Little Anthony & The Imperials are living proof that doing what you love can keep you young forever.

This is one of the few vocal groups rooted in the 1950s that survived the changes of the following decade and continued to produce chart-topping hits. Little Anthony & The Imperials still tour and record with their original lineup - no small achievement, during a career that spans four decades. True living legends, Little Anthony and the Imperials perform out 100 nights a year - a feat envied by much younger bands.

Although their story echoes that of many groups from the '50s, Little Anthony & The Imperials have had a colorful career and gone on to achieve a degree of success attained by very few.

The group, whose historic lineup features Anthony Gourdine (lead), Clarence Collins (baritone), Ernest Wright (2nd tenor), and Sammy Strain (tenor), signed a contract in the summer of '64 for DCP Records (Don Costa Productions).  They enjoyed a great resurgence with more ballads under the tutelage of producer / composer Teddy Randazzo. 

The group went on to record several more huge hits, including:  "Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop",  "Hurts So Bad", "I Miss You So", and " Take Me Back". With amazing style, choreography, songs and a show that is unparalleled in today's market, Little Anthony & The Imperials plan to stay together forever and bring their music to the world.
