Why Do Fools Fall In Love-part 13 of 14

[cj8803]

@balotelli456 oh. Still sad either way.

[proceesdreamer]

frankies ex manger know he was dead as wrong the way he did frankie before he died.thats why he broke down up there.that was his concious how you gone take all the profit and money over sombody elses song.make millions off of it and snapped out when puled o the side about it.

[proceesdreamer]

even though the movie didnt really tell the real deal story about frankie they sho'll did the right thing by having shirly ceazar sing at his funeral.she sang that song till it just pulls the tears right on out of ya!

[cj8803]

And to see him get high one last time, then drop dead on a bathroom floor of a drug house, is just sad. So sad.

[balotelli456]

@cj8803 that wasn't a drug house, that was his grandmothers house

[cj8803]

This scene at the beginning is pretty disturbing with all the flashbacks of his past. Then he runs into Coop again, the same man who whooped his ass years ago. Wow.

[WestPhillyzFinest]

lmfaoo she was like "[tf face] fuck it heres the deal..." lmboo love viv !

[jrodk0]

man after watching this movies his songs stay stuck in my head....r.i.p frankie i wish i could of heard your songs growing up...

[VanityZERO]

"What?! You jericurl-wearing, ghetto witch Imma whoop your ass!"

Best unsuspecting line ever!

[1301dr]

Shirley Caesar gave me chills when she was singing/.

[AleekahTV]

6:45-6:47 LOL her face

[tbonezcope]

Is that Shirley Caesar singing take my hand, precious lord

[Love4FrankieLymon]

THAT'S IT!!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS BS OF A BIO MOVIE ANYMORE!!! I am starting a petition right here and now! All who agree that a FACTUAL movie should be made about Frankie Lymon which chronicles his entire life, even b4 the Teenagers & with less emphasis on his wives and more on him as a person in regards to his struggles and talent. All who agree thumbs up!

[syleenaluria]

@Love4FrankieLymon noone ever said it was his biography, it is just based on his life. I agree it is horrible how they portrayed him to be even more awful than he was but it is actually a pretty good movie.

[LadyofWar1980]

@ashleesimone2496 I know, right? Her solo was one of my favorite parts of the movie! :p

[LadyofWar1980]

Can anyone can help me out here? I would like to read a good AUTHORIZED book about the life of Franky Lymon. Where can I find any good and FACTUAL information on him? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

[isaacruffinjr]

No one try to explain the original court ruling; it is a complete mindfreak! ONE TIME FOR MY MOMMA, PASTOR SHIRLEY! SHE IS ANOINTED!

[vaneheartsallofyou]

"You met someone who

set you back on your heels,

goody goody!

You met someone and

now you know how it feels,

goody goody!" Haha That's funny!

[swissones]

Omg! The beginning and end of this movie is just HILARIOUS! Emira went from bourgeoisie to mad black woman in .6 seconds...

[jensonm]

fuck it -_- alright here's the deal. LMAO

[pooh2066]

why do all the great singers of the past have to die so young

[fashizzle04]

YAEEEEEE(all screaming) Elizabeth: "STOP, see she said we won so that mean yall lost..Soo Talk to the HAND cuz me nd counselor gotta go " LMAO she dirty

Emira: U Jerri curl wearin Ghetto BIAOTCH

[Myajackson1996]

This reminds me of David ruffin in the movie the temptations... They didnt give him N other chance!

[nrsabu]

"I'm gunna whoop yo ass!"

hahaha!

[barbieslut19]

6:16-6:39 lmao ahaha

[Love4FrankieLymon]

You know I feel Frankie, deep down was just a boy who wanted someone to love him. With his father being an alcoholic, mother dying, child dying, career over, and him hopping from wife to wife so quickly proves to me that he was not searching for romantic love, he just wanted LOVE. I do believe that those 3 loved him as well as other people, but if FRANKIE didnt believe it then there was nothing anyone could do.

[dedseason]

I think he some blue magic

[dedseason]

I think he some blue majic

[FreedomWriter3]

Morris is a complete ass! All he had to do was give Frankie one more chance!! Let Frankie have one more chance to prove himself and sing his litte heart out. If Morris had been there for him like Frankie needed him to be, he probably would have never overdosed! It's all about that money. Not helping old friends. What a shame. It was Frankie that got Morris down in the first place. Frankie made Morris all that money in the begining! If it was Morris, Frankie woulda helped him!!! SHAME!!

[Mandinko23]

what an old fart, he rejected frankie when he came back to get a second chance he insulted him and made him feel worthless, but afte he is dead he is trying to make money out of him.

