    Hi Modern Renaissance Man. I am Little Anthony's son, Andre. I would personally like to thank you for reacting to my father's songs. I am appreciative of the comments as well. He still does shows on the road. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April 2009. Because of this Covid stuff, he and all other performers have not been able to perform. Look for him to return to the stage after they open up venues again.

    I love the much older music. It feels much more real than the new music and not so techno pop. (It's not bad, but it gets old fast because it's so mainstream. Classics like this though never do.) Plus, it's wholesome music that cleans the soul.

    I loved this one. I've always loved this style of music...doowop or strolling music, someone called it. Or whatever it is. I loved Oldies radio stations as a kid and teenager.
    I loved music that was good enough to obviously withstand the test of time. I paid more attention to older music BECAUSE it was older. I loved "antiques"...which was almost anything "older than me", lol.
    Now I'm far older than the contemporary music of my youth, as compared to how much older this song would have been to me, when I was a kid. 35-38 years older versus this song was probably less than 10 years old when I was born.

Ernest Wright's sister's Marie and Ilink, were in my dance class. I went to junior high school with them as well. They lived in the neighborhood.

MRM- if you're in the mood for more, try 'Whispering Bells' or 'Come Go With Me' by the Dell Vikings, 'The Wanderer' by Dion & The Belmonts, or 'The Book Of Love' by The Monotones- think you'll enjoy!

    Anthony was born in '41, so in 1958 when this song hit the airwaves, he was 16/17. But it was Alan Freed, the famous disc jockey and producer, who named him "little" Anthony, because of his young voice.

  • @helgar791
    @helgar791 5 лет назад +1

    Little Anthony grew up and sang on the street corners of the Fort Green projects, not too far from where I lived. I was quite common to hear doo-wop bands singing on street corners under the street lights (which shone straight down in those days) and in the subways and hallways for the echo. I had the great pleasure of seeing these guys 5x back in the day at the old Fox Theater with the Murray The K review. When men were men and women were happy with that. Try all of the "Platters with Tony Williams" songs. Just unbelievable.

    Jerome "Little" Anthony Gourdine was 16 when he and the Imperials recorded this song. The group had been known as the Chesters until Gourdine left another group (Duponts) to join them and they changed their name to the Imperials. This was their first record for End, and was actually a two-sided hit, with the flip "Two People in the World" being the more popular song in several key markets. Within a couple years, Anthony went of t try a solo career, and the group kind of disintegrated. When he came back, with one and a half personnel change, (two left, one new one joined and they became a quartet) popular music was changing. They reinvented themselves with a more mature sound, and came back stronger and more popular than ever, with songs like "Hurts so Bad", "I'm on the Outside Looking In" and "Goin' Out of My Head".

    For a while in the 1970s, I lived across the street from the Cambridge (Mass.) Public Library Central Square Branch. One night I heard some wonderful music coming through my open bedroom window. I looked out and saw several teenage boys gathered under the concrete overhang in front of the library (which apparently provided pleasing acoustics) singing one Little Anthony and the Imperials song after another: Going Out of My Head, Hurt So Bad, I'm on the Outside Looking In....I don't think they reached back into the mists of the '50s for Tears on My Pillow, however. Perhaps they would have tackled that next if a police car hadn't pulled up in front of the library. The officers apparently instructed them to find another place to sing, for the concert came to an end, to my great dismay.
