About Harvey's guest: 

Today’s special guest, Little Anthony, is a legendary superstar whose highly recognizable and extraordinary voice created the signature sound for one of the most popular and beloved vocal groups of all time:  Little Anthony and the Imperials.     

With his smooth, savvy voice that could sing 3 octaves and a falsetto, he’s been immortalized in dozens of multi-platinum hit songs including “Tears On My Pillow”, “Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop”, “I’m on the Outside Looking In”, “Goin’ Out of my Head”, “Hurt So Bad”, “Take Me Back”, “Better Use Your Head”, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind” and many more.    

They were the first contemporary music group to perform at the Copacabana nightclub in New York.  And they gave dozens of show-stopping performances on TV, on “Ed Sullivan”, “American Bandstand”, “Hullabaloo”, “Shindig”, “Soul Train” and every talk show and variety show.   They were featured in 3 PBS specials, and our guest’s amazing voice can be heard on the soundtrack to 11  movies.  

In 2014, he released his moving and compelling memoir entitled, “Little Anthony: My Journey, My Destiny”, which provides a fascinating look into the man behind the music.   

And now, he’s released a highly acclaimed, NEW collection of songs – a 2-volume CD set entitled “Little Anthony & The Music: An Anthology”, containing 40 memorable selections including some of the hits, some that should have been hits, some previously unreleased songs, and his new single, a refreshing R & B take on Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”.   He has an immensely popular show on SiriusXM 60’s Gold, and he will soon be seen in a brand new PBS Special entitled, “The Musicians’ Green Book: An Enduring Legacy”, premiering in December.   

Our guest received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Pioneer Award and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Hit Parade Hall of Fame, the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, and the most prestigious of them all, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
