Viola - Little Girl [Club Mix] (2001)

This is a special Mother's Day edition of Dollar Bin Radio. For this occasion, I would like to present a song that has been stuck in my head since I first heard it years ago.

This very soulful New York Gospel House track, "Little Girl" by Viola Sykes, was released in 2001 by the reliable Nervous Records label. This song is wonderful for not only being lush, musical, and extremely catchy, but for capturing a certain motherly nature in its lyrics.

Viola does not approve of your outfit.
Here, girls are reminded by Viola (or insert your Mom's name here) that they are beautiful and strong, and that they should put some clothes back on and win a man's respect. This might not be my philosophy 100% (people with less clothes on deserve some respect too) but hey, mother knows best.
