People can’t handle fame and fortune much older than he was. At 13 he didn’t stand a chance. The only people looking out for him were his friends in the group and that’s why his manager forced him to go solo. Got him isolated, hooked, the robbed him for every dime.
Man.. I’ve been in a rabbit hole wanting to learn about the life of the talented Frankie Lymon. He was a unique human being, he’s experienced the best and worst parts of life and at such a young age. His story should be well known
The women who introduced him to heroin was 29 and he was 14. She was basically a child molester. When he started messing w Zola he was 13 and she was 19. By the time he was 20 Frankie was a flaming hot mess. Sadly he was just a child and had no adult supporters ( where was his mother) , just people taking advantage of him.
I love how you put a new spin and twist on the Frankie Lymon story. There is so much about his life people know and don't know. Frankie endured so much as a child. Sounds as though he lived a dozen lifetimes before he died. He lived the only life he knew to live. Thanks for this walk down memory lane. Geneva no one dares to go where you go with these true life stories. You give the artists there moment of Truth as well as their dignity. Are you able to do a commentary on the gospel group the Clara Ward Singers. The first crossover gospel group need their moment to shine. The great times the bad times and the ugly times. I think that only one or two original members is still alive. God bless you and long live your channel Sistah.
As I Study the life of Frankie Lymon, I don't focus on the Mistakes he made off stage with Drug abuse, I only think of him as a great Entertainer & who is in heaven putting on an amazing Peformance # Rip Frankie Lymon.
Please don't listen to this idiot, she's only half way telling it. She is another Wendy Williams, a gossip queen. She has a huge deeply engrained Slave Mentality. Mr. Lymon was exploited to it's highest extent, and murdered. Do your own research!
To be honest, they could’ve dug deeper into his life and Larenz Tate look nothing like Frankie Lymon He really didn’t jus sayin they need to redo Why do fools fall in love in 2023 and really need to do more research on Frankie before they try to make another movie about his life because the 1992 version was such bullshit they left so much out Like him growing up in Harlem New York, his rough childhood, working at a grocery store while hustling prostitutes for a pimp and a woman turning him onto Heron They left all that shit out, and just concerned about him, being with the group and breaking up and being with three women and those three women trying to get his assets because of a nasty ass mob boss at gee records putting them against each each other
@@Romiedahomie415 I'm afraid no one's going to do another biop about Frankie. It's a shame, because his life was far more interesting and unbelievable than anyone could imagine. He had scores of women, some three times his age, in every city the group toured through.when he was only 14. Wild stuff.
Too bad. Drugs destroy all good music artist. Its just the first time. That's it. Now your hooked. DON'T DO DRUGS THE FIRST TIME. Never drink of any glass , your not sure if some thing more is placed in the drink.
2:25 pause it. I know it's off subject. But pay attention to the background at 2:25 at the man with the glasses either that is BUDDY HOLLY OR THE ZODIAC KILLER?
Have many of you heard him singing in his recordings as an adult? HIS SINGING WAS OFF THE CHAIN!!👍👏💥 Can you envision a project about him in 1968 HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY to go back to 1957 TO SAVE HIS YOUNGER SELF?
I can tell that most of weren't even around when the Teenagers featuring Frankie Lymon existed. I'm in my seventies, now. The so-called bio-pic was somewhat fictitious!
It's so sad that some want to make money 💰 🤑 💸 😪 and fame off of others' downfalls when I see the title. I thought there was so much to this young black king, then the title suggests. Look want happened to Wendy Williams with all the regurgitation she spilled‼️ blessings 🙌🏾 🙏🏽
HOPEFULLY larenz tate and frankie and lymon DIDN'T EVER EVER kill a dog or any animals AT ALL in real life AT ALL and to be TOTALLY honest i jUST NOW REPORTED the dog COMPLETELY FAKE dog death scene from the film why do fools fall in love
My word, my word ! My head was spinning, eventually. Change the names and dates, and it could have been ancient Rome. That's one of the Everly Brothers, and also Sam Cooke, I think, isn't it, at 7'25'' ? Oh dear, oh dear !
September 30. Well, of course he was a Libra when it comes to Sopies pay attention to a person son, I’ll guarantee you it’s almost always libra or Scorpio
It's funny how people say things like, "God must have been watching over me". God was watching over him before rehab and that's why he didn't die so what happened when he was 25 and did die?
It's something crazy about the number 25 a lot of celebrities died on the 25th, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Michael Jackson etc and Frankie Lymon died at age 25 years old and so did Tupac Shakur etc.
It’s the 20’s in general I notice a lot of celebrities die on the 20 something of a month 20-29th are very common dates for celebrities to die on I never understood why they always pass away around the 20th every month it’s weird not trying to turn things into a conspiracy theory but just saying
THIS GOSSIP QUEEN HAS A EXTREMELY DEEPLY ENGRAINED SLAVE MENTALITY. SHE NOT SAYING HE WAS EXPLOITED, INTRODUCED TO DRUGS, THEN MURDERED. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
When?? I belive so also. It seems the group memebers found out they were cheated out of royalties and Frankie was the only one who's name was on the publishing. He all of a sudden dies of an over dose. I'm sure the lable had something to do with it.
It was insinuated in the movie he may have been killed. His former manager was in the mob and could have easily arranged a hot dose. Especially after he wanted his royalties $$$.
FL was given many second chances in his life, and he blew them all. Family and friends backed him up, and he threw it all away. Self-centered creep, actually.
It was a fully grown female that got Frankie hooked on drugs when he was 14. If that had happened to a white boy, everyone would say, that was what helped to destroy him and that she should have been prosecuted. As the old saying goes, it's not what was done, but rather who does it.
❤❤. Got. Great 😸😸 News for u Jesus died. For your sinns and you can be forgiven ❤️😘 The. Bible says. He. That.has .the. Son Has. Life. He. That. Has. Not the. Son Shall not. See. Life ❣️ God wrath. On. Him
"The most authentic version of the truth" is gobbledegook. Irony of ironies, he sang about NOT being a juvenile delinquent, but thanks to American 'culture', he was. Good thing he died young - to spare us an MJ-like plastic surgery tragedy.

