His tender yet explosive delivery of a musical phrase leaves audiences spellbound with an impression so indelible that casual listeners never forget the \u2018voice\u2019 or the tunes he immortalized. These songs consistently emanate from airwaves and are often lauded in music journals worldwide. Songs such as \u201cGoin\u2019 Out Of My Head,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m On The Outside Looking In,\u201d \u201cHurt So Bad,\u201d and \u201cTake Me Back\u201d are simply four of a compendium of platinum hits performed by the extraordinarily gifted performer on national television and heard on classic and Top-40 radio spanning numerous decades. His latest blockbuster release is no will-o&#8217;-the-wisp, stab in the dark recording; it is a well-thought-out and substantive diary of songs, including many covers bearing his unmistakable vocal imprint. Producer Mike Miller spared no effort in tirelessly orchestrating a project that promises an enduring shelf life titled LITTLE ANTHONY &amp; THE MUSIC \u2014 AN ANTHOLOGY, a two-volume set. The first single to be released is the classic &#8220;New York State of Mind,&#8221; a melancholy ballad with a subtle blues transfusion. Anthony takes the Billy Joel Classic and drops a dash of 1990s Brooklyn on it. Other songs also included are \u201cA Lovely Way To Spend An Evening,\u201d Love is a Many Splendored Thing,\u201d \u201cWhat A Difference A Day Makes,\u201d and \u201cWho\u2019s Sorry Now.\u201d Forty memorable selections should keep you and your significant other reminiscing for some time to come. And if you\u2019re not spoken for, you can enjoy it all to yourself for as long as you can imagine! There is something for everyone in these forever volumes. And I promise you: The fun verbal exchanges in the narration between Anthony and the producer are insightful as twists and turns unravel in the development of this contemporary musical masterpiece. Despite many of the songs being standards, you\u2019ll notice his inimitable style permeating from the start. While some scratch their heads in wonderment upon hearing, for the first time, &#8220;New York State of Mind,&#8221; they think: &#8220;That voice sure is familiar.&#8221; After a slight pause, like a ton of bricks, it hits them: &#8220;Oh, that&#8217;s Little Anthony.&#8221; They proceed to generously shower him with lavish praise. After years of performing at arenas and concert halls, clubs and festivals, he has acquired a wealth of experience that accompanies him as you flashback to his highly successful stint as lead singer with the Imperials on a few choice cuts. Following the release of this work, expect the entertainment icon and his band to visit a city near you with a live show embracing many of the tunes contained in this two-volume cache \u2014 and more. As an all-around artist in the studio and on stage, he has been and remains an inspiration to many larger-than-life- acts, past and present: Silk Sonic, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and Michael Jackson, to name a few. Nearly every rock, pop, R&amp;B, and jazz act who attained star status attribute a slice of their inspiration to the influence of Little Anthony as a lead vocalist and a solo artist. Alive and well, he is eager to take his show on the road and share as much as audiences can absorb, including numbers from the much-awaited Anthology. Like a silver fox, he roams the stage, eyeing each participant as they chime along with perfection to every song he has ever christened<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold;\">. Recently, the Brooklyn, NY, native said: \u201cI\u2019m anxious to share these songs with folks everywhere, and I\u2019m so proud of the entire team that helped put it all together.\u201d This is only the beginning of a succession of projects on tap for the foreseeable future. He is busily working on other productions to be named later. No doubt about it, \u201cLittle Anthony\u201d Gourdine has brightened many a day for aficionados of \u2018God\u2019s gift to mankind\u2019 everywhere with indescribably beautiful music that fills our hearts with joy!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Phil C.
