Music career
Hattie began her singing career in gospel music shows and competitions. She was discovered by Motown producer Clarence Paul, who recruited her after she had won three talent shows at "Lee's Sensation Lounge." She was signed to Motown for four years, resulting in her recording ten singles. She never released a full album on that label.
After her contract expired, Littles left the music business and experienced stints of alcoholism and drug abuse.
She was rediscovered in the 1980s by British producer Ian Levine. Levine started Motorcity records, which was comprised of more than one hundred artists that previously recorded with Motown. The resulting album is available, and is entitled "The Very Best of Hattie Littles," and includes the stand-out tracks "Never Say Never," "Waiting for the Day," and "One Too Many Reasons."
Littles died in June 2000 of a heart attack.
Vocal style
Littles had a full, soulful, Gospel-tinged voice with a deep vibrato. Tracks on "The Very Best of Hattie Littles" feature short monologues or "raps", in the classical and bluesy style of Lou Rawls, James Brown, Bobby Blue Bland, and BB King.

Wow, what a discovery. I have never heard of her, I will be looking her up. Fantastic grit and soul...thank you so much for turning us onto Hattie RIP.
Brian Bell
i remember hearing about her, but never heard her sing
James Pollock
I've heard she got sentenced to twenty years in prison for taking care of a certain matter of a physically abusive spouse.

We have such a rich history of strong female vocalist that have been forgotten over the years that never got the recognition they deserve. Now you know where it comes from, and it didn't start with the Beyonce's of this generation! '

I know some people give you flack for the music history that you give verbally, but quite frankly, I like it and miss it with the newer videos without the expository element...Do what you like, I like the music, and like your comments, so i am fine with which ever way you choose to go, but would prefer the verbal history also, if I had a vote. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR POSTS!!!

Berry Gordy was too much like Phil Spector, withholding beautifully realized recordings (such as this) from release. It's a true shame Ms. Littles had but only one official release during her time at Motown.
