by Richie UnterbergerNear the end of the doo wop era, this Los Angeles group made the Top Ten with the nostalgic Those Oldies But Goodies (Reminds Me of You), a piano-based ballad that sounded a bit like a bridge between the Five Satins and Little Anthony & the Imperials. Doo wops days were numbered when this was a hit in 1961, and indeed the songs title would quickly become a catch-all phrase for rock records of all kinds that had left the charts several years ago. Little Caesar & the Romans went on to record a few singles, and an LP, for Del-Fi in 1961 and 1962, some in a quaint vocal group manner heavily derivative of Those Oldies But Goodies, others in a rougher, uptempo R&B mold akin to fellow L.A. artists the Olympics. They made the middle of the Top 100 with the dance tune Hully Gully Again, and topped out at #101 with Memories of Those Oldies But Goodies, a single that was even more nostalgic than its prototype. The act, which performed in togas for a while, broke up in 1962, partly as a result of a silly dispute between lead vocalist Carl Barnett and David Johnson (who did the spoken bridge of Those Oldies But Goodies) as to who was the real Little Caesar.