Wow! Your a wise thinker
I wonder if his manager was 👃🏻
One of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century

This makes me want to watch the movie: "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" 😍
It is a great movie. I think it has been watched in my home 20 times. Love it!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯
I just recently bought it again last December
LOVE the movie.
This is a great movie but we need a movie more about Frankie's life. Not his marriages.
💡This poor boy was turned out on drug's at 15 by a grown ass woman that was 35!😷 Yeah society just looks over that shit as if it's not bad!😖
He grew up way to fast.Then just as fast fell off.Sad.
Poor him, his whole life was a whirlwind
@Legacy Is Reborn ... Sadly, I agree.
Facts
Yes it was

À I'm
HAPPY 80th LEGEND DAY FRANKIE J.
I thought he was a punk cause his girlfriend talked about how the group would bully him. But I found out he used to fight, A LOT. 😂
Where'd you find that out at
Whoever did the casting for the movie was SPOT on. Some of them look exactly like the cast..

Right
Love this story part 1 because we have someone or somebody in our family; dealing with drugs or is deceased.
When a celebrity dies its always somebody that says it was murder
Yes. I saw the movie. Very interesting on his life and the women in it
You did your research! Thank you for this amazing documentary ❤
Frankie is one of my favorites his voice his style he had it all what a waste he was the shit
The movie never show Elizabeth his wife was on drugs just him. I think they left that part out of the movie.
Please don't listen to this idiot, she's only half way telling it. She is another Wendy Williams, a gossip queen. She has a huge deeply engrained Slave Mentality. Mr. Lymon was exploited to it's highest extent, and murdered. Do your own research!
If they had put everything in the movie, it would be a mini series.
@@monicadavis2188@netflix needs to make a mini-series.
@@monicadavis2188that's what they should do...Netflix, or hulu
And she was pregnant but she lost it
Frankie Lymon will forever be the greatest vocalist of the 50s of the generation.
Thank u Geneva!!
900 companies and 900 people was a good investment in those days. But artist were not getting enough of pay for their talents and for their sales.
His was easy picking. This is what made it so sad.
The movie about Frankie was NOTHING compared to his real life.

I had no idea Frankie was pimpin women at the age of 10 boy, talk about a hustler he be the envy of kids on the block.
Only kids who didn't have guidance
2:25 pause it. I know it's off subject. But pay attention to the background at 2:25 at the man with the glasses either that is BUDDY HOLLY OR THE ZODIAC KILLER?
It's hilarious how the other two women really got involved in the case 😲 😆
Have many of you heard him singing in his recordings as an adult?

Can you envision a project about him in 1968 HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY to go back to 1957 TO SAVE HIS YOUNGER SELF?
Child Prodigy - Genius
NO MENTION of When FRANKIE Got Drafted in the ARMY that ALSO AFFECTED his LIFE.😢 MID 1960S
This was written in Ebony magazine?
This was disturbing 😖
Girl you did that frankie lymon story.
Morris Levy, George Goldner, etc. didn't give a care about anyone but themselves, PERIOD!!!
He needed Christ
He also needed stabled parents who cared for guidance
Best info I’ve seen on him
.. but..
How do you steal a set of drums?? 🤔

People shld understand that God does accelerate lives. One could think they would live to be 40 and die at 14.
Bc god isnt real, the universe is real but the idea of god gives people the hope to keep going

Only 26
He was 25

It kinda does but a lil older
They failed him
The GOODIE GOODIE vid with Satan behind Frankie creeps me out.
Wrong video
Noone took care of him 😢
He was very young! No one took care of him! 😢
He was murdered I talked to one of the teenagers
When??
I belive so also. It seems the group memebers found out they were cheated out of royalties and Frankie was the only one who's name was on the publishing.
He all of a sudden dies of an over dose. I'm sure the lable had something to do with it.

When he went thru what he endured, he was literally a child. His brain wasn't even fully developed yet . Shame on you.
He was kid plus the death of his mother and child really put a nail in the coffin
Imagine judging & insulting the deceased..
