Samuel "Eddie" Hodges (born March 5, 1947) is an American former child actor and recording artist who left show business as an adult.

Hodges was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and traveled to New York City with his family in 1952. This began a long career in show business for Hodges in films, on stage and popular recordings.

In 1959 at age 12, Hodges became Mississippi's first Grammy Award winner for his contribution to the original Broadway cast soundtrack album of The Music Man for which he sang a solo and was credited as the lead singer on another song. It was the first year that the Grammys were awarded.[4] At the age of 14, Hodges recorded for Cadence Records and his biggest hit was "I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door" in 1961. He also scored a minor hit with "(Girls, Girls, Girls) Made to Love," a song written by Phil Everly and originally recorded by the Everly Brothers. He recorded for several other record labels. Before he left Hollywood, he was a union musician, record producer, songwriter and music publisher. He collaborated with Tandyn Almer ("Along Comes Mary") with whom he wrote and published several songs and owned his own music publishing business. Hodges continues to write songs today but is no longer involved in the music industry.
