The first and best-selling single for Little Anthony & the Imperials, "Tears On My Pillow" used the same backing tracks as the Penguins' "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)." This was done as an economy move as the record company barely had enough money for the session tape.
Little Anthony is a sobbing mess in this song, where he can't deal with a heartbreak: Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart Caused by you The song was written by Sylvester Bradford and Al Lewis; this team also wrote the Fats Domino song "I'm Ready."
Kylie Minogue covered this in 1990 for the soundtrack of the movie The Delinquents. Her version hit #1 in the UK.
