In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Tears On My Pillow

Music by Sylvester Bradford and Al Lewis

Originally Performed by Little Anthony and the Imperials

Tears On My Pillow was first recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials on End Records and was that group's debut recording under that name. Their original recording of the song became a Billboard Top 10 Pop smash, peaking at #4, and was The Imperials' first million-seller. It was also a two-sided hit, with its flip side, "Two People in the World," also becoming a major hit. Although it remains one of the Imperials' signature songs, "Tears on My Pillow" has been extensively covered, including a No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart version by Kylie Minogue in January 1990

Release Date: 1958

Various Arrangers : Men's Doo-wop Vol 2

Ed Lojeski brings back the sound of Little Anthony and the Imperials in this fun arrangement of "Tears On My Pillow". Add some sways and finger-snaps and you have a perfect choice for small or large groups. "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" - Groove to the sounds of a by-gone era with this 1954 hit originally recorded by The Spaniels. Classic doo-wop! "Speedoo" - Show some attitude with this 1956 pop hit by the Cadillacs! This uptempo classic from the golden age of doo-wop makes a perfect selection for some fancy footwork! The novelty number "Mr. Bass Man" by the '60s artist Johnny Cymbal has been covered by everyone from Sha Na Na to the Muppets and will be a hit on your stage as well, with a hilarious doo-wop bass line that will be an absolute blast to perform!
