Frankie Lymon was a good singer but a real @sshole

[mkl62]

This hit by Frankie Lymon hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and also in the United Kingdom. It hit #6 on the Top 40 charts. It would finish at #28 for the year, 1956. And the hits are getting bigger.

[sicakes]

something that makes me proud to be a human!

[TiggahG]

Why do all these oldies song remind me of Pulp Fiction?

[awesomesarah99]

@TiggahG lol same with me :)

[TiggahG]

@awesomesarah99 YAY! We share the same love for Pulp Fiction! :D

[Shellheart76]

@thefashion1ster you've no right to say anything about that generation, as every generation in history has had some downfall or another, so I suggest you mull things over for a small while before you speak.

[MikexRayner12]

"Why do birdss singgg sooo gayyyy?!"

[albanianpaddy]

@MikexRayner12 birds singing gay means they sing very happily/colorfully etc... as the word gay has many meanings.

[MikexRayner12]

@albanianpaddy yeahh i know what it means loll.. not something you hear everyday in a song though.. which is what makes 60s-70s music the greatest.. SIMPLE 2 minute songs and that's all it needs!! LOVE it!!!

[albanianpaddy]

@MikexRayner12 I totally agree with you!

[NY4LIFE100]

Godzilla that a he and he black there a movie about him to

[jhague89]

No one cares how old you are, it's a good song, a lot of people like it. Get over yourself

[slicedm0nkey]

@jhague89 I think the point they are trying to make is older people often label our generation as having terrible taste in music and not appreciating the classics, which i do prefer over anything these days, i mean how can you not?

[jhague89]

@slicedm0nkey Agreed, but I find it annoying when people post comments only to get "likes" or try to impress the viewers of the video by their good taste in music despite their young age.

[TheUna123]

@burningodzillaj53 it a guy frenkie lymon

[VirtuaSavage]

I'm 19 and I'm more inspired by past idols than the so called idols we have now.

[sohair10]

[TheKootas]

@sohair10

[BurninGodzillaJ53]

[animorphs52]

@BurninGodzillaJ53 lol she's a he 

[nuke295]

@BurninGodzillaJ53 its a dude dumbass

[tazzman94]

I wish I lived in the 50's when all the good music was around not the rap crap... And I'm only 13

[odilman24]

Why couldn't I live during this time with real music, now all this rap music is hard to understand

[shadowpriestsable]

im 37 but wish i lived in this era.real music..real people..this is the real stuff here.

[xxLaserGaMingxx]

I would give anything to live in the 50s, chilling while watching a baseball game with my friends and hitting on chicks, with this music in the background, thats the life

[cahboony]

me too.... i feel the same way and  im only 30!

[MickeyLynott]

The "singers" on X-factor etc cannot compare to Frankie. It's a pity his music is so unknown. He should be up there with Elvis, Sammy Davis Jr. etc etc.

[cahboony]

@MickeyLynott its just that he came up so young.... im sure his voice changed and it was different for him... but true. this is absolute CLASSIC

[FoxWithTheVox]

15 people call what Kesha does music.

[Mr62Sam]

HOLY FUCK MAFIA 2

[RickyRawwr92]

15 are deaf lol

[SuperBosnianking]

where was i in 62" u ask? i was a little spermling

[mrIdiditforthelulz]

@SuperBosnianking in 62 I was banging a Saigon whore

[SuperBosnianking]

@mrIdiditforthelulz lol right on man

[JewbiBambooni]

@SuperBosnianking, I will cut your asshole out with a rusty screwdriver.

[jessica18181]

@JewbiBambooni lmao!

[IgnisSolus47]

Mafia 2 brought me here.

[Razor1335]

Why do brids sing so gay!?

[TheDp321]

@Razor1335 gay means happy moron

[Guera1619]

WHATS UP



[YoungKALO1]

@TheDp321 This shit is so epic dude every time I listen to this song I rewind the first two lines at least a dozen times jus because of how good his fuckin' voice sounds no homo.

