"Precious Little Diamond" is a song by Dutch funk band Fox the Fox, released in Spring 1984 as the second single from their debut studio album, In the Dark of the Nite.
The single peaked at number 11 on the Dutch singles Chart, staying on the chart for 7 weeks.[1] In Germany it peaked at number 5.[2] In the US it peaked at number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play Chart.
Dieter Bohlen has been cited with this song as the inspiration for using falsetto choruses in his songs, such as Modern Talking, C.C. Catch and Blue System.[3] In 2013, the song was sampled in The Weeknd's song "Wanderlust", on his album Kiss Land. The Weeknd samples the melody, the original chorus and a part of the original lyrics.
