Little Anthony & the Imperials
Some singers sing from the throat, others from the nose or the heart. Little Anthony sings from his guts. On some numbers he sounds as if he's about to upchuck; thus lies the everlasting appeal of the Brooklyn doo wopper who has hung in there since the '50s. He's a song slugger who doesn't mess around in the studio or on stage being cute. He ...

Little Anthony & The Imperials
Rhino's Best of Little Anthony & the Imperials remains one of the best collections of the group's work, spanning their tear-stained doo wop as well as their later forays into pop and soul. Along with gathering the highlights of these styles, such as "Tears on My Pillow," "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop," "Goin' Out of My Head," and "Hurts So Bad," the ...

Little Anthony & the Imperials
Unlike the collection of the same name on Rhino, EMI's Best of Little Anthony & the Imperials focuses solely on their mid- to late-'60s recordings for Veep and United Artists. That means you don't get any doo wop, but slickly arranged pop/soul that sometimes borders on easy listening, featuring string charts and Little Anthony's choked vocals ...

With All My Love

more music like this
by
Roy Hamilton
The distinctive voice of Roy Hamilton was dramatically different from the sound Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, and other male singers were projecting to the public when this style was in vogue. With All My Love is an album that displays the singer's vocal intuition, embellished by conductor Neal Hefti's superb arrangements, an alliance ...

by
Various Artists
England's Proper label issued this 100-track attempt to sum up the state of black harmony groups between 1940 and 1952. Though there's a lot of incredible music from the era, this four-disc set overly concentrates on slow ballads instead of up-tempo numbers. The first disc, "Digging the Roots," begins right where it should, with tracks by the ...

Etta Jones
Singer Etta Jones often recalls late-period Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington on her CD reissue of Lonely and Blue. The first 11 songs find her accompanied by tenor-saxophonist Budd Johnson on four of the songs, guitarist Wally Richardson on seven, and the Patti Bown Trio throughout; the final three numbers (bonus tracks), are actually from a ...

Tracks 7-16 find Brown surrounded by strings as he smoothly intones "Pledging My Love," "Blueberry Hill," and "Cottage for Sale" (they didn't even let him sit down at the keyboard at all for these dates!).

The Orioles
This Orioles hit package is about equal to any other that's available, but pales next to the Bear Family boxed set. The now defunct Murray Hill also had a great Orioles box several years ago. Save your money and grab the Bear Family if you really want the real story on The Orioles. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

The three-CD box set Golden Greats offers, at a budget disc's price and with a budget disc's meager additions, a complex view of Nat King Cole's career. The set includes 76 tracks from his 25-year span as a pop icon, spread well throughout his various periods, and neglecting very few of his classics (among the hits on tap: "Unforgettable," "Orange ...

Once upon a time (roughly the early 50s), in a faraway land (Manhattan), there lived a group of singers, piano players, and other musicians and a fascinated audience that crowded into dozens of little clubs to hear them sing and play some of the best songs ever written. Most of them are gone now, but the music lives on in this six-record boxed set ...

Set Me Free was Charlie Rich's first album for Epic Records and the first record he ever cut with Nashville producer Billy Sherrill. Previously, Rich's producers hadn't known what to do with his eclectic style, although his sessions for Smash came close to capturing all sides of his personality. With Sherrill, Rich had a producer whose musical ...

Brenda Lee
Brenda Lee had made popular standards a part of her recorded repertoire almost from the time she started making records. But on this 1962 album (known both as Sincerely and Sincerely, Brenda Lee), these did not so much add to her versatility as tilt the LP away from the strengths that had made her so popular in the first place. It wasn't unknown ...

Greatest Hits is a budget-priced ten-track selection of some of Little Anthony's hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such hits as "Goin' Out of My Head," "Tears on My Pillow," "Hurt So Bad," "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop," "Take Me Back," and "The Ten Commandments of ...

by
Ray Bryant
Ray Bryant is a master of soul-jazz but these 1964 studio recordings are a bit of a disappointment. Plagued by a plodding rhythm section with bassist Tommy Bryant and either Walter Perkins or Sonny Brown on drums, Bryant leans a bit too heavily toward rhythm & blues, while his music might have been more interesting heard as piano solos. A piano of ...

This exhaustive six-CD box set shows you all the reasons why The Orioles, led by smooth-as-silk vocalist Sonny Til, were one of the most pivotal, if not the most important, of all the early Black vocal groups. The group's honey-smooth harmonies perfectly frame Til's soaring, sexy vocals against the simplest of backgrounds on their earliest sides, ...

Sonny Til & the Orioles
Led by the sultry tenor voice of Sonny Til, the Orioles -- in spite of being regarded by many as the originators of doo wop -- have been poorly served in the CD era, with most of the collections available consisting of re-recorded versions of their late-'40s and early-'50s hits. There is the massive and definitive six-disc box from Bear Family, of ...

A bit of a ringer, as these aren't the original recordings, but recuts for C.P. Parker's label from 1962. This group of Orioles is an all-star one, however, with members of the Spaniels, the Castelles and the Dreams counted in the lineup. As for the star of the show, Sonny Til sounds very much the way he did some ten years earlier, and the strong ...

Little Anthony & the Imperials were one of the rare groups to bridge the doo wop and soul eras, having smashes in both. Little Anthony had an amazing voice that was able to easily switch between an assured, tough voice on the up-tempo doo wop tracks, like "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Pop," and a soaring, vulnerable wail on the dramatic tracks, like the ...
