Little Anthony shares experiences with Cleveland fans at Rock Hall



CLEVELAND -- In celebration of Black History Month, a famed soul group from the 1950s and 60s shared their experienced with fans Friday.

Little Anthony and the Imperials were at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of its "Hall of Fame Series" of presentations.

The rhythm and blues, "soul-doo-wop group," had such instant hits as "Tears on My Pillow" and "Goin' Out of My Head."

The group says they enjoy sharing their history with others.

"To have these kinds of programs, to be able to educate these kids, you're only going to get great dividends from that in the long run, because they're going to feel 'wow, I'm part of a country, America, that has all this...well maybe there's a place for me,'" Little Anthony Gourdine said.

Little Anthony and the Imperials will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the ceremony here in April.
