Four Little Diamonds

About Four Little Diamonds

"Four Little Diamonds" is a song by the British rock music group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their 1983 album Secret Messages. It was also featured on their compilation albums Afterglow (with a slightly longer intro) and Flashback. The single did not do very well in the US, spending only 2 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaking at number 86. It also charted low in the UK peaking at number 84. The song refers to the search made by the singer for his cheating lover who emotionally conned him out of a ring which had 'four little diamonds' set into it. There was also a UK 12 inch JET 3 Track version with "The Bouncer" on the B-side. more »
