Mary Small grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where her father was a local vaudeville performer. As a child, she was friends with Baby Mary Rose, who was a big star by 1928. This was around the same time that Small made her first appearance on radio - she was 6 or 7 years old. In 1933, at 11 years old, Small got her first break after making a singing appearance on NBC radio's Rudy Valle Hour. The following year in 1934, Max Fleischer featured the 11 year old in a Screen Songs cartoon performing Love Thy Neighbor. The song had been introduced the same year by Bing Crosby in the film We're Not Dressing. In the Fleischer film, Small is introduced as "The Little Girl With The Big Voice" - a title she was heavily being promoted under. Small was the original entertainer that performed with this title, which was later used by Judy Garland and Jackie Evancho. Throughout the 1930's - 1950's Small was a very prominently featured on radio, television, Broadway and film star.
