Heavens to Murgartroid! Had NO idea until now that Lou had done his own version of this classic 60's tune. Like Little Anthony, he has a perfect high pitched voice for it. Enjoyed very much hearing it today for the first time. MANY thanks for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! :)
God I love Christie's voice but it's just not right here. Also I don't like what he did with his backup singers. Christie just didn't use his beautiful falsetto here right until way later in the song.
i dont think i like this version. black people have something in their voices white people cannot re-create. now i am white and have nothing against white entertainers, but blacks sing with heart and soul!
A song writer gets HALF of the profit from any recording, so he wants more than one artist to sing his song. If LC could sell this record to a certain fan base, and Little Anthony sold to another, then the SONG writer made off of both. No matter how good a singer is he HAS to have a song to have a hit.
No offense to Lou, but why even try to follow-up the sound of Little Anthony & the Imperials? Try though he might, Lou does not add a thing to the superb group sound of the original and the teenage angst that L.A. & Imperials so aptly conveyed.
Shaddup iotbs6. Anthony didn't own the song. Tears on My Pillow was written by Bradford/Lewis and covered by Bobby Vinton, Bobby Vee, Martha & Vandellas, Reba McEntire, Neil Sedaka just to name a few. Not only did Lou Christi do a great version of Tears on My Pillow, Lou Christi also wrote lyrics & music to his own hits. Anthony had no writing talent, he's the one who had to use everybody else's material. Only other hit Anthony had was "Goin' Out of My Head" written by Randazzo/Weinstein. Pttt!
Lou is still a great performer. This was originally a giant hit for Little Anthony and The Imperials, another fantastic name to add to the list for all the "oldie but goodies" that are still with us. Keep goin' Lou.
j adore merci lou

Actually, it was first released in 1958 by "The Imperials" (who are now referred to as "Little Anthony & the Imperials")
