I heard once or read somewhere fresh out of HS that Anthony said to a reporter or answered a question upset that the Imperials were looked at as doo wop. I stopped and thought for a few seconds and flashed their songs in my head and agreed immediately. And since then when they come up i make sure to clarify their exclusion from that box because im a real fan. To me vocal groups are extremely important. Mills Brothers, Pied Pipers, Andrews Sisters, Four Aces, Mcguire Sisters, Drifters but more than any ever for me Platters, Imperials, and Ink Spots.
What a legend Little Anthony is and he is so right, his group is not doo-wop and never was. They are a soul, rhythm and blues, pop group.

Just can’t get over how amazing this interview is. Little Anthony LIVED it! Every aspect of the industry and everyONE in the industry!
As young boy , he had huge vocal range. I listen to his recordings and I'm amazed.
Thanks for sharing this educational program...wish little Anthony the best of 2021 if he's still around.
He is still around all the imperials. It’s 9/12/2021 today I talked to Clare Clarence yesterday. They all are still around alive and kicking
Salute The Legendary. Little Anthony 🎹🥁🎸🎤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
🌷LITTLE ANTHONY & Thee Imperials Are Classics🌷
They have been contempory pop for a long time. Listen to "get out of my life". Pure contempory pop.
