I am Little Anthony's eldest son. I want to thank you for reacting to my father's songs 'Tears On My Pillow'. It is always refreshing to see younger generations liking his songs. Go down the rabbit hole. He was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. He still tours the country mostly on the east coast. Thank you again for your kind words. I will show him this reaction.
I have been listening to your Father since at least 1962. Love his music. The video of him singing two kinds of people in the world during the Kenny Vance interview video is solid gold. It;s like being there with him.
@@barryfitzgerald2077 Thank you Barry. Just Two Kinds of People is my favorite song as it is done Accapella. You've been listening since 1962 and I was born 1961.
@@elijahtheprophet2202 He is doing great. Just released a double album Anthology. I believe one of the songs has been nominated for a Grammy. He is still performing on the road.
"Tears On My pillow" (1958). "Hurt So Bad," (1957) "Going Out of My Head," (1959) "Shimmy Simmy Ko Ko Bop," (1954) are just a few of their hits done back in the 50's. This great song shows how great Little Anthony and the Imperials were. Great reaction as always.
Yes, and with the Chesters “the fires burn no more” will slay! Absolutely great singer, and I got to see him live in the early 80s. And he’s still going! ❤️
Hurt so Bad and Goin Out If My Head was not in The 50’s but “1964, during the early 60’s with Teddy Randazzo leading them out of that Doo Wop sound and when they had their best music. Including those 2 songs, “I’m on The Outside Looking In,” “Hurt,” “Never Again” and several others
So many hits by Little Anthony & the Imperials - "Goin' Out of my Head", "Hurt So Bad", "I'm On the Outside (Looking In)" - all written by the talented Teddy Randazzo, a long-time friend of the singers in the group.
@@michaelasay8587 "Singer Jerome “Little Anthony” Gourdine was born on January 8, 1941, to Victoria Stafford and Thomas Elliot Gourdine.Apr 6, 2007. Anthony Guordine, 75, is alive and well and as close to an American music legend as you can get."
Before the mid 90s you had to really be able to sing, to be a singer. There was no autotune. You either had talent or you didn’t. That’s why music before mid 90s and earlier sounds so much better than music now.
Yes, yes yes yes yes but it is more than just autotune that has ruined music. Mostly it’s corporate greed that promotes no talent trash like Taylor Swift.
You know what it was about and how sorry I feel for this younger generation who if you watch enough of these reactors they truly wish to be born I. That time.
Love Little Anthony & The Imperials❤️ Along with" Tears on my Pillow", they have other known hits too: "Two People in the World" (I think Little Anthony does some very sweet falsetto here too👍), "Goin' Out of My Head," "Hurt So Bad," "I'm on the Outside Looking In" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop" (and others I'm trying to remember lol). This group (Little Anthony included) are still performing today from what I read😊
Little Anthony...God...he was so special...Any song you can find of theirs you won't be disappointed..."On the outside looking in". One of my favorites.
Little Anthony was the man....Loved everything about him He can make u fall in love with your enemy...God Bless this beautiful man with such talent.....❤
Yes. Little Anthony and the Imperials always played in this little shack by the ice skating pond we went to when this song was current. Plus we tried to sing it to the girls we met when our drum corps marched in those fireman's day parades. Yes. Nothing like it.
First time I heard this song, I went right out and bought the album. Still have it. The lyrics are grand (not one "baby- baby), his beautiful voice so clearly enunciates each lyrical hearfelt word with emotion (the term Soul was still in the future) and clarity. Little Anthony and the magnificent Imperials were class, class, class personified on the stage.
