Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers

Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers are among the defining groups of early rock 'n' roll. Frankie Lymon was born in New York City on 30 September 1942; his father, an amateur singer, sang with a church group and soon had his sons taking part in a junior version of it. As early as 1954 Frankie was playing bongos and congas in a mambo group and appearing, among other places, at the Apollo Theater's Amateur Night.

At Edward W. Stitt Junior High in Washington Heights, the singers Jimmy Merchant, Sherman Garnes, Joe Negroni and Herman Santiago came together. The Ermines became the Coupe DeVilles and finally the Premiers. Frankie, who lived across the street from Santiago, was allowed to sing along at a rehearsal, slipped effortlessly into the harmonies at the age of twelve and from then on took the high tenor part. The quintet sang the R&B hits of the day while also working up original songs.

Richard Barrett, lead singer of the Valentines and a talent scout for George Goldner's Rama/Gee Records, knew the group from their street-corner performances and invited them to audition. On the number Why Do Birds Sing So Gay it was above all Frankie's voice that stood out. Goldner made him lead singer, had the lyrics and title reworked into Why Do Fools Fall In Love, and gave the group the name The Teenagers.

Why Do Fools Fall In Love appeared in early 1956 and became one of the great standards of rock 'n' roll. Its authorship was disputed for years; the very young singers understood little about contracts and publishing rights, and only after a long legal battle was the song credited to Frankie Lymon and Morris Levy. Yet the exhilarating voice of the youthful Frankie Lymon left its mark on an entire era.
