Beautiful song. Always loved it. I took my mom to hear them in Atlanta and the performance,vocials were outstanding. The background vocals..... amazing.
One of the few that still sound as good as they did 'back in the day". Anthony still has the falsetto and the wonderful voice to go with it. Great control and lung capacity for a man his age. Love 'em!! Thanks for the posting.
I really enjoyed this performance when I saw it showcased on PBS a few years ago (I went to the mall the next day and bought the album). What really impresses me is how he captivates the audience with power and class, regardless that he is an older man.
@2441883 So, of course people can marry whomever they WANT TO, regardless of race. I'm in total agreement with that. I was simply saying that as a rebuttal to those on this site that were saying Anthony was gay....because HE'S NOT.
@williamg2552 Hi, William. I was just wondering what race had to do with it? Half the time we say it doesnt matter, then the other half, we make sure to mark differences. It is wrong, I think, and confusing to some people who may not be as mature as you and I, like our young people. To see racism decline, we could start by not acknowledging inconsequential and otherwise basically meaningless observations. God Bless!
This is the same "Classic" IMPERIALS lineup.... that originally RECORDED this song in 1965: (L to R) SAMMY STRAIN (who left the O'Jays to return to his original group, THE IMPERIALS ) ERNEST WRIGHT, Group Founder CLARENCE COLLINS, and "LITTLE ANTHONY" GOURDINE.
Please no hate response. Take it as I mean it please. This performance is a part of black history as much as Rosie Parks. Why? Because it crosses all race barriers.White teenagers as well as young white adults bought into this music. i know I did. It was pure talent. No color. We enjoyed it. As a long retired artist, I only wish that newcomers, white and black alike, look to the past. What is put out today is, forgive me, pure crap. No heart or soul. Just Dollar Signs. And yu buy into it.
@starr522 Yeah, break the color lines! Who cares!? I mean Little Anthony didn't even care since he married a white lady. So, who cares? Marry who you love and just love your live treating all people as HUMAN, becuase that's what they are, no matter what color their skin is.
Ah man!! Love this vodeo. I played it in class for my college students on Friday.. Maybe I created some new fans for Little Anthony. Thanks so much for posting this.

this group is still kickin'!!! it is an awesome group, and has been for the last 50 somewhat years!!!!! the voice they have, is remarkleable, and so smooth. you would think after 50 years they would be tired and vocaless. but amazingly they are still rockin'. as a matter of fact they were on the 25th anniversarry of rock & roll hall of fame, and they did an outstanding job!! im 19, and this type of music is way before my time, bt it is better than what todays "music" is thats for sure!!!!
Saw them in person last fall and they were amazing. Anthony's voice has gotten better with age if that is possible as it always was amazing. Incredible range and a great stage presence. One of the best live acts I have seen.
justin timerlake,usher,etc... NOT ONE of these young guys today could carry this guys
jock strap !!! youtube- CHI LITES HAVE YOU SEEN HER the one featuring eugene record. watch four 70 yr old guys sound EXACTLY like they did on their record in 72'
none of these over paid under talented punks today can compete, they'd be blown off the stage !!!
This Song & This Group Are Classics, Anthony & The Guys Are Just As great If Not Better Then They Were 50 Years Ago, They Are Like a Bottle Of Fine wine, It gets Better With Age!! Keep Singing Guys We Love Ya!!!
The BEST part of his singing starts at 1:59...Plus he sings this song better than the oringinal back in the day...Anthony just got better with age..! Dont you all agree?
The best part of the video is at 1:98...they do this song better than the recorded original back in the day plus Anthony even sings it better....he got better with age.!
What a show, even if you dont connect with the music the Imperials still sound great and professional as always. I cant get over Little Anthonys voice, what power. He looks good and hasnt even got a wig on. Marvellous, great post.
The talent remains. Now a-days you don't need talent in music to be successful. Look at all the top charts, it's a shame, all this advancement it technology, all these years of music knowledge and we come up with people like Lil Wayne (ref top comment),GaGa etc... It's a shame when real musicians don't get the big bucks these trendy "Artists" get. I guess people will buy any modern music that has the words "body, hard, club, sexy, dance" ... Shame true talent is so rare yet so disregarded now.
I see kids (mine included) bobbing their heads to the crap they listen too these days and I just shake my head. Those of you like me who grew up in an era when music was music are blessed, Those that didn't but appreciate it now are saved, Those that don't know or appreciate this music ...well...youre fucking damned to hell!
Good to see so many of us that grew up and lived through the 60's appreciating one of the many Greats of our generation.
Some of you have mentioned that what's missing today is this kind of talent. To a degree, that may be so. But what I think we find sorely lacking today is the EMOTION that these groups put into each and every song. That, and the great songwriting today is hardly great.
Perfect example of what today's music just doesn't have: Talent and class. This song is practically 50 years old and it still stands the test of time. I'm sorry, because I could be wrong, but I don't believe people will embrace today's music, 50 years from now.
old school rules. anything done today is nothing but a repeat. that goes for music notes and all. there's nothing that has not been done before. just arrainge different.
R&R -R&B- SOUL- JAZZ- POPULAR. EARLY PEOPLE DID NOT GET THE CREDIT
THAT THEY DESERVED.TODAY IT'S COPYCAT TIME. HOW MANY SONGS DO YOU THINK IS ON THE SHELF'S OF RECORD COMPANY? MANY MORE THAN YOU THINK.KNOW .
I have just watched this video 4 times, and I still want to watch it more. Time less song performed by a special group, led by a truly gifted lead singer. If you're not moved by this performance, I'm not sure that your heart is beating.
Man! What a voice and with Feeling!!!..THis guy performed this live version BETTER!! than his original years ago when he was a whole lot younger....Anthony just got BETTER with age.....it's usually the other way around as singers get older....they cannot hit that note...like they use to and just change the key...but NOT Anthony...Great Job!!
@pjerrett What's with all the Lill Wayne bashing on every single Imperials video on Youtube? Little Anythony himself said he likes much of today's music and that back then people called his music trash and old people of the 60's thought kids that sang acappella in the streets and parks were thugs. Of course you can't compare a HOF group to any new kid with a record deal as most won't pan out, but no need to say music of the past is better than today cause it's not true.
These guys still sound as good even after 50 YEARS!..In fact this live version is better than the original song when it first came out...Anthony still has an Fantastic voice even after 50 years..They are truly BLESSED...to still be singing..Bravo!!

Anthony gets better with age. This is a PBS set, I had to make a donation to get the VHS, utterly amazing.Some one tell me why it took until 2009 to get them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?
Note to ringtalk3, thanks for the Vegas headsup...
What a beauitful meaningful song, this songs means as much to me today, as it did 44 years ago. Wonder if there is any current so called "Hits" of "Today' that will be played and watched 44 years from now ?
Beautiful song. Always loved it. I took my mom to hear them in Atlanta and the performance,vocials were outstanding. The background vocals..... amazing.

Anthony gets better with age. This is a PBS set, I had to make a donation to get the VHS, utterly amazing.Some one tell me why it took until 2009 to get them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?
Note to ringtalk3, thanks for the Vegas headsup...

FrankieD92: I also had to make the donation but it was well worth it. I constantly play the DVD on my Bose system and the quality is amazing.

What a beauitful meaningful song, this songs means as much to me today, as it did 44 years ago. Wonder if there is any current so called "Hits" of "Today' that will be played and watched 44 years from now ?
