I am 74 years old and I still love my 50's music. FRANKIE is my idol back in the 50's. I was just 13 years old back then. He will always be my first love. I am so happy that I got his autograph in a concert I went to. 😊😊🙂🙂🥰🤗
Hard to believe Frankie was only 19 years old here. Being from Southern California and growing up in the '50's and '60's, this era of time was very, very special and unique and quite innocent. I greatly miss those days and the music of my youth.
If it's the gospel of our God and King, the Lord Jesus Christ....you certainly may! I trusted and received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior nearly 50 years ago and have followed him faithfully since, sharing His gospel of good news of salvation with many others! @@sladesteinagel8544
A favorite song of my husband and I. I played it while he was in ICU. We sang/mouthed the song and held hands. He later passed away as he had Parkinson’s. We were almost married 55 years. Thank you Frankie Avalon, for this beautiful song you sang. It is so meaningful!
@Maureen_j9c.Maureen .62 years married to the one and only ❤❤ of your life where you feel like your now 💔 but the memories will never fade and im sure hes with you in spirit and will never leave yourside until you close your eyes and hes there beside you like back 59 years ago.Rest in peace to him 🌹💐❤🕊🕊🦋🦋 and GodBless him🙏AMEN.🌹🌹🌹🌹
I still love Frankie Avalon and his singing! He is a very talented man. He plays the trumpet, I know. I saw “The Golden Boys” In Las Vegas. He, Bobby Rydell and Fabian put on a great show. The three of them are from South Philadelphia. So many great performers have come from Philadelphia, Pa.! Mario Lanza was from there.
Bella canción. Favorita de una prima mía que ya esta en el cielo. Ella la cantaba en inglés y yo trataba de cantarla también. Elevé una oración por ella. Me teajo muchos recuerdos de mi adolescencia .
He had IT. It's not like he was the best singer or actor....he wasn't but he connected with his audience on a level which is rare. Sixty yrs later he's still in our hearts.

I saw him last night.He looks and sounds great. He moves quick around the stage.I'm 20 years younger then him and can't get my hips & back to do that without pain.Lol. I really enjoyed seeing Frankie and Annette on the screen as he sang one of the beach songs.He did other great songs besides his own.Go see him when he comes to your town.You'll be glad you did.Love You Frankie!

Frankie Avalon was my mother's favorite singer/star since she was a kid. Mom passed away but i like being able to look at these frankie videos and imagine her as a teen watching them many moons ago. Thank you Frankie, you make me feel like Heaven isnt so far away
This song is a very good one. Natural and simple. Nothing complicated and no gimmicks. A simple expression of love feelings. Not only is Frankie's voice Great but the music backing him up is very well performed also. One of my favorite love songs of my teen years.
Miss those days and American Bandstand. Simple, thoughtful and beautiful way to express the emotion of love...the joy or the heartbreak.Frankie Avalon not too bad looking either...still is !
Yes, I’m watching again.😃. Now I follow him on Facebook and he does live shows from his home just talking, answering questions, will also do some cooking. It’s fantastic.
These songs were so beautiful filled with thoughts of real love. If I could tell Angelina I loved her I would be so blessed. May The Lord walk with you Dear One. I pray someday to see you in Heaven dear one!
A good song of the daydreamy nature of Young love. I liked this song so much when I first fell in love in 1961. It did not work out in my case as she had another lover by then. But I still remember how I felt about her. She must be old and wrinkled by now. How time flies!
You are right I have gray hair too when it used to be jet black. And we have a lot of pains and diseases we didn't know of then but at least we are still alive and lived through that wonderful time. Regards.
I Iiked to hear this song 62 years ago, and it is still very nice to hear. I was a teenager then. It is a song a young person can feel identified with.
Frankie Avalon is also a great trumpet player!.In the late 1950's Frankie Avalon had a string of big hit records then in the early and mid 1960's Frankie had a string of popular beach/cars movies then in 1978 Frankie did a roll in the huge hit movie Grease now Frankie does concerts.
A very nice love song which I used to hear when I had my first crush and I remember saying some ot the things it says to my first girlfriend. It lasted only a year but it sure made me happy. Maybe had she stayed we would still be together but really I shall never know. She went away with her family far away and I never saw her again. And this good song makes me remember her and the good times we had together.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the '50s were a glorious time to be a teenager.Being born in 1970,my '50s were the '80s.Two decades poles apart in trends,music & lifestyle but each giving moments never to be forgotten.
@@EPA18 I'm 72 now and when I was a preteen boy I loved his voice when that song came out, but as an American who happened to be Black, I knew that I'd never be popular like that the 50s and 60s was a horrible time for people of color in America.
Beautiful and dreamy song, which is just right for listening when one is a teenager. I liked it then, and now through old, still like it. It is well sung, has credible lyrics, and is a delight to listen.
As noted above, on this day in 1959 {November 28th} Frankie Avalon performed "Why" the ABC-TV musical variety program, the 'Dick Clark Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show'... At the time "Why" was in it's first week on Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #95, and on December 28th it would peak at #1 {for 1 week}, thus it holds the distinction of being the last #1 record of the 1950s... It reached #6 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... And on the same 'Beech-Nut' show he also performed the record's B-side, "Swingin' On A Rainbow", it peaked at #39 on the Top 100... Between 1958 and 1976 he had twenty-five Top 100 records; seven made the Top 10 with two reaching #1, besides "Why", his other #1 record was "Venus", for 5 weeks in 1959... His 25th and last Top 100 record was a disco version of "Venus", it peak at #46 on the Top 100 and on March 14th, 1976, it reached #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... Mr. Avalon, born Francis Thomas Avallone, celebrated his 77th birthday two months ago on September 18th {2017}...
Anthony Newley recorded this song in the UK and it was a huge hit but Frankie Avalon's original version is so good. They are both great but maybe Frankie just sounds better and more appealing.
I love that his hairdo was considered *crazy* haha. Boy if they could only have seen what hair would be doing even in 1969 would they be in for the shock of their life!
I have the 45 of it love the song o i finally figured out who the other character Frankie played in Bikini Beach it was Potato Bug. Thanks for sharing the video it brings back memories for me when i was a young girl.
que recuerdos mas lindos de cuando era muchacho 10 o 12 la escuchaba en la antigua radio de la familia muchas gracias a la persona que baja estas inolvidables melodias
Me too! Saw him live last night and nothing has changed for me.1st row center and every time he looked at me I felt the same way as always.Such a handsome and talented man.
Song were specifically written for Frankie and Fabian...they didn't have much by way of range, the notes were pretty even, but they had something special to give and we loved them.
Frankie played Stockton; from New Jersey rode into Texas with Crockett; after his eastern tour; Stockton was the youngest man to die there..A grandson and great grandson of signers of the Declaration Independence; Constitution Delegates from NJ..
I was preteen just adorable. I think why because I💞 it. I think this is the song that was in big w/ Tom Hanks played it on the piano with his feet the toy remember love this song it just warms my heart. Why because I love.

I just wish I was born in their generation. I love how the men look presentable and gentle. Women act prim and proper. Life was simple. Oh, man.

All of us of that age are old and wrinkled by now. Not that it matters, as we were there for the real show.

Frankie Avalon was one of those teenage idols who popularized the genre of POP music from the late 1950s..
who "helped" popularize it. He did not do it on his own.
He has no voice.
