At least at the beginning, Fabian was the most reluctant teen idol in America. Bob Marcucci, boss of Chancellor Records, discovered 14-year-old Fabiano Forte on his front stoop in Philadelphia, worried sick about his father, who had just been hauled away in an ambulance. After some serious effort, Marcucci finally convinced the lad to try his hand at recording rock and roll.

At first, Fabian was a work in progress behind the mic, but it didn't take him long to start scoring smashes for Chancellor. I'm A Man, one out of four bonus cuts on this re-issue, the Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman-penned Turn Me Loose and Tiger - Fabian nailed one hit after another in 1959, and millions of girls squealed their approval.

Released in this version at the time only on a Japanese label under license, this vinyl album with Chancellor recordings is extremely hard to find and is very rarely offered in its original format. We have reproduced the original artwork and added four bonus tracks.

Fabian's rock and roll career was short but sweet.

Fabian

Fabian, born on Feb. 6, 1943 in Pennsylvania — also the home town of Frankie Avalon, with whom he shared both manager and record label — his real name was Fabiano Forte Bonaparte. It was said that he was 'discovered' walking down the street by a talent scout impressed by his Italianate profile. If Stan Freberg's character, Clyde Ankle, was a satire on any one figure, it was Fabian. His record company (Chancellor) released five singles in 1959 in the hope that he might catch on as another Elvis Presley.

These included 'I'm A Man', `Turn Me Loose', 'Tiger', 'Come On And Get Me' and 'Hound Dog Man'. All figured in the Hot Hundred al-though, in Britain, his contrived image never caught on in the same way. His films included Hound Dog Man (1959), North To Alaska (1960) and Fireball 500 (1966).
