My great grandmother is 81 and she said that she went to a dance...a sock hop... with her friends and met a boy from another school. A couple of weeks later at another dance that boy gave her a corsage and kisses her hand and her cheek. She was 16 and he was 18...they will celebrate their 65 years of dating and 63 years of marriage in August. She said that their first dance was to Little Anthony....the first dance at their wedding was Little Anthony...he is the first song played every anniversary for them...and they still dance together!!! Thank you Little Anthony..........
❤so sweet..🎶🥂🎉🕺🏾💃🏽
@@psackbrown1 thank you......
Great!
I’m from ft Greene where lil Anthony is from total prop to him his work and his fam gb him and his legacy
Oh, what a wonderful!!! Great history...
Mr. Gourdine ( better known as Little Anthony ) !!!! I remember watching you all preform from around the age of 5 in 1963 on through the enjoyment of watching you all in this video here in 2023 . Your legacy is nothing short of impeccable . You'll forever be entrenched in the hearts and minds of people , and fans , from all over the world .
Little Anthony has a beautiful voice plus the group overall is great
My Father passed in June 2022. He didn't have anything physical to leave..in fact we had him in my home for Hospice. We made sure his last days were filled with the music of his time and family. I can recall the last time he was responding. In The end we played just the beautiful sounds of nature. My Fathers Legacy for me is his teaching of doing what's right which I did in the end, but he also leaves a Legacy to me of the music of his youth which Little Anthony and the Imperials are part of. It has had a profound impact to me as a musician. His memories of this music of his youth are mine in the 1970's via CBS FM in New York. When I hear these songs, they are also my childhood memories. He couldn't play an instrument and he sand like Edith Bunker but what an influence in my musical education. With that any time I listen to this music he's with me.....
Sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies on the loss of your father.
Life's inevitabilities... Condolences and continued musical blessings to you. Many can't stand the music their parents enjoyed. Seems like you and I were the lucky ones.
I’m 71 years old. I can remember when his songs we would kick back and sing along with him.
This is what you call Extremely Original and Extradinare. THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD EVERY MUSIC AWARD KNOWN TO AND FOR MUSIC.
The IMPERIALS were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
Little Anthony GOURDINE , Clarence COLLINS, Ernest WRIGHT, Sammy STRAIN, G Nate ROGERS, & Tracy LORD.
That's when music was 🎵🎵 MUSIC!!! What Wonderful memories!!!!!!
Can you objectively describe what makes " music, music?
You can tell who the very best artists are by how well they perform live... these ones do that and more...
I really love lil Anthony and the Imperials.
8o
It's really impressive that this man is 80 and kept his voice in such great condition
Absolutely 👍 The First Time I Saw James Brown & The Famous Flames Back In 1966 At The Rockland Palace In NY, I Was Blown Away!
I remember as a kid listening to my older brother's and sister's music and Little Anthony and James Brown was definitely included in their repertoire. My twin brothers always went to James Brown concerts.. Music was a big part of our lives such that our mother saw to it that we learned to play instruments. But Little Anthony can still sing really well in old age. I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show years ago too.
“Hurt So Bad” is one of my back in the day all time favorites
Mr. Gourdine, you'll be remembered for the remarkable vocal stylist you were. There aren't many in history in your league.
Agree.
THE " ONE AND ONLY " LIL ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS FOREVER ❤❤❤
This is an absolutely stunning documentary about a wonderful group I have heard and loved all my life. TJ has outdone himself. The reason I sought out this video is because Little Anthony and the Imperials will be touring with the Happy Together Tour this summer and I have tickets. Anthony is about 82 years old now, as are many artists on the tour. I am really looking forward to this concert! Long live Little Anthony!
I remember in 64 Going out of my head, came out I heard the bass first back then it was call Stereophonic LP l was about 9/10 kids was outside playing stick ball not the kid, me and Little Ant née, were hanging out. Love it!
I’m 67 and I still can’t come out to to play , shop it’s time for the concert to begin. Peace to all.,
Pure talent and class.
