Thank you for reacting to my father's songs. I'm his eldest son. I will pass this reaction over to my pops. Go down the rabbit hole. They were inducted inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in April 2009 by his friend Smokey Robinson.
Andre, your pop’s the tops! Bought “The Very Best Of” for my mom’s birthday. She played it over and over. Kinda keeps her memory alive to hear it again.
Nice meeting you on here! 😊
I was born in 1955. I have loved your dads music since I was a kid, but there are a couple of songs that never fail to literally make me break down in tears and this is one of them, sigh....Please let your dad know that he is such a gift to the rest of us mortals! And thank you for sharing!
@@pattimurphyrocks Thank you very much for your kind words. I will speak with him this week. He just got off the 4 month "Happy Together" tour this week. He's home resting now after selling out most of the tour dates. Standing ovations every night.

I had your Pops greatest hits CD in my Mercury "years" ago. I gave the car to my youngest son and I left the CD in the car.
I asked for it a long time ago...but he wanted to keep it. Because him and his wife wanted it. So I agreed. 🤣🤣 So I just ordered one today after ALL THESE YEARS. Because I heard it again on the T.V. 🤣🤣
Tell your "Pops" thanks for the music and his beautiful voice. He's a legend !
👍
There is a live concert version out there of little Anthony doing " Hurt so Bad " he is in his 70's in that clip and his voice was still phenomenal ❤️❤️❤️ You really need to listen to it ❤️❤️❤️
Oh yes. This is one gifted singer. That live version will literally take your breath away. It's phenomenal.
Ahhh These Young Folks today….
Just Now…Discovering the songs and groups of OUR ERA…
Seeing the power and greatness of OUR era of music… when groups actually SANG SONGS…Rather than TALKING, SHOUTING, and SWEARING to a monotonous, repetitive BEAT..Now you guys know why we OLD FOLKS DONT LISTEN to the RADIO ANYMORE…
AINT NOTHING WORTH LISTENING TO!!
That’s how great singers were back then and Little Anthony was one of them, they made you feel like it actually happened to them. I’ll never forget this song, brings me back to when I first heard it playing all over the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. “Hurt So Bad” was another great one by him you’d get the same feeling. And as others mentioned “Im on the outside looking in.” Great songs!
Going Out of My Head gets the most attention and deservedly so, but the song "I'm On The Outside Looking In" is another gem that goes under the radar for some reason. Check it out...its a great song. 👍
Abbey Road Always one of my favorites!
Yes, The Outside Looking In is one of my all time favorites.
I Agree
This makes me think of my dad. I always loved his generation of music and these songs keep his memory alive. RIP, Dad. I miss you everyday.
Love all his soings, Hurt so bad, Shimmy Shimmy coco bop, I'm on the outside looking in, etc.
They were an amazing group, and Little Anthony's singing was absolutely beautiful. This song goes back to early-mid 60's, but in the video you watched, it's them appearing on Soul Train during the 70s
Thanks. That threw me because I was sure this song was from the early '60s and didn't get the color TV and 1970s attire.
Any song by Little Anthony & The Imperials is a treat!! This is one of their best. My favorite of their songs is Tears On My Pillow.
I was 10 years when this song hit the charts, So many great groups back in the day and they were one of them. "Tears on my pillow" is another great song by Little Anthony.
Lol I was around that age myself when I first heard this gem😁
When you're ready for more from Little Anthony and the Imperials, check out "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop" (1960), "I'm On The Outside (Looking In)" (1964), "Hurt So Bad" (1965), and "Take Me Back" (1965) among others.
And " Tears on my Pillow. "
Lol… naive white people
All Heavyhitters
He went from Tears On My Pillow to Going Out Of My Head. HE'S SENSITIVE ! 😥
I’m so glad my son shared this video with me and thank you for featuring my Dad’s music. He’s still performing in his 80s and is blessed his voice is still gold.🥰
I just love this group. My absolute favorite from that era. And I enjoy hearing Little Anthony sing to this day.
I think the sign of a great singer is their ability to make the listener think that any song they sing is their story.
Yes, they have to make the listeners feel it and the meaning
Love little anthony
I saw Little Anthony right before the Pandemic shut everything down. At 80 years old he kicked ass on stage!
Little Anthony and all of the original Imperials are still alive and well and before Covid were still performing. Listened to this along with another great tune Hurt So Bad as a young elementary school kid in 1964 on the good ol,AM radio deep in the evenings this and Hurt So Bad were probably HUGE make out tunes.
They were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.Tony
Hurt so bad is another great song
Finally, A reaction to Little Anthony! ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely love his voice! Great singer! One of the greatest songs in music history
Actually they were inducted in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Hit Parade Hall of Fame, sure deserve it!!!
