- Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Little Anthony, Lead Singer, “Little Anthony and The Imperials”
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s special guest, Little Anthony, is a legendary superstar whose highly recognizable and extraordinary voice created the signature sound for one of the most popular and beloved vocal groups of all time: Little Anthony and the Imperials.
With his smooth, savvy voice that could sing 3 octaves and a falsetto, he’s been immortalized in dozens of multi-platinum hit songs including “Tears On My Pillow”, “Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop”, “I’m on the Outside Looking In”, “Goin’ Out of my Head”, “Hurt So Bad”, “Take Me Back”, “Better Use Your Head”, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind” and many more.
They were the first contemporary music group to perform at the Copacabana nightclub in New York. And they gave dozens of show-stopping performances on TV, on “Ed Sullivan”, “American Bandstand”, “Hullabaloo”, “Shindig”, “Soul Train” and every talk show and variety show. They were featured in 3 PBS specials, and our guest’s amazing voice can be heard on the soundtrack to 11 movies.
In 2014, he released his moving and compelling memoir entitled, “Little Anthony: My Journey, My Destiny”, which provides a fascinating look into the man behind the music.
And now, he’s released a highly acclaimed, NEW collection of songs - a 2-volume CD set entitled “Little Anthony & The Music: An Anthology”, containing 40 memorable selections including some of the hits, some that should have been hits, some previously unreleased songs, and his new single, a refreshing R & B take on Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”. He has an immensely popular show on SiriusXM 60’s Gold, and he will soon be seen in a brand new PBS Special entitled, “The Musicians’ Green Book: An Enduring Legacy”, premiering in December.
Our guest received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Pioneer Award and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Hit Parade Hall of Fame, the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, and the most prestigious of them all, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I love that I’m being known as “the interviewer of legends”. That was my hope when we launched this show - to interview iconic stars of stage, screen and recording studio. Little Anthony is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee whose amazingly fluid voice and great songs definitely qualify him as a “legend”. This in-depth interview gives you a good sense of who he really is. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for giving this man his flowers while he can still appreciate them. Great intro as well!!
Your feedback and support means the world to me. Thank you so much !🙏❤️
Anthony and the Imperials was one of the very few groups that made it through the historical period of musical changes. Most group members who sang in the 1950s faded away during the 1960s never to hear from them again. Versatility is one of the key factors that made Anthony and his group so successful. Moreover, there is a spirit of brotherhood, a deep friendship that held them together like glue. Lastly, they were willing to leap out and do something different or unusual they weren't tied down to classical R&B or doo-wop. Great interview, thank you for having Anthony on your show. I have his CD I hope many will purchase a copy.
Thank you so much for watching this very special episode of our show. Please spread the word!!
🙏❤️
Little Anthony is a phenomenal singer!! There was only one. He is very blessed and realizes it. So he knows that he has a gift.😊
He certainly does. It was a great honor having him on our show
An awesome group of singers. Love them all.❤🎉
I hope you enjoyed the interview
Harvey, this was an outstanding interview. Little Anthony is truly a national treasure, even an international treasure. I am 37 and have been a huge fan of his music. He really is blessed as he still looks and sounds great even in his 80’s, if only we can all be so lucky!
Thank you so much for watching this episode of our show, and for your very kind comments. I hope you’ll check out our many other great interviews, and that you’ll consider subscribing to our TH-cam channel
This interview was awesome! Such an icon! It was so interesting hearing the history from his first hand experience!
This interview almost didn’t happen. Anthony had no idea how to use zoom. We had to talk him through the process on his cell phone. Then when we finally got him on the screen, he couldn’t get his microphone to work. FINALLY after half and hour of fiddling, he figured out what the problem was, and it worked!!! Whew!!!
Little Anthony!! A fabulous interview! You are indeed an interviewer of legends!
Thank you so much for watching!!
I listen to them often.
Me too

You're great. You are getting some amazing legends to talk about their lives. Anthony is one of my favorite performers. I saw him sing when I was in 8th grade, in 1978.

hurtso bad and wishful thinking is my favorite song
Mine too
You really should call this channel A DEEP DIVE INTO (insert name)
Nope. It’s gonna stay “Harvey Brownstone Interviews”, although my preference was “Examination in Chief with Harvey Brownstone”. But I was outvoted by my management team. I’m the host of the show but I only get one vote!!
I would love to have that tape
Which tape?
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 The one he just realized with 40 of his hits
I’m wondering if that clip of “Tears On My Pillow” was from that Saturday night Beechnut show that Dick Clark hosted between 1958 and 1961 at 7:30pm?
Yes it was. Thanks for noticing. And thanks for watching!
Little Anthony is great but I believe that Sheena Easton's version was used on For your Eyes Only Movie,,,
You are correct
😁
❤️❤️❤️
