Groupe US de Doo Wop
formé en 1958 à New York. Little Anthony And The Imperials comprenaient : "Little" Anthony Gourdine, Ernest Wright, Clarence Collins, Tracey Lord et Gloser Rodgers. Le groupe avait de très bons instrumentistes, chose rare dans le Doo Wop. Ils ont enregistré pour End, Roulette, Apollo, Savoy, DCP, Veep, United Artists, Janus et MCA Records et vont flirter avec les charts pendant plus de vingt ans.
le groupe s'est dissous en 1975.
Little
Anthony & the Imperials enjoyed one of the longest career runs of any doo wop
group, adapting their honey-smooth style to fit the sweet uptown soul sound of
the mid-'60s. Right from the beginning, Little Anthony's aching way with a
ballad was the group's calling card, but their repertoire was balanced by more
R&B-inflected dance tunes. Little Anthony was born Jerome Anthony Gourdine in
1940, and grew up in Brooklyn's Fort Greene projects. While in high school, he
sang in a doo wop group called the Duponts, who recorded a single called "Prove
It Now" in 1957. They disbanded after graduation, however, and Gourdine joined
another group called the Chesters, which had been formed by his friend Clarence
Collins (baritone) and also featured longtime friend Ernest Wright, Jr. (tenor);
the other members were Tracy Lord (tenor) and Nat Rogers (bass). After a one-off
single for Apollo, they landed a record deal with the End label in 1958, at
which point their name was changed to the Imperials. ("Little Anthony" was later
tagged onto the beginning by DJ Alan Freed.)
The Imperials' first single for End was the classic heartache ballad "Tears on
My Pillow," a Top Five smash on both the pop and R&B charts. Little Anthony's
dramatic interpretation was certainly helped in the public eye by his youthful-sounding
voice and name, which recalled the recently popular
Frankie Lymon. The single's B-side, "Two
People in the World," was also something of a hit, making the Imperials one of
the hottest Vocals groups around. Landing a follow-up hit proved difficult,
however; the group charted several singles — "So Much," "Wishful Thinking," "A
Prayer and a Juke Box" — without even approaching their earlier success. Finally,
the novelty dance track "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop" caught on in 1960 and
returned Little Anthony & the Imperials to the upper reaches of the charts (though
it missed the Top Ten). The follow-ups "My Empty Room" and "Please Say You Want
Me" flopped, however, and Little Anthony decided to try a solo career in late
1961.
The Imperials continued on with a new lineup of Collins, Wright, Sammy Strain,
and George Kerr, the latter of whom was replaced by Kenny Seymour in 1962.
Neither Little Anthony nor his erstwhile group had any luck on their own, and in
late 1963 he returned to the fold, replacing Seymour. The next summer, the
reconstituted Imperials signed with the DCP label, where producer/songwriter
Teddy Randazzo made them a
priority. His first effort with the group, "I'm on the Outside (Looking In),"
reached number 15 on both the pop and R&B charts in 1964, reestablishing the
Imperials as a commercial presence. The follow-up, "Goin' Out of My Head," was a
smash, returning them to the pop Top Ten for the first time since "Tears on My
Pillow"; it was covered quite often in the years that followed, and grew into
something of a pop standard. The Imperials' streak of good fortune continued
with the equally dramatic ballad "Hurt So Bad," another Top Ten hit that also
became their second R&B Top Fiver in 1965. A couple of smaller hits followed
later that year in "I Miss You So" and the pop/R&B Top 20 "Take Me Back."
Little Anthony & the Imperials continued to chart singles over the next several
years, but only one — 1969's "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" — breached the Top 50
on either the pop or R&B sides. That same year, the group switched labels to
United Artists, and Ernest Wright, Jr. departed to join singer Tony Williams'
latter-day version of the Platters. He
was replaced by a returning Kenny Seymour, who was in turn replaced by Bobby
Wade in 1971, the year of the group's last chart single, "Help Me Find a Way (To
Say I Love You)." Sammy Strain left in 1972 and wound up joining the O'Jays four
years later; his replacement was Harold Jenkins. Little Anthony himself left the
group a second time in 1975 to pursue solo recording as well as an acting career,
which effectively spelled the end of the road; nonetheless, a Collins-led lineup
did manage to score one last hit in the U.K., 1977's "Who's Gonna Love Me."
Little Anthony became a born-again Christian in 1978 and subsequently recorded a
gospel album, Daylight. Anthony, Collins, Wright, and Strain reunited in 1992
and toured the oldies circuit steadily thereafter.
