This collectible signed sheet music is for This Little Girl by Gary U.S. Bonds, autographed by the artist himself. Released in 1981, This Little Girl marked a stunning comeback for Gary U.S. Bonds, nearly two decades after his initial success in the early 1960s with hits like Quarter to Three and New Orleans. Written and produced by Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt, the song captured the raw energy of Bonds’ signature R&B style while infusing it with the Jersey Shore rock sound. This Little Girl became a Top 40 hit in the U.S. and a Top 10 single in the UK, re-establishing Bonds as a force on the charts and introducing him to a new generation of fans. Its success led to the critically acclaimed album Dedication, which featured contributions from members of the E Street Band. Gary U.S. Bonds (born Gary Levone Anderson in 1939) is celebrated for his dynamic, party-driven rhythm and blues sound that helped shape early rock and roll. Rising to fame in the early 1960s, his high-energy performances and distinctive, soulful voice made him a staple of the era’s charts. Though his commercial momentum slowed later in the decade, his resurgence in the 1980s—thanks in part to his collaborations with Springsteen—cemented his legacy as both a pioneer of R&B-infused rock and a beloved live performer. His career spans more than six decades, during which he has continued to record, tour, and inspire artists across genres. Owning this signed sheet music for This Little Girl is not only a connection to one of Bonds’ signature songs but also to a pivotal moment in music history when two generations of rock—1960s R&B and 1980s heartland rock—came together. For collectors, it is a rare chance to hold a piece of memorabilia that bridges eras and celebrates the enduring artistry of Gary U.S. Bonds.
