My dad had a special song for his kids Ours was this & Venus use to sing me. At 94 He passed away this morning 9am & his special songs brought so many beautiful memories as we r sitting here, remembering what a wonderful dad to us all . RIP Pepé 😇❤️🙏🏽
He was only 18 at this airdate (b. Sep. 18, 1940), now 82. What a remarkable and fun era and decade that was, between the deadly and illegal wars (July 1953 - Nov. 21, 1963), best in American history, with the finest culture and music heard on Earth! I deeply miss this era, as a young boy, loving the ongoing Hula Hoop craze and fun times in the late-'50s. The peaceful and increasingly prosperous era ended only 4 1/2 years later.
When he reaches down to acknowledge this one girl in the audience, it not only made her day, made her cry with excitement but something she would never, in het life forget.
That is super precious...when he bends down to the audience. Not only did the girl who he knelt down to cry, but the 3 girls at the end of the runway also were crying...just that he came so close to them and maybe he'd bend down to them next.
I was born in 2001 and to be honest I’d do anything to go back to this music and fashion! I’ve become so attached to the 50s & 60s and now basically my whole wardrobe and albums are from those eras. Anyways, I love this video and I love you Frankie ❤️
Megan Violet , thank you for appreciating this great music . So good to here the younger generation enjoying what I call the best music. Keep enjoying 👍🏼😃
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023 He have a soulful voice! This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Frankie Avalon…?

