Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mark Boyce wrote 'Hey Little Girl' in 1962, and that song became his calling card. It was a ballad that connected with listeners, though the details around its inspiration seemed to follow him. He was from Chicago, and you can hear some of that city's blues and soul in what he did.
He recorded other songs like 'We Gotta Walk Together' and 'I'm Sorry for What I Said,' but 'Hey Little Girl' was the one people remembered. He worked with pianist Bob Crewe at times, but mostly he was on his own. The story around him got complicated, with talk of personal troubles and controversies that made his career uneven.
He kept writing, putting out songs like 'I've Been Hurt This Way Before,' but the spotlight never quite settled. What's left is that one big song and a handful of others, a Chicago voice that had a moment in the early sixties and then faded into the background of pop history.
