THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for posting this! I feel deeply saddened that Frankie had to die the way he did. May GOD rest his soul. I was born in 1967 but LOVE oldies, especially the 1950's Doo wop music! God bless!
That movie was bullshit! It really didn't tell you anything about Frankie's career, all it was about was his greedy wives wanting a share of his estate. I thought the movie was an insult to him and anyone who ever was a fan of the man and his music because it painted him in such a negative light. If you knew nothing about him you would think what you saw on screen was the real story of his life, but it wasn't.
Frankie was grate everybody has something that cause deep pain so he,s not alone. He was making a comeback in the 80,s with him being signed to big apple records.
I wish more of them would. I really wish the actual celebrity would sign in and tell us a little bit about themselves. I know some of them come on here and read what others say.
@newvagal, I agree wid u but i do know that some parts of the movie were fictional...e.g. they didn't let the audience know that he over dosed in his grandmother's house.
The original lineup of the Teenagers, an integrated group, included three African-American members, Frankie Lymon, Jimmy Merchant and Sherman Garnes, and two Puerto Rican members, Herman Santiago and Joe Negroni.
One day in 1955, a neighbor gave The Premiers, the former name of the Teenagers, several love letters that had been written to him by his girlfriend, with the hopes that he could give the boys inspiration to write their own songs. Merchant and Santiago adapted one of the letters into a song called "Why Do Birds Sing So Gay?" With Lymon's input, the song became "Why Do Fools Fall in Love"
Every time the subject is about a person of color it has to be brought up. I guess that even after all this time ,it will never stop and always matter.
