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😊
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.
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.
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 !!!!
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.
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!
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).
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.....❤
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 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).
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 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.
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
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!!!!!
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 👋💝
May she live in paradise this was on my grandmother's top 10 songs I love the fact yall like doowop it set the style for love music keybword love I love and miss my grandma so much
Got to meet Little Anthony & The Imperials in Atlantic City about 11 or 12 years ago. Got his autograph ad well as that of each member of the Imperials. Other songs Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop, Going Out Of My Head, Two Kinds Of People In The World, Hurt So Bad, Take Me Back, On The Outside Looking In💯👍👍❤️😱
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!!
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 👍👍💚💜💙🌹🦋
I love this song! It reminds me of Grease and the scene at the dance! This is an amazing song and a classic! I love these old classics too, they are way before my time but they touch my soul!❤❤
You can't go wrong even now here in 21st century. Still go out crusing with your lady as well as your crew going no particular place to go. Of course being at home chilling with some good food as well.
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!
Love Little Anthony in the imperials I hope you play more of his records as when I first learned how to dance I can still see myself when I was really young I think around 14 or so and my dad used to work a second job at the dance club on Saturdays and that’s why I learned how to dance I was the only white girl there but I sure learned how to dance and that’s one of the first songs I learned how to dance and believe it or not hi it came to me naturally LizThe queen
I was three when this song came out and can remember my older cousins dancing the stroll to this song in their living room. They got me started at a very young age! Love it that you're doing these really old oldies. Strolled right on through the sixties, seventies and beyound. Love you guys.
The Little Anthony/Imperials songs you want to hear are "Hurts So Bad" and "Going Out of My Head" as mentioned by others here. They'll KILL you! (in a good way, of course)
They sounded just like that, too, performing live. I know. I was there: 1967. The other band appearing with them was the same: Junior Walker and the All Stars. What a show!

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

Great choice. My favorite of theirs is "Hurts so Bad", it really shows the power of his voice
Yes!
There's endless music like that on "AMERICAN BANDSTAND"
Rate-a-record 😁. It had to have a good beat to dance to. ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼

I Love Little Anthony ! His songs are beautiful, especially I’m on the outside looking in !
P.S. When he sang Tears On My Pillow,he was only seventeen. That was in 1958.
Brilliant, love these guys. Great memories

"Goin' Out of My Head" is beautiful
That does it! I'm grabbing my brown eyed girl of 47 years of marriage and slow dancing to this song. Thank you.
I was 2 yrs old when this song came out 1958. Anthony was 17. He just got better as he ages. Great singer.

YAY, Little Anthony and The Imperials. Lots of slow dancing to that song. 👍👍👍