I was crazy about that song when i was a little girl. I was about 10 yrs old in 1959. Frankie was one of the few teen idols who stayed handsome through all these years.
You were maybe 2 years in advance for that change (12?) "Bobby Sox to Stockings." One of my favorite songs, along with his stunning "Venus" a true classic love ballad that will never be forgotten!
Yes Frankie Avalon was closed to his adorable fans.He gave everything to please and satisfy them.That is not to be found in the artistes of the modern era who are more concerned with what they are going to receive than their fans.
Well those innocent days of 1959.Frankie Avalon was of course the heart throb of wild screaming girls then.Later on Frankie would make those fun loving Beach movies with Annette Funicello.
Je n'avais que 6 ans quand j'ai entendu cette chanson . J'ai maintenant 66 ans et elle me fait toujours vibrer . Merci Frankie Avalon . Cette chanson avait aussi été reprise en France par "les compagnons de la chanson" "bobby sox to stockings" sous le titre 'Nathalie s'en va" . Un régal . Génial de retomber en enfance . NORBERT .
Good 'ol Frankie was just 18 years old here. I was 5 years old at the time, but I can still remember this tune along with, "Venus", which was released a few months earlier in 1959, when they came out on the radio. Today at age 80, Frankie and his wife (whom he married in 1963 and still happy today!) back in his birth town of Philadelphia, PA.
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023 He have a soulful voice! This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Frankie Avalon…?
i love this type of 50s teen dream music, along with doo-wop. then the beatles came along. l love the beatles and have been a fan from the 60s, but feel sad that after 1964 music will never be like this again. but then, thats rock and roll...
This was a very busy man over his career. He brought 8 children into this world which resulted in a host of grandchildren and many great grandchildren.
I was born in the 50s and still listen to his music and this is 2019 and now this is 2021 still listen to him and I'm 66 years old no more 66 now I'm 68 and still listen to his music
yes I left my bobby socks and my Dad took me to a México City cabaret and met in his dressing room Frankie Ávalon in a silver glittery suit Elvis type"in 1968....with photo, kiss and arrivederci ! what a dream come true!!!!
I was just turned 15 at the time this was made. A girl had a radio request accepted to have it played to me. I could not believe that she was sending me such a message. I cannot think of any girl after that who did anything near as much to boost my ego - except maybe when my wife of now nearly 50 years accepted me.
FRANKIE IS 6 YEARS OLDER THAN ME BUT I STILL THINK HE IS WONDERFUL 👏. I SAW HIM IN A CONCERT IN 2004 IN RENO AND HE WAS FANTASTIC. I WAS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD WHEN HE SANG MY FAVORITE SONG 🎵 VENUS. KEEP GOING STRONG FRANKIE.
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023 He have a soulful voice! This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Frankie Avalon…?
Those boys and girls then in their teens so delighted and elated at the way Frankie Avalon belted out his number "From Bobby soxs to stockings" should now be in their mid Seventies. Well those were days of the late 1950s when life was so simple yet fun unlike the dog eats dog stressful life of today.
Wow, my best friend dated Fabian's cousin why she didn't marry him I'll never know. That old South Philly crew was amazing. Even if they were before my time. Still so cool! I was just a year old.
Nice old song which is still good to hear. Times were different then. I shall not say they were better, as we had our problems too. But we were young then, and viewed a very different World, that what today's young people see now.
Far better world in 1959 than 2022 or now (Feb. 2023). There was no 'woke' nonsense or CRT indoctrination. The worst things kids did in school then were chewing gum or running in the halls! There were no frequent gun shootings in the government-schools then. No wars of any kind the U.S. government was fighting. The only things kids feared were their parents discipline, and the threat of nuclear war. The same latter item exists far worse now with the U,S. government again pushing for WW3 against Russia, as the military-intelligence agencies were repeatedly demanding in 1961-63. But we had a decent, smart, peace-loving president who did not want to see 40+ million Americans (and Russians) dead within an hour of nuclear war, just because Russia and Cuba were communist to their own citizens! He and the USSR's Khruschev peacefully worked out a compromise, against the urging of both their war-hawk military advisors. The two K-men knew nuclear war was not a gain for anyone, at any time, anywhere! R.I.P. to both of them for their wise, peaceful ending of that Oct. 1962 scary close call!
Saw him at the PNC Arts Center and he's still bounces around the stage at his age. Can't say the same for Bobby Rydell who was also at the same show for seniors.
When a girl loves to hear good musics from you Frankie Junior Avalon I'ts only me Ampy Cesare visiting you and to see you singing Venus okay bye for now hope to you someday googbye and goodluck see you in Las Vegas Nevada USA today and everyday be good to yourself ok ! BYE again and thanks !❤❤❤
I've learnt about him through Greece❤💫🗣 the musical and then I had to research him his voice is amazing an Innocence a warm and kind kindness you'll get from him and I love that I can sit and listen to Venus over and over again not to mention Beauty School Dropout thank you for gracing my ears❤🔥
TheIrishrogue68 It made me cry too, but I think that 1950s fashion, music, charm will eventually comeback because everyone will want it to comeback, so yea I think we’ll be seeing it again soon and it’ll be the best comeback in American history.
@@j.m.2198 It can never come back! That magical, wonderful era died on Nov. 22, 1963 with the succeeding, sociopathic war-monger and his insane war-hawks in the military-intelligence (as Eisenhower warned in his farewell speech on Jan. 17, 1961) have dominated the foreign policy, and their hatred of Russia ever since that awful Friday afternoon.
Hoje 08/08/2020, Saudades dessa época. Eu era uma teen-age, 13 anos.Os meninos todos de terno e gravata. Música tão bonitinha Sua voz, muito suave e o coro idem
On this day in 1974 {May 17th} Frankie Avalon appeared on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'... He performed a medley of his hits; "Why" {#1 for 1 week in 1959}, "Just Ask Your Heart" {#7 in 1959}, "De De Dinah {#7 in 1958}, "Gingerbread {#9 in 1958}, "Bobby Sox to Stockings {#8 in 1959}, and "Venus {#1 for 5 weeks in 1959}... R.I.P. Robert Weston Smith {aka Wolfman Jack; 1938 - 1995} and Mr. Avalon will celebrate his 74th birthday this coming September 18th...
Yes you do not have that snymore.The idol singing to his audiences live and so near to them.Nowadays you have artistes with two to three bodyguards and the fans cannot get closed to their idols for security reasons.But it was so different those days in 1959.
Kansas City and Dream Lover were just two other songs in the top ten as you could see behind Dick Clark. This Avalon song was a duessy as we still used to say in 1959 (from the car Dusenberg in the 1930's), In fact "It's a duessy continued on through the 40's, and 50's and all the way up to 1999. Only 4 years ago I heard a lady on a Sunday AM political show still use it "It's a Duessy". Anyway's this was a cute song by Frankie Avolon. It still is relevant today. When a girl goes through puberty at age 11 and 12 two years ahead of boys, their interests greatly changes. Frankie could not have said or sang it better!!! Another title could have been "When a girl goes through Puberty" and she starts trading her baby toys for boys!!!!!!
Barbara now at your age don't you realize this was all BS? The Jewish people controlled rock n roll with their way of making young American Men into wimps!! And an old tw-at like you should realize this at your age!
+rachel pendergraft ....well I am guessing Rachel that you and the rest of society are hypnotized in a deep sleep and that the government with its cable tv and internet can walk all over us. Maybe "trashy" words are needed nowadays!

