It's a hot summer day in 1965.... very hot! The only thing me and the bros (even when you're 10 years old you can be a bro) could think about was cooling off. This is Watts, California and there are not a lot of places to find shade. What to do/ Where to Go? Well, let's turn on the radio while we think. KGFJ is the THE station and it's playing "Hurt So Bad" by Little Anthony & The Imperials. We danced! We sang! We acted out the song by lip-syncing and doing our choreographed THANG to the music. It suddenly got cooler... It was Magic!!
Compiling this record was easy because these songs were chosen from the heart, and each has its own vivid and lasting memory for me. ENJOY this record and remember just how special Little Anthony & The Imperials were to you. - Bill Martin
