love
A little kiss
A little love
A little kiss...
