      "Little Town" is a new arrangement of the traditional Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" by English singer-songwriter Chris Eaton. Eaton adapted the lyrics (with some rearrangement of parts of verses) to a new melody he composed in a contemporary Christmas music style. It was first recorded by English singer Cliff Richard and released as a single in the UK for the 1982 Christmas season, reaching number 11 on the UK Singles Chart.
      In the US, the better known version is the rendition by renowned CCM artist Amy Grant, who included it on her 1983 album A Christmas Album.

The recording featured singer and vocal arranger Tony Rivers and countertenor Nigel Perrin.
