No bad recordings in my books ( but I am biased ) , but if asked to state a favourite track , it has to be " I'm On The Outside Looking In " Atmospheric is not the word : sheer quality . https://youtu.be/Ih530Yttz_k Malc

Cunnie Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Very rarely call anyone on this scene a legend but will make an exception in the case of Little Anthony & the Imperials. Sounded good back in the day & still do now. I Ain't Fallin from the You'll Never Know CD album from a couple of years ago. 1
Benji Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 "Payin' our dues" -probably one of the best big city 60's soul albums. All killers - no fillers! Here's my favourite from that album. Pure beat ballad heaven (or is it hell in the context of the song?) Little Anthony & The Imperials - Lost without you

Tomangoes Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I remember when the double header got released with b u y h and g f y g in the mid 70s and I played it to death. Obviously the lucky buggers who were around for the original releases were spoiled with all their other sweet soul releases. Not sure how many original imperial's were in the 70s/80s imperial's, but they made some nice soulful tunes as well like ' whose gonna love you've etc. Ed 1

THAT lineup included Clarence Collins, Jerome Anthony Gourdine (Little Anthony), Ernest Wright, and Sammy Strain, ALL of whom had been with the later End group, but Strain was not an original group member (he joined 1 year later, when Nate Rogers left). They were together from late 1963 through about 1976 or 1977, when Anthony left again for a second try at a solo career. So, the late 1977- the 1980s group had only Clarence Collins as an original member. The classic group got back together in 1992, for gigs on The oldies Circuit, and remained together until 2004, when Sammy Strain died. From 1961-the end of 1963, "The Imperials" (WITHOUT Anthony) operated as a different group, recording for Capitol Records, Double-L, and a couple other labels, with Collins on lead, and little success, but with some nice R&B/Soul transitional recordings (all of which I bought). 1
Tobytyke Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Some of their later recordings on Avco were very good, Especially like "La La La At The End" 1
Bruv Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Huge Fan of Little Anthony & The Imperials here, really got to like Never Again having first heard it on a Greatest Tracks CD 1
Bruv Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Big Thank You to Little Anthony & The Imperials for giving us the Timeless Classic Better Use Your Head, there are other versions that have come along, But this is Still the Best by a mile. 1
