Frankie grew up in an Italian-American family whose 2 passions were food and music. He learned the trumpet from an early age, and it helped him begin a successful recording career where he produced several charting singles.
His star only rose higher once he began to appear on film and TV. 2 of his most memorable appearances were in musicals. The Beach Party series was a hit, and fans still remember his appearance in Grease as the Teen Angel.
A bit of Frankie’s teen idol mystique has worn off now that he’s 81 years old, but he still manages to draw crowds of fans wherever he goes. He still performs in clubs and tours to show his voice to the world. He’s also known for surprise appearances and cameos, such as when he sang Venus on American Idol or sang Beauty School Dropout as the Teen Angel on Dancing With the Stars’ Grease Night.
When Frankie’s not showing off his talents, he spends his time with his family. He and his wife Kathyrn have been married for over 50 years and have 8 children. They enjoy weekly dinners, and Frankie wrote a cookbook and created a company called Frankie Avalon Foods to bring the Italian food they enjoy to the world. He also promotes a health and wellness line called Frankie Avalon Products.
It doesn’t matter where you first saw his face or heard his voice; the appeal of this superstar simply refuses to wear off over the years. He’ll likely find an audience who wants updates on his life for as long as he lives.

How can you not like Frankie, Fabian and Bobby Rydel even though they are before my timel? I saw Back to the Beach the day it was released to the theaters. One of the best movies of the '80s.
I knew about his trumpet playing but didn't know he cut early records or made an appearance on the Jackie Gleason show. WOW!!!
I'm 74. I remember him singing, in films, and on TV. A great guy in all of them!
Nothing but positive thoughts about this man...God bless him.....
I remember Frankie from both singing and acting. One of my all time favorites. ❤
Thanks for watching!
He has always been such a
good human being,
which is rare
in the
Entertainment Business!!!
Thanks for watching!
Yes, great human being.
Frankie Avalon is an all round talent. I love his work in music, tv and movies. The Alamo is a great film.
Thanks for watching!
Love the movie Grease stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton John with Frankie Avalon a Great Movie👍🏾
My older sisters and mom loved him and Fabian and Bobby Rydell .
I think he forgot to mention here that he Fabian and Bobby Rydell you stood for around and their act was called The Golden Boys .
Also there was a mistake I think you said DeDe Dynah was released in 1952 but if you look it up it was right around Christmas '57 .
When I lived in Toluca Lake I took my daughter trick or treat in the exclusive section of TL. I couldn’t believe it when Frankie Avalon & his wife answered the door with all their children. Wonderful, friendly beautiful family.
Actor then singer. He is Awesome. He might have gotten tired of making the beach movies but we loved them. Classic movie channel has finally brought back some of (not Frankie's movies) but the young love movies I haven't seen in like forever. Like (Where the boys are), (Palm Springs Weekend), (A Summer Place), I wish they would put more of these types of movies back on to rewatch again.
Thanks for watching!
Totally agree. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
My wife and I saw Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell perform at Proctors theater back in the 1990s.
They were great.
Schenectady, NY. ?????
@@maddyhayes617 Sorry, Schenectady NY yes
@@alexsmuckler2165 I remember seeing him in Grease at Proctor's. What a hunk
What a Great Person he was and Is! Living near Philadelphia he was one of my Favorites
He was and is a man of class
I didn't realize he was so young in the late 50's, early 60's. I love his songs Venus and Beauty School Dropout. Grease being one of my all time favs. I first saw Grease as a stage play in Melbourne in the 70's, was thrilled when the movie arrived, and then last August, saw it as a stage play in England. Unfortunately, haven't seen Frankie live in a stage play. That would be Amazing! Glad he's still going strong!
Thanks for watching!
Frankie Avalon will always be a teen idol in the singing department. His voice has always been crisp and spot on .his the boy next door approach paid off big time. God bless him singing beyond 80. Such a great talent 👏.
Go get 'em Frankie 💯 may every dream come true 👍
I just remember he sang the opening for Grease God I love that movie and he was in that one beauty school dropout
Frankie Valli sang the opening for Grease.
Nice to see that he has such a happy life.......
I know Frankie Avalon from everything he has done. He is so multifaceted. Good to know he is still performing. He is truly a living legend. I loved his Beach Party movies so much I bought a collection of them.
Fabian and Frankie were buddies from South Philly!Good for him- he has a 50 year marriage, 8 kids, and 10 grandkids!
I think his wife is of Swedish descent. That is sweet he is still with his first wife.
My mom loved him sooo much, I was named Venus (spelled Venis) when I was born. Anyone who meets me starts to sing the song.
Loved him an Annette's movies
Thanks for watching!
She was born in Upstate NY-- Utica.
I always loved Venus & Finally got a great Comp. of his hits recently. Wonderful music! Also bought Back To The Beach on DVD & that was 1 fun movie.
Those were the days my friend. I thought they would never end. You kids out there enjoy your youth.
How can they enjoy anything when they are glued to their phone
So true. I am an 80's teen.
How I recall from 1977 first seeing him in a Beach movie with Annette Funicello who's just as famous as just Annette.
He’s been married over 50 years to the same woman. That’s extremely rare not only Hollywood, but also in general. I’m looking forward to my wife and I being married for a long time.
He is also the father of--are you ready--eight children.
amen the year my dad died my parents would have been married 50 years
Congrats!...i change women after 5 months!
I WAS AT HIS PERFORMANCE AT "RAGING WATERS" LA... WHERE I LIVED UP BY SAN DIMAS IN 2001
HES SIMPLY AS BUBBLY AS HE WAS IN 70'S... HIS VOICE TOO...
Thanks for watching!
Too bad kids don't have a teen idol like Frankie today. Doggone, all those Italians can sing!!!
Bad Bunny!
I grew up with Frankie Avalon those were great times
So did my older sisters , they really loved him and Fabian and Bobby Rydell .

