You're right. It was originally done by Little Anthony & the Imperials.
"Foremost among the many songs that the team of Bobby Weinstein and Teddy Randazzo wrote were “Goin’ Out of My Head,” a hit for Little Anthony & the Imperials, which tallied over six million performances."
You have to scroll down a bit to get to the part where I found the info.

"Foremost among the many songs that the team of Bobby Weinstein and Teddy Randazzo wrote were "Goin' Out of My Head," a hit for Little Anthony & the Imperials (1964), which tallied over six million performances, and "Hurt So Bad," also a hit for Little Anthony & the Imperials, that accounted for over four million performances."
According tot eh Covers Project, little Anthony did it first.