This man makes me shed tears every time I watch this video especially when he sings wind beneath my wings
One of the best groups of all time
Thanks so very much for this program. I met Little Anthony in Cleveland ,Ohio in 1965. I was a side musician on a date at LEO'S CASINO. I was working with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles at that time. Man what a time .I look back and tell my grandchildren who I worked with the people I have met, they just look at me you know. But programs like this keeps the memory strong in my head and guys like myself who were around and played this music. Thanks so very much for this.
SMOKY and the Miracles and LITTLE ANTHONY and the Imperials were close friends back in the day. SMOKEY talked about them on an interview l watched .
Leo's. Those were the days.
Little Anthony💖🕺👬🧑🤝🧑🌟🤩
Great!🎼🎵🎤📀🎥📺💯👍👏
From Hong Kong🙋♀️🌏💝🌺🥰
Always loved him! Incredible voice, awesome group!!🙂
" Goin Out Of My Head " , came out at a time , late '64, when I had a mad crush on a girl who barely knew me, & only " as a friend " , so I'd sing this to her, every time I played it or heard it on the radio. ----------------WolfSky9, 75 y/o

When I first saw Anthony I was living in Harlem on 132nd street he had a girlfriend lived in the same building as my family did he would come late at night around 12 we knew that cause he would call her name coming up the stairs Joyce we would peep out of our door memories priceless
Love Little Anthony and the Imperials great fan

This is such a gem 💎
That take me back really gets me. I’ve been there.
Absolutely amazing! He still has it!
Incredible and magical
Hello from Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽
A lot of people don't know during the late 70s one of their members who is back with them now and he's on stage in all the clips shown here was a member of the Ojays and enjoyed great success with them when one of their members died. When the Imperials reunited he left the Ojays after spending around 20 years or more with them to get back with the Imperials. In case anyone is wondering I'm talking about Sammy Strain, what a blessing to have success in not just one group but two.
Those of us that are music buffs, already know. Anthony has indeed taken care of his voice over the years.
My favorite group of that era.
So talented. 💗🌹
Beautiful!
All of his songs are like a concept album though all singles, which is incredible.
I grew up in the music revolution, and at the time I had no idea just how unbelievably great it all was. November 2022.
I grew up with this tremendous artist and his music.
🤍THANK YOU TJL, FOR BEING SO FAITHFUL, BY KEEPING THIS MUSIC ALIVE. I REMEMBER, WHEN YOU USE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FATHER'S INFLUENCE ON YOU!!!
I absolutely loved this documentary!! The songs brought back so many memories. I was only 5 years old when some of these songs came out, but I remember them being played in my home. I will never forget Little Anthony and the Imperials. ❤
Blessings, this is a fantastic tribute to an amazing artist & group. Always well groomed professional and super vocals. I pray everyone hearing & reading this enjoys it as much as I- Fatima The Faithful does. Thank you for bringing this to us. Much love
Thank you Lil Anthony and the Imperials.
YOU WERE DEFINITELY MY HERO.
Your Song is our memories thank you Sir and your group
This is so true. How bad things were during that time compared to what people changed. Music then was so loving from the ❤️. Feelings of emotional things of love is take me back to where it was so OOO different. This is more reason why people is falling back to listen bc it was special. Yesterday for today. Many words I can say but it was. Love 😘👍
When I think of Little Anthony & The Imperials, I think of the total class they always presented with-------sang with-------class, the likes of which, we'll not see or hear, ever again. ---------------------------WolfSky( , 75 y/o

Grew up with little Anthony and his music back in the day
Achieved a lifelong ambition a few years back when I saw Anthony perform his and my favourite ‘Hurt so bad’. Will never forget it, as good as I knew it would be. Thanks my brother, God bless Little Anthony Gourdine.
Love it!! Love the music!
