"Little Star" is a song recorded by The Elegants. Members Vito Picone and Arthur Venosa co-wrote the lyrics. The music was adapted from "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". When released as a single in 1958, it topped both the R&B Best Sellers list and the Billboard Hot 100; however, it was the only song that ever charted for The Elegants. Reportedly, the Elegants refused to pay payola to a prominent New York disc jockey, which inhibited air play of their follow up recordings. Little Star went on to chart at #27 on the pop charts, #2 on rock charts, and #10 on R&B charts.

Phil Spector described it as an "awful good record". Other artists to record this song include Dion, Randy & the Rainbows, The Slades, Vera Lynn, Linda Scott and Bobby Vee. A small portion of the song was performed by Paul Simon as part of the 1989 Dion song "Written on the Subway Wall." (en)
