"Precious Little Diamond" is a song by Dutch funk band Fox the Fox, originally released in 1984.
The single peaked at number 5 in Germany and the US and became a hit in France, UK, Italy and Belgium.

George Michael was a huge fan of the song and introduced the band to CBS Records in 1984.
Dieter Bohlen from Modern Talking has been cited with this song as the inspiration for using falsetto choruses in his songs.
In 2013, the song was sampled in The Weeknd's song "Wanderlust". The Weeknd samples the melody, the original chorus and a part of the original lyrics.

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of "Precious Little Diamond", the 4 best versions are now availble on a 12", including the Shep Pettibone remix and Ben Liebrand remix. This 12" is only available at Record Store Day.
