James Milton Campbell, Jr. (September 7, 1934 - August 4, 2005), born 7 September 1934 in Inverness, Mississippi, better known as Little Milton, was an American blues singer and guitarist, best known for his hit records "Grits Ain't Groceries," and "We're Gonna Make It." Little Milton had a career that spanned from the mid-1950s up until shortly before his death in 2005, recording for labels such as Sun Record Company, Chess, Stax and Malaco Records. He legally dropped "James" as a first name after learning of a half-brother with the same name.
