Experience R&B and Doo-Wop Legends Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Few bands in music history have left as indelible a mark on R&B and doo-wop as Little Anthony and the Imperials. Formed in New York City in 1958 by Clarence Collins and fronted by “Little Anthony” Gourdine, the early lineup also featured Ernest Wright, Tracy Lord, and Nathaniel Rodgers. As the Little Anthony tour brings timeless harmonies to stages across the country, their breakthrough arrived with the 1959 debut album Tears on My Pillow and its Top 10 title track. Blending heartfelt ballads with uptown soul, they quickly became a defining voice of the vocal group era.

Their legacy is cemented with inductions into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame (1999) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2009). With multiple Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—including several Top 10 singles—the group’s soaring tenor leads, tight harmonies, and smooth orchestral arrangements influenced generations of R&B and soul artists. Their music continues to resonate with fans of all ages.
