BOBBY GOLDSBORO....................LITTLE THINGS..................TURN IT UP! Goldsboro wrote the up-tempo "Little Things" after his producer, Jack Gold, encouraged him to continue writing ballads after the series of such songs Goldsboro had composed and recorded. Goldsboro cut this song, along with the other tracks on the album, in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Nashville</a>. Goldsboro had originally intended the song to be recorded in 2/4 time, but after hearing a copy of "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh,_Pretty_Woman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Oh, Pretty Woman</a>" that his friend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbison" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Roy Orbison</a> had sent him, he changed the beat of "Little Things" to 4/4.The arrangement was done by Goldsboro and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Justis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Bill Justis</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Stevens" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Ray Stevens</a> sang the back-up vocals."Little Things" was recorded on November 19, 1964 at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Studios#Columbia_Studios" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Columbia Studio B</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Nashville</a>.
