The Warner Theatre Welcomes Little Anthony and the Imperials, 6/8
By: Kelsey Denette
On Friday, June 8 at 8pm, Little Anthony and the Imperials will grace the Warner stage for one performance only.
Little Anthony and the Imperials were one of the finest vocal groups to emerge from the talent-rich New York scene. Moreover, they enjoyed unusual longevity for an act of that type, having hits in both the doo-wop Fifties and the soul-music Sixties. “Tears on My Pillow,” their first single, was released on End Records and became one of the biggest hits of 1958, reaching #2 on the R&B chart and #4 on the pop chart. Other hits included the uptempo “Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko Bop,” “Goin’ Out of My Head” (#6), “Hurt So Bad” (#10), “Take Me Back,” “I Miss You So,” and “I’m Falling in Love With You.”Videos