This is fantastic ---------the group was / is, a legend forever. -----------------WolfSky9, 75 y/o
They still got it ♥️
Hurt So Bad
I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here Im looking at you
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad
To see you again
Like needles and pins people say
You've been making out OK
She's in love don't stand in her way
Well, let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so bad
It's gonna hurt so bad if you walk away
Why don't you stay and let me make it up to you
Stay I'll do anything you want me to
You loved me before please love me again
I can't let you go back to him
Please don't go please don't go
It hurts so bad it hurts so bad it hurts so bad
I'm begging you please please don't go please don't go
I had the great good fortune to have stayed late at my Music Center of LA office one day when the guard calls to say Mr. Gourdine is there asking if my boss was still in. I didn't recognize the name immediately but went downstairs to take a message since my boss was gone for the day. Mr. Gourdine introduced himself saying "you may be too young but you may remember me when I was known as Little Anthony." He had worked with my boss on a project some time back and stopped by to say hello. My mouth dropped open and I was FLOORED having Little Anthony there before me and of course, I gushed all over him and offered to walk around with him to see who he might know that still worked there. He was so humble and gracious and I was so thrilled to find a writer there who was as much a music fan as I and we both lost our minds with joy to meet and spend a little time with him!
Excellent !!! Thanks
Great beyond words🥰
Goin’ Out of My Head Lyrics
[Chorus]
Well, I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Over you
Over you
[Verse 1]
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
[Chorus]
And I think I'm going out of my head (Out of my head)
'Cause I can't explain the tears I shed (No, out of my head)
Over you
Over you
[Verse 2]
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
[Refrain]
Goin' out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
[Bridge]
I must think of a way
Into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
[Chorus]
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head

Goin' out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head day and night

(Night and day and night) Yeah
(Wrong or right) Oh, alright
Yeah (Night and day or night)
Everyday (Wrong or right)
Every, every, yeah (Night and day and night)
Come on (Wrong or right)
I grew up with Anthony’s music..I love him to pieces! Great voice!..fell in love many times dancing to his voice..thank you Anthony!
Just the best ever I'm almost speechless this is what pure greatest of music is all about nothing like the 50 old school all the way around 🎵📻🎙💿📀👑🎩💯💯💯💯
You will be known as the Greatest singer ( and group) alive my darling”. Don’t forget we’re supposed to sing together! 💕
I was fortunate enough to have met everyone of the original group. That is with Sammy, they have been one of my favorite groups since I was eight years old, that would have been back in the fifties. I still have fond memories from having met them about 15 years ago. I am so glad they stayed together as a group.
This gentleman is phenominal, it simply amazes how his voice just keeps getting better like an aged bottle of wine and he hits those notes effortlessly and still enjoys performing, I am an ardent fan of Anthony & the Imperials I grew up listening to them and after all these years I am still impressed by his vocals. To be honest, I am most grateful to have savored this music and my son even loves this music, so I have given the baton on to my family. Thank you for bringing so many fond memories of my childhood.
Beautiful love it
A TRUE LEGENDARY SUPERSTAR. WHAT A BIG UNIQUE. VOICE. !!
I decided to listen and watch this performance. I was always aware of Anthony and the Imperials. I followed them since I was 16-I'm now 75 now. One of the The things I admire them is I never heard anything about bad discord in the group like some of the other groups. Anthony has to be in his early 80's and still going strong. I lost my voice way before that.😅😂.
Im thrilled the memories brighten my day at 72 yrs old my recall in my school yard dancing to shimmy. I was in 4th grade that song gathered everyone together we all came from different back grounds and for that moment time stood still. We need this again to love and respect one another. Peace To Anthony bless you!
Wow! Began seeing him live while at The Citadel in late sixties. Just saw him live in Jacksonville, Fla. Still one of the greatest voices ever. Blessed to have heard him often.
Jim Arnold
WOW WOW WOW!
That’s all I can say.
Mr. Gourdine your were born with an unmatched talent to touch the hearts of souls with your golden voice.
You have embodied the art of tugging at the heart strings of the young and old.
You along with the Imperials show charm , grace and poise in your stage proformance.