Late '64, early '65, this was MY song ! Written by Teddy Randazzo, & Bob Weinstein, arranged & produced by Don Costa, for his DCP label. --------------classic 'Soul " ---------------------MJL, 76 y/o
I've always loved this song, but only knew it from Oldies Radio that my folks played when I was in elementary school! I used this song as my audition for my high school musical production when I was sixteen. I'm forty now, and I'm love your reaction to it!
Absolutly one of my top 5 songs of all time. SO DAMN PRETTY & DANCEABLE WITH YOUR LADY !!!
I rem. Little Anthony & the Imperials from when I was a kid..hearing them on the radio & tv shows back in the day...brings tears 2 my eyes hearing him & this awesome song again. Back when music was so Real..& heartfelt. I hope he is still living 2day. 🙂🙂💕💕
This song and Baby I need your loving by the Four Tops are like the apex of pop music, short, polished, rising orchestral crescendo and declension, beautiful backup singing, with a dash of soul sizzle, it has everything!
What a classic song you never get tired of listening to that one
I had the great pleasure of seeing them in person at Georgia Southern University-Hanner Fieldhouse in 1967-68. It was amazing and unforgettable!
His voice is beautiful 😍. It literally takes my breath away. 😍
"Goin' Out of My Head" was penned by the great Teddy Randazzo, a long-time friend of Little Anthony and the Imperials.
one of the best voices ever_hurt So Bad also great
This song still works today. Timeless. Like Little Anthony's voice.
Terrific singer great song choice❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest voices of all time-they just sing all love songs from the heart
Little Anthony! One of the most unique voices in rock. So, when this song was first released, I was a kid. And it was played in the old shack that we put our ice skates on in, before skating on Strubel's Pond. Love it! Day and night!! French horn!! Wow! Exactly right, Mel!
I always loved Little Anthony's music. This song is from 1964. This is also my favorite song of his.
Boy he has a beautiful, emotional voice.
Love this
This is a spectacular performance by this singer. I loved it immediately when it came out. Love the intensity.
Thank you for a musical trip back to my childhood. Great music and good times
Little Anthony sings this song the best of all, he sings many songs 🎵 with his great voice that will touch ❤️ heart and soul
Great song... I grew up with this music..so glad to see people appreciating this music again!😎
Oh, to be born with a voice like that.
Swinging on the front porch swing with my sister singing this at the top of our lungs in 1970 when Dionne Warwick did it. Love this!
I love this era of music. Only thing, back then, one had to wait for it to play on the AM radio. When certain songs came on, someone would say, "Turn it up!" and everyone would stop n' listen. May you all live long enough to have 'Back-in-the-day' stories.
I sa we Little Anthony in còncert last month. He is now 83 and still sounding good.
He's actually 82 right now
It was soul searchingly precious to see the expressions on your faces all the way through this tune. Soul Train was the stuff every Saturday morning.
I LOVE THE DANCING & THE 'FROS!
They were one of the great groups of the 1960's. Little Anthony had a beautiful tenor voice that can reach falsetto scales with ease. He was extraordinary and one of the greatest singers ever.
This song [Going Out of My Head] came out in 1964 and was a monster hit for them.
And in 1965 their other hit song "Hurt So Bad" would also become one of their greatest hits ever.
I was a 10-year-old boy when I first heard this...Awesome memories.
Love the oldies.❤️
I’ve always loved this song. His songs are my favorite to sing for karaoke.
O.m.g!!!!!!! His voice is outstanding. I have heard this song before, but not sung by him. I don't know who it was. But it certainly wasn't Little Anthony. Oh, be still my beating heart. 💓
Lil anthony, so glad you guys appreciate our generation!
I had the chance to meet him at a Radio Station sponsored show extremely close to my home. Nicest guy you would ever want to meet. Only thing he made PERFECTLY CLEAR before he started was “PLEASE don’t call me Little Anthony!” He said I’m short granted, but I have ( I think it was 6 or 8 kids, and like 20 Grand kids! So after that he put on his show, and it was just as good as it would have been when he was a kid. He greeted and talked to everyone there including myself and my buddy. He talked to us almost 20 min and we discussed his career and what was his favorite thing about being him as a singer in his heyday. Simple. I met my wife and we raised one big family and since I’m basically retired, I do a show or two like this a couple times just to make people happy which makes me happy, and that about covers it. He was so cordial to everyone except when he got fired up about DON’T call me Little!!! Even that ended in a joke. We all thought he was gonna blow a gasket. But it was all just in fun. But he said seriously don’t call me that. I haven’t gone by that in 50 years. Then the short joke. But we all had a great time, and like I said Nicest guy you’d ever want to meet.