You guys are on an amazing run of listening to the great music of the 50's and 60's. Youv'e done some great reactions to it and we can see that you love it and why not? keep digging and enjoying... great stuff !!!!
Little Anthony and the Imperials our N.Y. founded in the 1950's "Shimmy, Shimmy Ko Ko Bop ", " Going Out Of Head", "Hurt So Bad". Anthony Gourdine (lead singer) had two acting gigs: the Jeffersons(80's) and Siren (2006).
Welcome to the world of "Doo-Wop" The harmonies were the style of the era. So smoooooth. The Fifth Dimensions and the Platters were also some wonderful groups. So many to choose from. I was born in 1943 so I was blessed to be able to experience each era of music in the moment. Still enjoying the music of today and attend several concerts per season. Helps keeps my spirit young. lol
I saw them perform about 15 years ago at a DO-WOP concert and Little Anthony's voice was just as good as you heard it here in this video, and the SUITS they wore were GORGEOUS at the concert I saw. Sort of a salmon pink with a little bit of sequins on the shoulder area. I LOVE when groups dressed the same in cool clothes, not just showing up in whatever they might have on that day like many groups do now, I LOVE all the Little Anthony and the Imperials songs
I had the great pleasure of seeing Little Anthony and The Imperials 5 times back in the early and middle 60's. After all they came from the Ft. Green Projects in Brooklyn, less than a mile from where I was born. The music I grew up with.
I was lucky enough to catch the end of the doo wop era, Little Anthony and the Imperials was my favorite group as a little boy in Brooklyn where I could hear guys singing in the stairways of the apartment building (great acoustics).
Oh my gosh guys GOOD FOR YOU GUYS!!!! I am sooooooooooooo so so glad you guys did this wow so happy right now. I cant tell you how good this feels right now. God Bless you guys!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOSH GEORGE. ANTHONY YOU CREATED SOOOOOO MUCH MORE THAN A DIMENSION OF WHAT A PRECIOUS PRECIOUS PRECIOUS CLASSIC CAN MOVE UNIVERSES TO NO END.THIS WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME WWWWAAAAAY AHEAD OF THIS TREASURE
Probably the most underrated pop group of all time. That's their voices not technological enhanced. Got to see them about 10 years ago in Detroit. Incredible: incredible: incredible!
OMG I love how old school this is! I was 10 in 1959 so remember this all. You guys are good at feeling this music from other eras....Little Anthony & the Imperials!!! Awh love it.
Absolutely love this song, was a suprise as I was expecting another "tears on my pillow" song. The one I knew was reggae style and done by a great singer called Johnny Nash. Look him and react! Peace and love to this shiney couple S + M that i subscribe to, love from Scotland who has American Citizenship 👋💝
Yea...this was Ralph Tresvant before Ralph Tresvant and Frankie Lymon was MJ before MJ came along...Little Anthony is still alive and well...I miss Dick Clark...he was a major force in the music world
I was 7 years old when this song debuted. This is truly the music we grew up on. Great music from Little Anthony and the Imperials. Yes, go down their path!!
Little Anthony is great and still around, do "Hurt So Bad" from Ed Sullivan, "Shimmy shimmy Ko-Ko Bop", "Going out of My Head", (do the Live emotional performance), all classics. Love you two, always on the upbeat, God bless.
Get me back to those precious days of my youth and its music. It sometimes seems like only yesterday. Check out them doing "Two Kinds of People In the World." And they're still singing!!!!!
Another great song 👍👍 Mannnnnnnnnn I love Love Love 💚💜💙 Music. From the 60, 70s and 80s I just think back then They had best music👍👍😁😁 Definitely 👍👍💚💜💙🌹🦋

