1969 Johnny Winter, Uncle John Turner and Tommy Shannon "His solo break came while hawking an album he'd recorded with "Uncle" John "Red" Turner (drums) and Tommy Shannon (bass) for an obscure regional company (Sonobeat). The Rolling Stone journalists Larry Sepulvado and John Burks caught wind of it and wrote a celebratory piece, entitled "Texas" stated, "Imagine a 130-pound cross-eyed albino bluesman with long fleecy hair playing some of the gutsiest blues guitar you have ever heard.", catapulting Winter from local hero to headline status at New York's Scene club and the prestigious Fillmore East."

JUST WANT A LITTLE BIT.
DON`T WANT MUCH,
NO, JUST WANT A LITTLE BIT.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
EARLY IN THE MORNING,
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
LATE IN THE EVENING,
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
`ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT,
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
WON`T YOU WALK WITH ME,
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
TALK TO ME,
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
TURN THE LAMPS DOWN LOW,
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
LOVE YOU SO,
LOVE ME A LITTLE BIT.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
TURN YOUR LIGHTS DOWN LOW,
AND KINDLY SLIP ME A KISS,
TURN YOUR LIGHTS DOWN LOW,
I JUST CAN`T RESIST.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY

I WANT YOU FOREVER,

NOT `TIL THE END OF TIME.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
I WANT A LITTLE BITTY ITTY-BITTY
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR LOVE.
The song "Just A Little Bit" by Johnny Winter & Uncle John Turner is a simple plea for love and attention. The singer claims not to want much, just a little bit of the love of their romantic interest. The singer is persistent in their quest, asking for a little bit in the early morning, late in the evening, and around midnight. They ask for a little bit of walking and talking, and even suggest turning the lamps down low for some intimacy. The singer is clear about their desire for a little bit of love, and want it not just temporarily, but forever.
The lyrics of the song are straightforward and uncomplicated, yet convey a universal sentiment towards the need for love and attention. The singer wants a little bit of love, and while the words may seem small, the message is strong and unyielding. The song is a reminder that sometimes, the simplest of things can mean the most, and that love is often found in the little things that we share with those we care about.