Great song by Little Anthony and the Imperials. Another gem by them is " Take Me Back"
The greatest groups of the 1960s! They had a great catalog of music this is just one of their songs… Like memories bring back
TEARS ON MY PILLOW. IS FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Little Anthony sings with so much feeling and emotion.They have a funny song called" Shimmy Shimmy Coco pop". Performing.since age 15 back in 1957.Still at it.
Little Anthony sings so beautifully…I’m going out of my head just hearing him sing!👍👏👏👏🥰🌺♥️💙
This was my Mother's music that turned into my music when I was 10 years old in 1969. I've bought his album several times. I just wear them out I guess! 😊
Hurts so Bad. One of the best by them. Give it a listen.
Mel... 100% correct. That's how you sing a song!!!!!👍💥
Amazing!! Always Loved That Song.
i saw them 4 times in 1 week in the 1960s at the Town Hill club in Bklyn. N.Y. Yeah ,they were amazing to see in person in a small club .
$5.00 cover charge for 2 drinks served together plus Little Anthony & the Imperials.
They have so many great songs! Oldies but Goodies!
In my youth I had the great pleasure of seeing Little Anthony and The Imperials 3 times, all during their early years of "Hurt So Bad", "I'm On The Outside Looking In", "Tears On My Pillow", and "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko Ko Bop". Of course, for me it was easy, since the entire group came from the Fort Greene Projects here in Brooklyn, NY, which was about a little more than a mile from my house.
Love it!
His "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Pop" is mind blowing
Anthony Gourdine One of the smoothest voices I have ever heard. I love his music!
His concerts were phenomenal
Real music no doubt
All their songs have this vibe.
Shawn man your facial expressions seem to say that you wished you would have grownup hearing these songs. You are a trip just to watch. Cool
This is my favorite song by them! :)
Little Anthony & the Imperials are still performing! Anthony Gourdine is still in fine voice, even though he is now in his 80's. He said it was Frank Sinatra who gave him some advice that enabled him to take his art to a higher level. Sinatra told him to think of the lyrics and their meaning while singing. That was it. The light bulb got turned on! This song and the way he sings it is proof that he took that advice to heart.
Growing up in downtown Brooklyn N.Y. in the 60s I saw Little Anthony & The Imperials perform a few times at the Murray the K Rock n Roll shows at the Brooklyn Fox theater, Little Anthony & the Imperials were from the Fort Green Projects and harmonized on the street corners. Great Voice! Check out '' Just Two Kinda People in The World'' live acapella
Oh you were so Blessed! I was never allowed to go anywhere!
I did not know they were from NY.
Jerome “Little Anthony" Gourdine was born on January 8, 1941, he's now 84. Love him and listened to him growing up in the 60's. Great music at that time. Look up some of his videos, Hurt So Bad is one I love.
He's actually 82 right now.
The music that came out during the Vietnam era , true soul.
💯🙏
Now this is real music. Anthony was a great singer. Really bringing back some memories.
Little Anthony modulated his voice like a real singer.
You guys should have more subscribers because your the best! I will see what I can do! Love you!!
This song is burned into me since I first heard it almost 60 years now.
I love this song so much! Little Anthony is an amazing singer! Great reaction to this!!
Another great song doing this time period is Ruby. And the Romantic, Our day will come
So classy ❤️
Same Little Anthony and the imperials 5 * love love love him
Should have said I seen Little Anthony and the imperials 5 * love love love love him
Appreciate you two reacting to very old and underrated gems
I’ve always loved this song.
This just brought back memories. I was a teen when this song was out. I'm 70 now so do the math
2 People in the World, the flip side i believe to Tears on My Pillow. Nice song.
Don't miss "Tears on My Pillow "
Little Anthony tiene una voz bellisima y canta maravillosamente. Es de mis cantantes favoritos
Whoa🤩this song is a diamond👏👏👏👏
Awesome harmonies too😍
this song was very big in 66-68. everybody, i mean everybody was singing it and it's not just because of the story. the melody, the vibe was what we used to call "classy."
I was only 15 years old when I first heard Little Anthony and the Imperials. He had a haunting voice and is unique even compared to Smokey...two rare voices and takents...those were the days of uncomparable music!!! (Wish you could've been there! 😘)
That brought back memories of high school dances. I admit I teared up a bit
He is still singing, seen him two years ago & he was fabulous!!
They had mega hits! One note and you knew who it was.
The song is from Late, '64, I had just turned 18 y/o, in September.------Written by Teddy Randazzo, & Les Weinstein, produced by Don Costa, for his label, DCP. ----------1st time I heard it, I rushed to the record store I used to go to, " Harmony Records "in old Downton Denver-------got home, & as I ALWAYS did, I played it about 20 times in a row .-------What times, they were !
Background singers, full orchestra, a bandleader - Bob Costa was blown away from Little Anthony's performance - Believe or not this was on ONE TAKE!!!!
