Anthony Burger, The Kingsmen Piano Solo Anchors Aweigh

[@ronniejenkins2056]

In my opinion I think that without a doubt he was one if not the best in the nation he is sorely missed by all, I always enjoyed hearing him play!

[@joannecooper8397]

Wow, how we miss you, Anthony! God bless you family!😊💜

[@CMSwanzy]

I miss seeing this FANTASTIC pianist play SO VERY MUCH, but take GREAT comfort in KNOWING he now plays for the King of Kings! Having been born minus hands & fingers never has bothered me UNTIL I saw Anthony Burger play SO GLORIOUSLY!

[@dianegriffin8320]

OH MY...I COULD LISTEN TO THIS ALL DAY LONG.SO,SO BEAUTIFUL...

[@pattien6687]

He came to my church when he was working his way through college. He has been on of my favorites ever since.

[@dsuevw]

God blessed him with talent.

[@brendalaird6942]

Anthony was a genius on the piano! The very best I have ever heard! Liberace couldn’t hold a candle to him. No pun intended about Liberace and his candles!

[@joykrumdiack4836]

I sure hope there are pianos in heaven! Imagine all the piano players we could listennto!

[@faleetauriyahz8048]

Well their all spirit beings, but i doubt anything would be impossible. Love Anthony💕

What a blessing to those who made the requests !💓🖖🙌👇🙏

[@whirlybird5244]

A legend in Gospel music. Absolutely amazing pianist and a very nice man.

[@bonniethornton8680]

What a talent

[@hayesjulie]

Thankful we have these recordings. There will never be another like him.

[@joyr36]

Jim Hammill was one of the best MC's in southern gospel music. I miss getting to see Anthony Burger play the piano. He was so much fun to watch.

joy

[@ronaldshank7589]

I'll bet that when Anthony began playing "The Little Drummer Boy", after Jim Hamill SPECIFICALLY told him not to, that Jim felt like going over to Anthony, and slappin' him on the head for that! These guys knew what it was like to get up on stage, and have a lot of fun like this. Then again, it's only natural. One of The Kingsmen's nicknames was the Ton of Fun!!! There were a few people that got offended, from time to time. One Lady went up to Jim Hamill after one of their concerts, and told Jim Hamill in so many words, that she was Religious, and that what they'd done by having fun upset her. Jim told her:"If it upset her, then she didn't have Religion, she had Indigestion"!!! God's people have a right to shout, sing, dance before him, and rejoice! We've also got the right to have fun, as long as we're clean about it!!!

Fantastic interpretation. Anthony was the best piano player of his era. Sad to miss a pianist like Anthony.

[@johnhiggins829]

Such a pity those talented hands were silenced by death. But now he's playing up in Gloryland, never to be silenced anymore!

[@lotusjadeify]

John Higgins So very true!!

[@diplomamilldoc8562]

Why did God take him so soon?

[@ronaldshank7589]

Jim Hamill told him to leave that Drummer Boy Song out, so what does Anthony Burger do? He puts it in. TWICE!!! I bet ol'Jim Hamill wanted to about wring Anthony's neck for that little stunt!😆🤣😆🤣😆!!! Anthony Burger and Jim Hamill had such a fun chemistry between them. You never knew what these two were gonna cook up next! Ya had to love 'em, though. These two were two of the biggest nuts that The Kingsmen Quartet ever had! 😁😁😁!!!

[@scottcupp8129]

I got to meet Anthony back in 1992. The quartet I played with opened up for the Kingsmen in Bakersfield CA. I got to play in front of Anthony and he told me I was one of the best pianists he had ever heard. He was such a humble man of God. We got to play a little bit together after the show too. I was 19 then. I was so sad to hear that he passed away in 06. I was working at the Home Depot then when one of the folks from my church told me about it. Came in and said, "Scott, Anthony died yesterday on the cruise." I am proud to have been able to call such an amazing human being my friend.

The absolute best pianist in the world. Died a untimely death.

[@dorisdowling1408]

I would love to have a military concert of the military songs !

[@sallyannlady]

I LOVE Anthony- there's nobody like him around anymore- but where's Anchors Aweigh?

[@glminbrazil]

Inacreditavelmente perfeito!

[@marymcmaster9189]

A great talent who had fun with it too

[@RichardDantu]

God bless him

[@scottcupp8129]

He rocked that CP80 in this video.

[@dellalambert3182]

Doesn't "Number One Musician" cover it all. I've heard some, well one, call him "Number One Keyboardist". I think he's much more than that!

[@jillrieman3266]

Anthony was the greatest piano player, and liked to tease Jim Hamill at times....

[@RichardDantu]

Glory

[@topwatch7119]

Don't understand the title, Anchors Aweigh.

[@darylfoster3175]

It was a title of one of their songs and that's what the album was called.

[@hallandrum6157]

Is Anthony burger still living is he still playing the piano

[@herecalico]

No sadly Anthony passed away several years ago

[@gregoriusmaximus64]

He died of a heart attack while playing piano for a Gaithers Cruise, Feb. 22, 2006. Sad..... only 44 years old.

[@cherylclair]

Where was Anchors Aweigh?

[@lvchoralman]

Great, but too bad there is some electronic noise interference in the right channel.

[@daplinranee618]

I love to watch his performance he was great and no one could be like him

[@ronaldshank7589]

Some of the VHS Recordings had that kind of noise interference, especially the recordings done on Scotch Tape type of VHS Tapes, for some unknown reason. Other than that, it's a great recording! Anthony Burger could be such a comical imp at times. He gave Him Hamill (Which must've been his favorite person to pick on), fits!!! 😁😁😁