I mean GODDAMN people had soul back then

[mrIdiditforthelulz]

@Razor1335 *Facepalm*.............fucking­ TARD

[MrFACKyouDUDE]

@Razor1335 stop being so Happyfobic

[LauraTweedTV]

I WENT TO MEL's before! that year was 2011 :D

[djgras25]

I think I was meant to be raised in the 50's. I really do. lol Although that would make me the same age as my parents. Anyways, it was all about sock hops, diners, drive ins, and that made you cool. Despite how some people were treated, this would be such a great time. :)

[buddacafe]

The anthem to an American era man kind will never see again. Building a time machine doesn't cut it. You have to be born & raised in these days.

[MrDjtatt]

@buddacafe hahai fel where your commin from but u dont have to be born then just to relize this is the shit

[buddacafe]

@MrDjtatt I agree. What I mean to say is, I would love to grow up into this. Not walk into it with the knowledge of music.There is much more to that era than just music. Know what I mean?

[thefashion1ster]

@buddacafe Yep, racism, prejudice, and sexism.

OH, boy!!

[theraver2020]

@buddacafe

I am pretty positive that this might come back in the future. I don't you'll have the same stufff of the 50s but I can see the 50s concept comeback. Just like the 30s and 40s concept is back right now because of the recession. And we are having the same patriosism of world war ii with our election. Obama = Hitler.

[georgiesgirl13]

At jizzpoo2, I agree lol

[jizzpoo2]

the jackson 5 of the 50s..

[Whyyousuchadumbbutt]

@jizzpoo2 Not really.. They weren't that popular

[ivrin9]

oh my how the world has changed. Back then kids were making great music and now best they can do is to admit oldies were better and got praized for it

[DavetheDweller]

@ivrin9 lol

[DiamondInDhaRuff]

He has a beautiful voice!

[bdebramo]

oh man this is a great song. i was singing it all freaking day.

[TheGoalkeeper3000]

Fuck my generation

[NIghtRider805]

@TheGoalkeeper3000 my sentiments exactly i was born in the WRONG century

[thefashion1ster]

@NIghtRider805 What I said to him.

If you're black or latino or asian you would have a million slurs thrown your way and be treated unfairly.

If you're a woman you'd get raped and it would be looked over, plus your pay would be minimal.

But if you're a white man...well, hmm.

I guess white men always have it good.

[thefashion1ster]

@TheGoalkeeper3000 LOL, ignorant angsty little teen.

Yes, let's go back to when racism was so much more prevalent, women and men didn't get equal pay, and parents spanked the shit out of their kids with no laws preventing it.

[Videogammer69]

@thefashion1ster STFU troll, he was refering to this generation's taste in music.

[LordFly2k]

@thefashion1ster always has to be one asshole to ruin it for everyone.. thank you sir :)

[thefashion1ster]

@LordFly2k *miss

Welcome.

[boody473]

[Okid847]

[mati94100]

THE BEST SONG ON THE WORLD

[aspenrebel]

She achieved her desired objective....I'm never going to see her again. Eventhough she doesn't know it yet.

[aspenrebel]

OK, Chaulk ME up as a Fool who just fell in Love for 1 Day. I'm not kidding, from Thursday over to Friday, when it started well, but then it all went to hell in a hurry. That was at 1 pm, when it started, by 3:20 pm, it was over and I left. All because I said something "stupid" which in fact turned out to be very "smart", cuz it revealed who she REALLY is, her character, what she does, and what she is about. That took until 3:20 pm. Cuz she got pissed, w/o my knowing it, and she did stuff.

[mimi911roxs]

I knew this song before Mafia 2...but when I heard it on the game I almost crashed the car lol

[xXfricklefaceXx]

@TheMeatDucky because most people ik listen to stupid shiz and i'm saying i'm not afraid to be diffrent.that's common sense.