Yes! “Going Out of My Head” is my fave by Little Anthony.

Brooklyn's own..
Teddy Randazzo is so underrated as a writer & producer. This man wrote some of the most memorable songs of the 1960s
I'm not the only one! "Outside Looking In"!!!!
All the songs you named are wonderful classics. I would also add the fun tune, "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop."
@@jdw5678 Yes, I dig it too!
This great singer is still with us today and preforming until this day...seen him a few year back...
Huh? He’s not here anymore.
Alive still

FACTS 💯.
Basically, before T-Pain
That is when singers had style and real voices
There's endless music like that on "AMERICAN BANDSTAND"
Rate-a-record 😁. It had to have a good beat to dance to. ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼
You know what it was about and how sorry I feel for this younger generation who if you watch enough of these reactors they truly wish to be born I. That time.
"it we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate.
I gladly take you back!
And tempt the hand of fate"

Great Reaction..I loved Little Anthony all his songs..what a great voice
Little Anthony was HUGE back in the day!0
I Love Little Anthony ! His songs are beautiful, especially I’m on the outside looking in !
Royalty! A blend of voices like this does not come along too often. And what do you say about Anthony, just melts you with emotion.
P.S. When he sang Tears On My Pillow,he was only seventeen. That was in 1958.
First time I heard this song, I went right out and bought the album. Still have it.
The lyrics are grand (not one "baby- baby), his beautiful voice so clearly enunciates each lyrical hearfelt word with emotion (the term Soul was still in the future) and clarity.

I was 2 yrs old when this song came out 1958. Anthony was 17. He just got better as he ages. Great singer.
Just two kinds of people in the world - Little Anthony
He has a fantastic voice. Over looked in my opinion. One of my favorties is Hurt So Bad.
Always remembered and loved ,"Little Anthony and the Imperials!!" Forever! 💝💞💞

He made girls all swoon. He was our Michael Jackson. Bring back love to young people's music. No electronics just great voices and electricity.
Little Anthony and the Imperials sounded great in live performance also. Thanks for your spot on reaction.

There was so much really good music back then.
Anthony is still singing he's in his 80s and singing for the lord
One of my favorite songs and one of my earliest memories is hearing my father playing this song.
I remember this group from Fort Green Projects Brooklyn back in the day
"Goin' Out of My Head" is beautiful
I think my mama says he was about 15. She loved him. The platters too. She just passed. This makes me happy to listen to her music ❤️❤️
We had such great groups and music in the 60's and 70's
I was so lucky to see this group in person in a lounge show in 1968 in Las Vegas! They sang all of their hits!!!OMG they were awesome!!! Love 💘
Little Anthony & the Imperials -- so fun to watch your reactions!
Lenny Welch, “Since I Feel For You”. Heartbreak with music.
LOVE it 😀 😍 ❤
Just wow...music to soothe the soul..

I miss seeing gentleman dressed so nicely and coming out doing their thing. So handsome and talented. Music meant so much back then.
Very unique voice great singing
That does it! I'm grabbing my brown eyed girl of 47 years of marriage and slow dancing to this song. Thank you.
The best music ever The Chantels The jive five The Duprees all of them❤❤❤❤
In those days, they were talented STARS. The music was pure and unadulterated by technology as today and there is no good music today.
Little Anthony "Just two kinds of people in the World", "Hurts so Bad" & "I'm on the Outside Looking In " are all great songs by him !
Going outta my head is amazing by little Anthony
OMG I love how old school this is! I was 10 in 1959 so remember this all. You guys are good at feeling this music from other eras....Little Anthony & the Imperials!!! Awh love it.

I absolutely love this! This is the genre of music my parents loved. I know all of them! I absolutely love Little Anthony!

American Bandstand, oooommmmgggg!!! Memories, singing a long with the song. Music was wonderful then. These were artist that sang from the heart.
He was huge! He had many great hits.
If you like Little Anthony check out "Sooner or Later". It's around 1973, but he had such a great voice. A fair amount of hits too.
It's nice to watch you guys enjoy this.
Real Music!!!! They was all so talented.
YAY, Little Anthony and The Imperials. Lots of slow dancing to that song. 👍👍👍
Now you know why we love 60-80's music.
I love this song too but my favorite one by Little Anthony is 'Goin' Out Of My Head'
Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop is another great hit of theirs.
Love me some little anthony and the imperials
Magic Sound.. excellent voice.. Unreal good
Treasured songs!! Thank you for sharing these songs. God bless
That's Little Anthony and the Imperials
One of my most favorite singers.