Interesting story, love him and his work, great video thanks 💖😁
I’m from Philadelphia. Of course I Love, Frankie Avalon.
Singer, actor=GREAT!
Funny thing is I always thought he was one of the original Mousecatiers(sp) but I guess that was just his onscreen partner Annette. But I have loved everything I've seen him in and heard him sing. But now I have to look up some more. Also can't wait to try his food!!!
Thanks for watching!
Just an fyi-- Annette was born I Utica NY, which is in upstate NY.
I thought the MAD Magazine parody of Grease was funny when the teens saw him as the angel and said ".. Frankie! I thought you died...!" to his response: "I didn't die, my career did...!" Hahaha! All kidding aside I've always enjoyed his work and music!
I enjoyed his beach party movies with Annette funicello. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Annette was born in Utica, in upstate NY.
I know him from both. I got to see him perform with Annette. They were wonderful! 😁

In 1983, he signed with CBS's Bobcat records and released "You're the Miracle" in 45 and 12-inch single formats, however for the 12-inch single, the label used the wrong spelling of "you're".
So nice to hear he did great with his businesses and his wonderful family.👍
Indeed! What is your favorite film of Frankie?
I love his venus video of 1959. He shows his kissy lips.
He was pretty cool ❤

Proctor theater in Schenectady NY.
Was he performing in Grease?
@@maddyhayes617 No it was the Golden Boys of Bandstand.
@@alexsmuckler2165 wish I had known. I did see him in Grease at Proctor's. As a senior citizen I do not remember the date!
He was so stinking cute 😍 ❤
Like what he followed is mind hear n soul Mary his teen wife...now look back at dat 50 years...wow nice
Oddly enough he turned up in the British Horror film, The Haunted House Of Horror. A proto-Slasher film which became something of a cult classic decades after it's 1969 release.
What happened to a lot of them?! They died the day the heard the word Beatles!
Thanks for watching!
by his music
Drop out? This is ridiculous! Frankie has been playing Vegas and touring with Fabian and Bobby Rydell as The Golden Boys for the last 60 years. Of course, Bobby just died last week but Frankie and Fabian will now start touring with Lou Christie in their Golden boys show.
American Bandstand 1952? Not!
All of the above
Thanks for watching!
The man did enjoy the nose candy
He sells food on qvc
Missed-out on a lifetime of unfulfilling assembly-line work in a factory... 🤗
This is nonsense. He is on Facebook doing podcasts, he is neither dead nor has he dropped out.

MOON-DOGGIE
WAS HE THE ONE WHO PLAYED MOON DOGGIE ???
Thanks for watching!
@@tokenroach9835 James Darren was the actor that played moon-doggie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
He must of invested his money as they didn't pay young singers much in late 1950s.
Avalon couldn't leave the coke and booze alone . I heard he was into the pills too .
Met him in 90s at ordermatic. What a jerk, narcissistic and un feeling. Very inappropriate at most times.
I don't know that you were born September 18, 1940...I was born February 19, 1939 Ampy Cesare...that's means I am one year older than you okay goodbye be good to yourselfs OKAY ❤❤❤