[adrockinbarrow]

for some it was this...or that that they came here because of... i have franky and bennies to blame.....

[Drjimbillybob]

@adrockinbarrow U just made me hungry

[mshaffer13]

why does my heart skip a crazy beat ?!?!?//

[JOSUE5401]

I first heared this song on a program selling a box set of oldie songs about 4 in the morning, anyone know what I'm talking about? I promise to remember is a better song than this one!

[computerrage]

@JOSUE5401 Yes with the badly scripted 'ad libs' between a plastic woman and a guy in a bad wig and over white teeth!

[littlebabygiggles08]

where was i in 1962 ? i was in heaven because my parents were just little kids at the time :P

[AlbertWesker2111]

the first time i heard this i thought it was a girl singing when i was playing mafia 2

[wfarrar69]

TheMeatDucky:he knows great music when he hears it and loves it and likes to shout it out.

[classiccarguy93]

I've always loved this song, but I recently discovered it was my Grandparent's "song" back in 1956, and they were married in 1957. My grandmother died in November. RIP Nana I love u :(

[xXfricklefaceXx]

i wish i were born around this time. i'm only 14 years old and i'm not afraid to say"yeah i listen to doo wop"

[TheMeatDucky]

@xXfricklefaceXx Why the hell would you be afraid to say that??

[aspenrebel]

@MikeHicks1234 Well we have 2 oldies stations here in Boston, although they haven't been doing a great job playing songs, since they stopped playing 7 straight weeks of Christmas music 24/7. Playing some weird stuff that I don't even know what it is. Don't know why they doing that.

[aspenrebel]

Yeah, back in the '50's kids had to BUY the 45 or Album (the kids on here now are asking, What's that?), or listen to it on the radio or go to a concert. But they could also go into a Record Store, and they had these Listening Booths, where they let you play the Song, to see if you liked it and wanted to buy it. No 8 Track, No Cassette, No CD, No Internet, No iPod, etc. Primitive, wasn't it?

[aspenrebel]

@1234clydey You were born in 98? 1998 or 1898? 98, let's see that'd make you how old now? Ummmm? 13 years old???!!! You're ONLY 13? OMG!!! I have overdue bills older than you. What is 21st Century music? I didn't know there was any, except for alot of noise. Your Grandparents probably listened to this song.

[yamaharagger]

@aspenrebel is not a girl singer there is a boy 

[aspenrebel]

OK, speaking of why do fools fall in love.... Why am I falling in love with this girl, as we speak?  I don't know why. She's not even my type. But there is something about her, right from when I first met her. It's late nite Sat night, and she just told me on Thursday that she had broken up with her bf that morning. I saw her for a little while Thurs nite, and she had been crying her eyes out. I tried to comfort her, and show her that I care about her, but it will be to no avail. Alas

[aspenrebel]

[dumpsterdiveral]

Absolutely love this song 3

Also, I feel kinda bad pointing this out, but this song came far before American graffiti. I mean, where were you in '62 compared to song circa 56, as the description states. I'm not hatin, I love the song, the movie, and the coupling of these, I'm just sayin.

[110665bigguy]

great singer who lost everything to stupid drugs btw a great song GO FRANKIE GO YEAH

[SGSHADOWOD]

@110665bigguy I can't tell whether you like him or don't like him. :P

[westlifeminkie]

Mafia2 made me love oldies

[horrorstep]

@westlifeminkie True that, I went straight on itunes and speant a small fortune after getting out of jail in the 50s and hearing frankie for the first time :P it has changed my mood drastically! Especially Frankie Lymon, can't believe I have only just let 50s music into my life.

[shesdwellingwithin]

@westlifeminkie Why Mafia? It's been around for a long time. My grandma made my love oldies. Maybe we all have different stories about music

[mIlITerySTuFF]

@westlifeminkie Same, thats how I know this song lol

[Selfmadelyky]

@westlifeminkie i was just playing that lol

I need the lyrics of this song! I love it!
