Little
Anthony & Clarence Collins - Little Anthony & The Imperials Little Anthony and the Imperials enjoyed
longevity, having hits in both the doo-wop
Fifties and the soul-music Sixties.Their first record for End
Records was a double-sided ballad smash. The "A" side, "Tears
on My Pillow", instantly launched their career into musical history.
This would be one of their biggest-selling hits, with over one million
copies sold, and has been one of the most enduring love ballads of the
'50s. The flip side hit, "Two People In The World" made this
one of the most popular double-sided ballad records in vocal group history.
Little Anthony and the Imperials had back-to-back Top Ten hits with
“Goin’ Out of My Head” (#6) and “Hurt So Bad” (#10). The group was announced
as inductees to the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame on January 14, 2009 and were inducted on April
4.
