PB, I wouldn't go that far. Lonely Tear Drops is pretty good, but as I posted above, it is easily rivaled by Little Anthony and the Imperials and any number of their hits such as Tears on My Pillow.
Little Anthony is great. I love all those songs. But in my opinion Jackie Wilson had a stronger voice. No way Little Anthony could have pulled off "To Be Loved." Two different styles. Baritone vs. Soprano. Apples and oranges.
But to each his own, pally .