You elevate the level of showmanship with your priceless and matchless gift.
You are truly an element of unsurpass music genius and your legacy will live for a very long time. God bless Sir!
I Must Say TJ You Did a lot Of Research On Music 🎵 Your Shows Are Great And This Story Is Timeless Thank You For All The Gemini Man NYC 📀📀
I was born in Chicago, 66yrs old!!! I remember hearing this song!!!
Teddy Randazzo wow when he and Anthony got together it was pure magic unfortunately at the cost of a lost love for Mr Teddy Randazzo. But Anthony's voice oh my God is a special gift from God, superb, magnificent.
I loved this so much ❤️
Great documentary.Please do more.
I saw Little Anthony at a club in Jersey around 1969. Between shows he was standing around watching another group and I said hi, he was so gracious. You rock!
.
Little Anthony grew up in Fort Greene Projects in the 1950's..There were 2 most dangerous Gangs from Fort Greene PJ's called The Mau Maus & The Chaplins..Myrtle Ave at that time had the Elevated Train going across all Myrtle by Fort Greene pj where many stand & sang Doo Wops as well
Awesomeness and Greatness, Lil Anthony and the Imperials!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦅⚘⚘⚘🎵🎧
Oh yes I forgot to say this 2023 April and still enjoying this old school music because told a story talking about love, life, sadness, happiness that is what all of those artists song about ❤😢😊
My cousin used to play the music, and our Jamaican music, Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae and many music at our home growing up!!

Little Anthony brought the World together.
Thank you for the music memories! ❤❤❤
I am truly your biggest fan. I am 57 and since I was a child I would listen to my mom playing your music and I became your biggest fan❤
Wow! His voice remained amazing even into his later years! He's been an important part of my generation for over 50 years. ❤❤❤
I seen Little Anthony and the Imperials, around 8 years ago in North Wales in the UK.
His performance was Immaculate, but i would of liked him to have sung 'Better Use Your Head' and 'Im Gonna Fix You Good' but i guess, that his age was going against him.
I will never forget this once in a lifetime chance i had to see him.
Absolute GOLD!
Thanks for playing Lil Anthony
Rip Daddy
I just saw Little Anthony in person at the 2024 NY State Fair and at 83, he's still got it!
One of the BEST documentaries I've ever seen!! Lots of memories and tearjerking moments yeah to you!!
I was five years old, but I sure remember the excitement of the musical late fifties and sixties. I was aware of music all my life due to my Mom singing with a Sweet Adelines quartet. This is a great doc.
Anthonys real legacy will be his relationship with Jesus Christ. His relationship with music is great, but what really matters is his connection to Jesus. He loves the Lord, and that's what really matters.
@judahsamaria, could you do me a favor, a friend gave me little Anthony's gospel collection, someone took it from me, i've been trying to get these collection but all efforts are in vain.
I LOVE YOU, LITTLE ANTHONY... What a beautiful soul, wonderful person and magnificent singer... They just don't make them like this any longer... 👌👌👌
Haven been born in the middle fifties, this was the music of my parents and mine as well. "Little" Anthony and the Imperials are a class act, great performers. The music of the thirties to the sixties is still so dear to me because this is what I was brought up on.
Little Anthony & the Imperials the most brilliant groups of the dowoop era with the greatest emotional lead vocalist ever.
It's like this from the beginning we sang . As a child Jennie had it as well as her Mom and her sister. But it's so strange they were called to sing spiritual songs. It made a person wonder what they would of become. 😢but we think the Lord for the road they are on today.
What a beautiful voice.
I like to hear little Anthony and I mperials sing he had a beautiful voice I still like to listen to old school music will live for ever rap is here now so is old school and little Anthony and imperials the OJS TEMPERTATIONS ,SMOKIE ROBERTSON ,AND The Spiners hands up for old school 🙌🎤🎶🎹
I know what your legacy is, sir. Greatness. Greatness. Perfectly rendered emotion. Perfect timing. Love you Little & Big Anthony
