Little girl - Sandra

Released as the third and final single from Sandra's debut album 'The Long Play', 'Little girl' rose to number 2 in Israel and number 3 in Italy. In other countries, the chart performance was disappointing, peaking at number 12 in Germany and not charting in the Netherlands at all.

Perhaps it's not surprising: 'Little girl' wasn't the big surprise 'Maria Magdalena' and 'In the heat of the night' were. Sandra and her husband Michael Cretu were smart enough to realise that new material was needed; later on in 1986 they would release Sandra's second album with new singles to accompany it.
