The Diamonds
The Diamonds' 1957 hit Little Darlin' (Mercury 71060) was originally recorded by The Gladiolas (Excello 2701), who featured Maurice Williams as lead singer.

The Diamonds' version can be heard in the 1957 movie The Big Beal, in the 1973 movies American Graffiti and That'll Be The Day, in the 1976 film Slumber party ‘57, in the 1978 movie American Hot Wax, and the 1980 movie Hollywood Knights.
The Diamonds' version, which the group recorded as a novelty, actually did better on the rhythm-and-blues charts than did the Gladiolas’ original version.
