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.

Little Anthony was HUGE back in the day!0

"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.

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.

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.

That is when singers had style and real voices

This great singer is still with us today and preforming until this day...seen him a few year back...

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.

Great choice. My favorite of theirs is "Hurts so Bad", it really shows the power of his voice

There will never be music like this again...100% class act. Beautiful voice!

There's endless music like that on "AMERICAN BANDSTAND"

All Little Anthony and the Imperials, but please do I'm on the outside looking in next. A must do next love the 2 of you.

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).

I saw them in concert with the Lettermen in 1967 in Albany, Ga. One of the better concerts I saw.

Just two kinds of people in the world - Little Anthony

One of my favorite songs and one of my earliest memories is hearing my father playing this song.

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 👍👍💚💜💙🌹🦋

P.S. When he sang Tears On My Pillow,he was only seventeen. That was in 1958.

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 👋💝

Just look how classy they were back then! Good haircuts, nicely dressed, and very well put together. Look what we have today. It's a shame!

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!!!!!

Great Reaction guys. Little Anthony & The Imperials is a good rabbit hole to go down. Also please react to The great Jackie Wilson on Shindig: Baby Work Out She's Alright Danny Boy No Pity In The Naked City

There was so much really good music back then.

I think my mama says he was about 15. She loved him. The platters too. She just passed. This makes me happy to listen to her music ❤️❤️

Treasured songs!! Thank you for sharing these songs. God bless

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOSH GEORGE. ANTHONY YOU CREATED SOOOOOO MUCH MORE THAN A DIMENSION OF WHAT A PRECIOUS PRECIOUS PRECIOUS CLASSIC CAN MOVE UNIVERSES TO NO END.THIS WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME WWWWAAAAAY AHEAD OF THIS TREASURE

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😊

The blueprint for many Motown groups that came in the 60s not to mention the Jackson 5 including Michael.

American Bandstand, oooommmmgggg!!! Memories, singing a long with the song. Music was wonderful then. These were artist that sang from the heart.

That does it! I'm grabbing my brown eyed girl of 47 years of marriage and slow dancing to this song. Thank you.

You guys are from 2022 and love songs 65 years back. What does that say for music of today? That was a great era!!

I remember this group from Fort Green Projects Brooklyn back in the day

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.

You guys have discovered some of the best music ever put out. Much appreciated. Your reactions are the best!

Yes , that is right , a beautiful voice from a beautiful man

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.

Your enthusiasm is contagious. I love how your eyes pop out in disbelief at 1:57.

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💯👍👍❤️😱

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).

Anthony used to perform often in Tampa Bay sounded great even years later.outside looking in a real heartbreaker

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

Hear the girls screaming, we loved this group!! We danced to this for years!

I'm on the outside looking in is my favorite.

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

I would love to have you two in my life. You two are such a fun couple.

Your "smoke on the water" opening is a blast... it never gets old.

Little Anthony is still living. He is 81

I love Little Anthony and the Imperials! Please react to my favorite, Going Out of My Head.

Ok. Back to my Jr. High years. So much good music and lots of dancing. Loved these guys!!!

If we all admit it we have all at some point had tears on our pillows over some gal or guy me being one of them. Kylie did a great version too and she also did a doo wop remix version too on the CD version. I bought it as I love the sound of the 50s its my fave era

Lenny Welch, “Since I Feel For You”. Heartbreak with music.

Yes I grew up in this music sixties. And love the seventies best decade ever

Good my favorite in my middle school sing with my friend

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 !!!!

You two are so cute,love all your reactions, it's so true they don't make music like this anymore.

Very unique voice great singing

I remember when this was released....it was a monster hit.

Little Anthony and the Imperials sounded great in live performance also. Thanks for your spot on reaction.

Going out of my head like the person said the Little Anthony imperials do that one next please love you guys🤗

My very favorite song growing up. We played it so much on my record player that we almost wore the record out. It’s also a great song to dance to.

Going outta my head is amazing by little Anthony

Man I'm 29 and play this song allot. I'm Mexican and this was some low rider songs back in the day. Before my time tho lol

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

Yesssss more Little Anthony

Many of those early 50s and 60s artists were one hit wonders who had that one great record and never had anymore.

Love you all reactions. If I am having a bad day I look for your channel and you two make my day so much better. Thank you!

Magic Sound.. excellent voice.. Unreal good

Anthony is still singing he's in his 80s and singing for the lord

The best music ever The Chantels The jive five The Duprees all of them❤❤❤❤

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!

"just 2 kinds of people in the world" B side of "Tears On My Pillow"

I was so lucky to see this group in person in a lounge show in 1968 in Las Vegas! They sang all of their hits!!!OMG they were awesome!!! Love 💘

Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop is another great hit of theirs.

"Goin' Out of My Head" is beautiful

It's nice to watch you guys enjoy this.

Now you know why we love 60-80's music.

All the babies born after WW2 from the millions of love starved warriors returning after the war created the biggest babby boom ever and by 1958 the first ones were post pubecence, and romance was in all their young hearts. By 1960 I was 13 born in 47 and all my friends and I were dancing close to the girls at our weekly dances that were held in every corner of the country. The music spoke of our puppy love and sweet affection for the opposite sex. It was our drive to procreate that fueled the music of the 50s and 60s more so than any other era IMO.

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 GREW UP LISTENING TO OLDIES N ART LOBOE. Oldies 4ever 2022

I love this song too but my favorite one by Little Anthony is 'Goin' Out Of My Head'

My mom makes me play this when we do roadtrip. She had this on a record.

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.

I Love Little Anthony ! His songs are beautiful, especially I’m on the outside looking in !

Music back then was so great whether it was dion, dean martin, Paul Anka. Whatever. It was such a great generation of music. You should listen to “ Smoke Gets in your eyes” by the Platters or Paul Anka “ put your head on my shoulder “

Love me some little anthony and the imperials

There are actual tears flowing. I was born in 1959. I heard this song very regularly growing up and took them with me into adulthood.

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.

Make sure you listen to The Diary and Two People in The World .Anthony's range is spectacular.Download those two songs A.S.A.P.

If the '50's could be described in one song, this would be it!

Saw little Anthony back in the 90's. Looked and sounded the same.

A great group of the 50's & 60's The Drifters. Songs : Don't Go Please Stay, Up On The Roof, Save The Last Dance For Me, There Goes My Baby, Sweets For My Sweet, This Magic Moment, and many more. 👍👍💯❤️

I saw the name of the song, and I hit the like button before the it started. It was one of my favorites back in jr High school

"Earth Angel" by the Penguins...

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)

How true those words were "You don't remember me, but I remember you"!!!!

You are 100% correct that they don't make songs like this anymore.

I was 2 yrs old when this song came out 1958. Anthony was 17. He just got better as he ages. Great singer.

I absolutely love this! This is the genre of music my parents loved. I know all of them! I absolutely love Little Anthony!

One of the greats!

I told you that you would love Little Anthony and the imperials.
