CHESTER, WV - The magic memories of the 1960's will come to life again at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort's Grande Ballroom on May 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Officially reunited in 1992, the original quartet, "Little Anthony" Gourdine, Ernest Wright and Clarence Collins along with Howard Jenkins who replaced original Sammy Strain takes the audience back to the decade when they were regulars at "Your Hit Parade," "Hullabaloo" and "Shindig."

Little Anthony and the Imperials hit the charts in 1958 with their first single and biggest selling hit, "Tears On My Pillow." "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop" followed in 1960 and became a million seller. The group's subsequent hits, "I'm On The Outside Looking In," "Goin Out of My Head" and "Hurt So Bad," made Little Anthony and The Imperials one of the few groups to withstand the Beatles invasion and the Motown sound of the Sixties and cemented their place in R&B history.

Concert tickets are $35 - Gold and $25 - Reserved and can be obtained through any Ticketmaster Outlet or on site at Mountaineer by visiting the Frequent Player Department at the Downtown Speakeasy.
