Not a Little Girl Anymore is a studio album by English singer Linda Lewis, first released in 1975. It was Lewis’ fourth album and it peaked at number 40 in the UK album chart.^[1] The album features, along with the lighter songs such as the cover of Cat Steven’s “(Remember the Days of) The Old School Yard” and the gentle pastiche “My Grandaddy Could Reggae”, more sultry numbers such as “This Time I’ll be Sweeter” and ”It's in His Kiss”. Her album made clear the intention of re-branding the singer, moving her towards a more adult audience.
