SONG LIST BEHIND OUR MUSIC

A story about Renee Mendoza and things remembered from the past - 

 We took our name from the "Little Giant" Music Store which opened back in 1948 under the name Casa Mendoza, located at 3218 E. 91st St. In the early '60s, Renee-Mendoza moved to 9121 S. Commercial Ave.  And finally "Little GIant" of South Chicago was firmly planted at 9126 S. Commercial Ave.  If you were shopping Uptown, you were stopping at "LIttle Giant."  Mr. Mendoza retired in 1993 after enjoying 45 years of success.  We asked permission to use the name to keep the memories of all of us, and all of you, alive! 

Little Giant is inspired by the burning desire to recreate the music from our past, and present the material as close to the original sound as possible.  We believe the 1960's and early 1970's was the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. The Beatles, Grassroots, Chicago, The Doors, and so many more that made our memories.  Little Giant's goal is to touch the hearts of our audience, and make them sit back and say, "Wow, I can't believe they are playing this song!"
