"A Little Bit of Soap" was a song, first sung by The Jarmels, reaching #12 in September 1961.
The song has been covered many times since: Paul Davis's rendition reached #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1970, and Nigel Olsson's rendition hit #34 in June 1979.
The song, about a breakup and lost love, was sung in a bluesy soul style by the Jarmels. It was followed up in a ballad arrangement by both Davis and Olsson.
While the song was a minor hit in the United States all three times it was released, it reached the Top Ten on the Canadian charts in 1970 for Paul Davis ("A Little Bit of Soap" was, coincidentally, his first single release).