Muy lindas tus palabras hacia tu padre. El está en el cielo y siempre lo recordaras con esa hermosa música. 🕊️🕊️🌈🌈
Such innocence, wow what have we lost.
He was only 18 at this airdate (b. Sep. 18, 1940), now 82.

wow so young!!
Amazing performances throughout his life. The girls were mesmerized over him with glances of total adoration!
I'm 72 now but I wished I could've been serenading the young ladies like that when I was a teen many years ago..........
When he reaches down to acknowledge this one girl in the audience, it not only made her day, made her cry with excitement but something she would never, in het life forget.
That is super precious...when he bends down to the audience. Not only did the girl who he knelt down to cry, but the 3 girls at the end of the runway also were crying...just that he came so close to them and maybe he'd bend down to them next.
Who are you...Bobby sox to stocking...are you Frankie Avalon son's or what ?🎉
I was born in 2001 and to be honest I’d do anything to go back to this music and fashion! I’ve become so attached to the 50s & 60s and now basically my whole wardrobe and albums are from those eras. Anyways, I love this video and I love you Frankie ❤️
Then you'd be old like me 72, because I was 12 in 1959 when that song came out
Weirdo
Megan Violet , thank you for appreciating this great music . So good to here the younger generation enjoying what I call the best music. Keep enjoying 👍🏼😃

@@freeguy77 Probably approximately. They didnt really wear silk anymore. It was nylon. Pantyhose was not even out yet.
@@joyceyolandastorch8964 Silk was used mostly in men's ties.
Simple times, simply beautiful melody. Songs of the time were magical.
Yes Frankie Avalon was closed to his adorable fans.He gave everything to please and satisfy them.That is not to be found in the artistes of the modern era who are more concerned with what they are going to receive than their fans.
Well those innocent days of 1959.Frankie Avalon was of course the heart throb of wild screaming girls then.Later on Frankie would make those fun loving Beach movies with Annette Funicello.

The best of 59'
REAL MUSIC FROM A GREAT SINGER FROM MY TIME !
My first heartthrob, I was 13 when this came out, used to dream I would marry him. So lovely to hear these songs again.

Gracias a mi mamá que me heredo el gusto por la buena música! Hermosa canción!👍😊
Frankie Avalon seems so kind, genuine and affectionate in this video. He seems like he is enjoying his time up there, savoring every moment. :)

Frankie Avalon was perfect.
ICON FOREVER ♾️🌎🌹🥂🩰
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲☦️❤️
Its amazing how one young, good looking Italian fellow, can make all the girls go so nuts.
Same for an American boy (no ethnic group), who happened to have his entire family on network tv for 14 years (1952-66). Ricky Nelson.
He’s not Italian, he’s American. He was born in Philadelphia.
Those boys and girls then in their teens so delighted and elated at the way Frankie Avalon belted out his number "From Bobby soxs to stockings" should now be in their mid Seventies.
Well those were days of the late 1950s when life was so simple yet fun unlike the dog eats dog stressful life of today.
Well I was 12 when that song came out and now I'm 72
Beautiful song!
Primavera de 1959, éxito entre los jóvenes chilenos. Recuerdos sagrados de adolescencia.
August 2021 this is alway be one of my favourite songs from Frankie Avalon ❤️🇹🇭
love this just like in 1959
Wow, my best friend dated Fabian's cousin why she didn't marry him I'll never know. That old South Philly crew was amazing. Even if they were before my time. Still so cool! I was just a year old.
My dad use to play this on an old record player he had when I was a kid.

kids these days need frankie avalon, not justin bieber
FYI ~> Before deciding on Al Martino Coppola considered Frankie Avalon for the role of Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather. ☺
you had it frankie,,,you had it all!!!!!

Such a cutie, luv him🎶🎤🎼♥️
OH, YEA!!! Frankie and Dick Clark....... great memories!
Great song 🎵
His interaction with the girl in the audience is adorable! If only today's stars were that interactive.
Such a sweet and endearing part of my youth..I could cry.
Is it you??
They don’t want to be canceled
guys in suits such a different time
Why you so surprised? people knew how to dress back then.
Charisma PLUS ...
South Philly!
Frankie Avalon was so dreamy
got this 45 when I was 12 thought is song is perfect
Barbara now at your age don't you realize this was all BS? The Jewish people controlled rock n roll with their way of making young American Men into wimps!! And an old tw-at like you should realize this at your age!
