💿 [SONG INFO]

"Why Little Girl" is a song by the English rock and roll group Shane Fenton & The Fentones.
It was released in 1962 as the B-side to their single "It's All Over Now."
The song was written by Bernard Jewry (who performed as Shane Fenton) and Fraser. Bernard Jewry later achieved greater fame as the glam rock artist Alvin Stardust.
While "It's All Over Now" peaked at No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart, "Why Little Girl" did not chart independently.

Shane Fenton & The Fentones were formed in Mansfield in 1960.
Interestingly, "Shane Fenton" was a stage name used by two different musicians. The original Shane Fenton, Johnny Theakston, passed away, and Bernard Jewry took on the identity. The group had four Top 40 hits in the UK with Jewry as their lead singer before the rise of the Merseybeat sound.
