      Jaquetta Brown This wasn't even his adult voice, it was his adolescent one. I only wish his rendition of "Somewhere" was on here - that really is his adult voice, and there is no finer version of a song covered by many high profile artists.

    Whomever said Frankie totally lost his voice when he matured, was VERY wrong! Fans, record producers, and labels couldn’t fathom that he grew up. They couldn’t get passed that he wasn’t that kid with the powerful soprano voice. Frankie had more of a crooner sound as an adult. His “new” voice would’ve made him a perfect fit for Vegas and doing Sammy Davis, Sinatra, Nat King Cole type of material. Too bad he never had a chance to expound on that.

    I remember Frankie of 56 and 57 being the same age and being the lead singer of my own Doo Wop group called the Spotlites I never made money but it was fun. The bums running the business clipped these youngsters something awful but I would love to do it again. They were called sock hops back in the day but we were never even close to Frankie and The Teenagers but Accapella with no music was great and the harmony from our throats was as good if not better. I'm 75 now but the 50's was where it all started In hallways for the echo and standing on the corner under a street light I wishI could build a time machine and go back, what a time.

    • @shaunp253
      @shaunp253 3 года назад +7

      I think with his last recording, 'Seabreeze', he was gearing up to make that transition to more soulful music. Unfortunately he passed after he just got his new record contract. One of the biggest musical losses; he would've been an amazing soul singer.

    The piano demos are interesting - I particularly like I'm Not Too Young, which I can imagine hearing with the Teenagers doing the backing vocals in a real doo-wop mix. I think with the right material and management - and some personal discipline - he could have still rocked out and not gotten lost in the middle-road stuff most rockers were channeled into after a while. That said, The Joke, with its bigger arrangement, works well for him even though the song is not A-list material to my ears. Ah, what might have been....

  • @missbritt288

    They had him singing bad songs , ughhh ... By that time he would of been old enough to write his own songs that reflected his own life ... I felt that is what would of saved his career .. Not Singing smaltzy crooner songs that had already gone out of fashion ! Bad management - but hey the man tried - THe only song that was remotely decent they had him singing was towards the end

  • @frankhyland6333
    @frankhyland6333 10 лет назад +13

    Anyone who can hold a tune accompanied with just a piano has to have talent, as is proved here. Frankie should have stayed with the teenagers, who knows where they would have ended up, especially with the upturn in Doo-Wop interest at the turn of the decade. Anywhere was preferable to the outcome. What a total waste of a group of talented lads.

      Thats true. My guess is that was one of his last recordings and his adult voice wasnt the same, my take is his voice suffered a lot from the 17-20 year old to the 22-24 year old, in that last song he didnt do any runs, no sustain no vibrato no nothing, the special quality of his throat wasnt there. Maybe he had a bad day in the studio or he was high who knows but if its Frankie thats ok for me.
