TipsLittle Anthony, Dion, Lou Christie play Long Island


Here's a chance to see two hall of famers who can still belt one out along with another star who can still hit the high note.

Little Anthony and the Imperials have been performing for more than 50 years. Starting as doo-wop singers on Brooklyn street corners, the group, led by Anthony Gourdine, produced some of the biggest hits of the 1950s and '60s, including "Tears on My Pillow" and "Goin' Out of My Head." Little Anthony and the Imperials will perform Friday at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $65-$95. Call 631-288-1500 or visit whbpac.org. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this month and is also a member of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.

While Little Anthony was singing in Brooklyn, Dion was crooning in the Bronx. Dion's 1950s hits include "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Dion performs at Capital One Bank Theatre at Westbury April 19. Also on the bill is Lou Christie, whose falsetto powered hits include "Lightning Strikes" and "Two Faces Have I."

Tickets are $51.50-61.50. Call 877-598-8694 or visit LiveNation.com.
