"My Little Corner of the World" (sometimes recorded as "In My Little Corner of the World") is a 1960 love song with music written by Lee Pockriss and lyrics by Bob Hilliard.
It was first recorded by singer Anita Bryant in 1960, as "In My Little Corner of the World", and released on the album of the same name. Bryant's version reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. [1]
It was also recorded by singer Marie Osmond in 1974, again as "In My Little Corner of the World", as the song of her album that also bears the same title. This version was released as a single, and reached the Country Top 40 chart.
The song has since been recorded by various artists, including:
Paul Albert Anka is a Canadian and American singer, songwriter and actor. He is best known for his signature hit songs including "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby".

The Osmonds were an American family music group who reached the height of their fame in the early to mid-1970s. The group had its best-known configurations as a quartet and a quintet.

His composition "Love Me for a Reason" saw global success when covered by The Osmonds including a number 1 in the UK charts in 1974. His most famous solo recording was "Hang On in There Baby" recorded in 1974, which reached the Top Ten in the United States and number 3 in the United Kingdom.

The song is notable for making the American Top 20 three times: for Steve Lawrence in 1963, for The Happenings in 1966, and for Donny Osmond in 1971.
