Little Ain't Enough

A Little Ain't Enough is the third full-length studio album by David Lee Roth (at the time former, now current, singer of Van Halen), released in January 1991 through Warner Music Group. It was certified gold on April 11, 1991. Produced by Bob Rock, the album featured the lead guitar work of Jason Becker, a then up-and-coming guitarist who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) a week after joining the band. He managed to finish recording the album, but was unable to tour in support of the album, as his condition left him with little strength in his hands. The profile of the album was initially increased by the controversy surrounding the promotional music video released for the album's first single, A Lil' Ain't Enough; featuring barely dressed women and oddly dressed little people, the video was banned from MTV shortly after it's initial airing. A second single and video was released for the song Sensible Shoes but airplay on MTV was limited secondary to the provocative nature of the video.
