Little Anthony & the Imperials Two People in the World October 29, 2009

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary concert was a virtually unparalleled collection of legendary music talent, with performances by everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Ozzy Osbourne to Stevie Wonder — and the show was still completely stolen by doo-wop survivors Little Anthony and the Imperials doing an a capella version of a B-side from 1959. Some 50 years past their prime, their harmonizing on "Two People in the World" here is still as textbook-perfection as it gets, Little Anthony somehow as strong on those high notes as ever. Even their swag was still on-point, Anthony backing out for the second bridge with the too-cool "Sing the song, y'all."
