{1}"This Little Girl" peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April of 1981. It remained in the chart for 18 weeks.

{2}Born Gary Anderson, June 6, 1939, Gary grew up in the Norfolk, Virgina area. When he was not yet 21, he was approached by local record producer, Frank Guida, to join his tiny Legrand label. Guida changed Anderson's name to U.S. Bonds, hoping the first release, "New Orleans," would get extra airplay by disc jockeys mistaking it for a public-service announcement. Bonds is a rhythm & blues and rock & roll singer and a prolific songwriter.

{3}Bruce Springsteen wrote "This Little Girl" (not to be confused with "This Little Girl of Mine" by Ray Charles) for Gary "U.S." Bonds, and did not record it himself.
