GUEST,henryp ADD: Little White Bull (Lionel Bart, 1959) (32) RE: ADD: Little White Bull (Lionel Bart, 1959) 06 Feb 23


A hidden meaning? I don't think so!

According to Wikipedia, "Little White Bull" is a song by English rock and roll singer Tommy Steele, released as a single in November 1959. It was included on the EP Tommy the Toreador from the film of the same name in which Steele also starred.

When reviewed in Melody Maker, both sides were described as "easy-to-listen-to numbers, especially Little White Bull, which has a Children's Hour flavour about it". Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "Little White Bull" as "a jingly novelty ballad with Tommy using his Cockney accent for the title phrasing".

Steele's royalties from the single's sales were donated to the "Variety Club of Great Britain fund for a cancer research unit for children". The song peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart and it was awarded a silver disc in January 1960 for 250,000 sales in Britain, apparently Tommy Steele's first Silver Disc.
