This song sounds so good. The mix is great with the bass coming through. Little Sister was written by the Brill Building songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. They also wrote the 1959 hit A Teenager In Love.
The song peaked at #5 in the Billboard 100 and #1 in the UK in 1961. Elvis recorded it at the RCA Nashville, Tennessee, studio in 1961. On the recording besides Elvis, was Scotty Moore (acoustic guitar), Hank Garland (electric guitar), Bob Moore (bass), D.J. Fontana and Buddy Harmon (drums), Floyd Cramer (organ), and The Jordanaires (backing vocals).
Dwight Yokum also does a great cover of this song.
Little Sister
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Kiss me once or twice
Then say it’s very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don’t you
Do what your big sister done
Well, I dated your big sister
And took her to a show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out of the door
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Kiss me once or twice
Then say it’s very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don’t you
Do what your big sister done
Every time I see your sister
Well, she’s got somebody new
She’s mean and she’s evil
Like that old Boll Weevil
Guess I’ll try my luck with you
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Kiss me once or twice
Then say it’s very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don’t you
Do what your big sister done
Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a growin’
And, baby, it’s been showin’
From your head down to your toes
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Little sister, don’t you
Kiss me once or twice
Then say it’s very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don’t you
Do what your big sister done
Little sister, don’t you
Do what your big sister done

When I hear this song in my head it’s Dwight singing it! Elvis’s version is also pretty good.

I do like Dwight’s version. I went back and forth on which one to post.

Probably some of Hank Garland’s best guitar playing. The song was ahead of it’s time in a lot of ways.

I’m wondering if this is the original mix…it sounds too fresh for the early sixties

It’s been remastered from the original tape. They only had 3 tracks so this was all done live.

It is a good thing that those long sideburns went out of style.

great song and particularly good guitar work… perhaps it is remastered though, to make the guitar more front and center.It works anyway!

I certainly prefer this version over Yoakam’s (but that’s me, almost always preferring the “originals”). Great song, one of the last true Elvis rockers. Plus, it’s nicely remastered and the guitar is crunchy!
