Little Anthony and the Imperials
Rhythm and blues/soul vocal group from New York
Little Anthony and the Imperials is an American rhythm and blues/soul vocal group from New York City founded by Clarence Collins in the 1950s and named in part for its lead singer, Jerome Anthony "Little Anthony" Gourdine, who was noted for his high-pitched voice.
In addition to Collins and Gourdine, the original Imperials included Ernest Wright, Gloster "Nate" Rogers, and Tracy Lord, the last two of whom were subsequently replaced by Sammy Strain.
The group was one of the very few doo-wop groups to enjoy sustained success on the R&B and pop charts throughout the 1960s.
