It's hard to imagine how quickly he grew up and all he'd done in such a short life.. I knew the women were a bit older than him but I had no idea that they all looked like they could be his mother! 🧐😳 It's good to see that the world hasn't forgotten him because he was a pioneer in his own right.. 🙂
As a very young child, I do remember Frankie Lymon's songs. Frankie was a good singer, but obviously his love life and 3 wives was another story in itself for Frankie Lymon's.
The lyrics to "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" are officially credited to Frankie Lyman and Morris Levy---the notorious record producer who talked Frankie into leaving The Teenagers. Levy took the bulk of the profits, leaving Frankie destitute for most of his life, or as Little Richard says in the movie "Morris didn't use no Vaseline!" Levy went on to cheat John Lennon out of the proceeds from his album ROCK N' ROLL (1975). Most of Frankie's biographers believe Herman Santiago wrote the song by himself but was unable to fight Levy in court over copyright. Sad story all around.
Ah wow. New to this channel but I haven’t gotten that song out of my head. Thanks for keeping his spirit alive; I regret his early death but I’ll carry this one with me until the end. Beautiful video.

I love this video and have loved Frankie Lymon since I first heard him singing Why Do Fools Fall in Love on the LP soundtrack to American Graffiti , which I own to this day. Such an incredibly talented young man, with the most amazing set of pipes! That guy could hit notes like no other.
I do remember some of his songs. I just never put it together. This was a very interesting and informative upload. Thank you 😊 "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," is one great song ❣️ Twenty-five years old? Goodness! That's so sad. I often wonder how far many stars would have gone in their careers if addiction didn't take them.

@@_4-.0sduu Speaking of the Genovese family, I also that the word heard that Morris "The Octopus" Levy being an "Affiliate" wanted Frankie gone, because it was believed that he along with The other Teenagers was going to file a suit against Levy for UNPAID ROYALTIES.

Diana Ross did a version of Why Do Fools Fall In Love, adding a fortune to his estate. That pretty much restarted the issues with the three wives.

So that's who made "Why Do Fools Fall in Love"
My husband is buried in the same cemetery as he is in. In the bronx ny
Interesting, thanks for sharing. May your husband and Frankie find peace 🙏
Frankie was a great singer. My only criticism would be that several of his early songs sounded the same musically.

Is there a video that shows Frankie dancing with the white woman on live tv? I would love to see it!
No, they made them record over so there would be no evidence of it.
I'm a fan of his career and the taboo barriers he broke through
Us too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see?
What about Sam Cooke. My mama raised me on motown?

Sam Cooke NEVER song for Motown.
If he had lived, he would have put Motown out of business by the late 70s!!!

Some folks say that he was the Michael Jackson of his era.