[eeeewd33]

although the movie was completely inaccurate it still was the death of a rock and roll pioneer and a great voice. its terrible and i sad thing i would have loved to hear frankies stuff if he hadnt died. but we will not be blessed by hearing....it so sad. rest in peace frankie your in a better place now

[Love4FrankieLymon]

@eeeewd33 I agree! I don't agree with the popular belief that he took drugs the night of his death to celebrate. First of all how do they know what was on his mind. Secondly, he has said that his reasons for his drug use was because he was sad, and lonely, not happy. Frankie did not have a great life, by the time he was 19 his career was over, his mother was dead, his father was an alcholic and didn't care about him. I recently read that he had a baby with Elizabeth that died after birth. RIP!

[lyfe1zruff]

@eeeewd33 how the hell do you know were hez at?!

[hoopgirl245]

each?.......EACH! lmao at that

[kandilady37]

When I looked up what the real women none of them resembled any of them weird.

[Love4FrankieLymon]

Okay guys I recently read about something very heartbreaking. Of course I don't know if it is true or not, but supposedly Frankie said to his first wife Elizabeth that he was molested when he was 10 by a woman he was pimping. If that is true, it is so sad : (

[abpyahoo]

i didn't get it. Why didn't his third wife win frankie lymon estate in the first court case?

[spanishliljon]

@abpyahoo In real-life Emira got the money, over a million dollars because she appealed when Elizabeth won.

[sage336]

you jerry curl ghetoo wering bitch! lol

[yatziipoo]

lol my last name is levy, they keep saying it and it sounds weird haha.

[Tsexe07]

you jheri curled wearing witch, i will whoop your ass!

9:32

[jonippy24]

Shirley Caeasar is my girl....and that dang Vivica hahahahaha. "fuc& it, alright look,here's the deal

[ronnykmarshall]

What sucks is how those vulture record exs ripped these young people off. Frankie and from what I've read some of the Teenagers wrote "Why Do Fools" ... yet the record exs took the credit and ripped them off.

Don't get me started about Little Richard. Those assholes had motherfuckers like Pat fucking Boone covering his music for the snotty ass white bigots back in the day.

[21centuryg]

can someone explain the court results? i don't understand.

[Love4FrankieLymon]

Contrary to what wiki says I highly doubt Frankie took heroin that night to celebrate anything. I believe he felt very sad and lonely. I read that his grandma was away that night at a friends house. His mother died in 61 when he was only 19. His new wife didn't come with him after he begged her to. I don't think he had any close friends either. He was all alone that night. Poor Frankie 8 (

[Love4FrankieLymon]

This is so far from the truth! Frankie had a record deal at the time of his death. The reason he went back to New York was to record some songs and do some shows, not beg for them. He was signed to Big Apple 100 right after rehab in late 1966. This movie didnt even include his last two songs recorded in 67 or the ones from 64. Frankie was more than just a junkie womanizer!

[twt6389]

@Love4FrankieLymon you're right, most of this movie is fiction. it's a shame. i wish someone would do a real movie about him.

[aragorn1780]

@twt6389 the hollywood treatment... disappointing the truth since it began!

[sunnydizzle79]

@Love4FrankieLymon its sad that they wouldnt include any of it because it doesnt make for a "good story", id rather see the truth tho over a "hollywood movie ending".

[lyfe1zruff]

@Love4FrankieLymon they had to lie to make the movie more interesting..exageration is the word

[obarnes56]

wow. So sad but i was just shocked on what he did to himself with the drugs. Frankie Lymon is dearly missed.

[790graham]

this is the part i hate the most

[LALOandLALA]

The movie was pretty accurate until the end..Actually when he went back to New York, he was signed by manager Sam Bray to his Big Apple label, and returned to recording. Roulette Records expressed interest in releasing Lymon's records with Big Apple and scheduled a recording session for Feb. 28, 1968..Lymon, was staying at his grandma's house in Harlem, decided to celebrated his good fortune by taking heroin(after 3 years clean).He overdosed on Feb. 27, 1968, one day before his comeback...DAMN!

[doowopdud]

@LALOandLALA I agree with that. He was scheduled to record again with that label and the overdose was out of celebration. I was looking forward to seeing that in movie, but it's too bad that they falsified from the truth!

[Ariegiggles]

@LALOandLALA What kind of comeback includes the very thing that failed you?! *cocaine addiction*

[SirWanHimself]

@Ariegiggles heroin actually thats 12 times worse. Your right though he should of thought better

[Ariegiggles]

@SirWanHimself What is the difference between cocaine and heroin? Thank you.

[FreedomWriter3]

That is so sad. But hey, that's what drugs will do to you. That's why you gotta be smart and say no, or if you just have to, don't over dose and be careful who you get ur stuff from. That was wrong for Elizabeth to cheat them like that. She gave them her word that if she won, she'd split the money with them, and she didn't. That's just really wrong and rude.

[ipod360888]

i hate drugs

[robynsegg]

@ipod360888: I AGREE!

[anteishia20]

Precious Lord, take my hand.

Lead me on, let me stand.

I am tired, I am weak, and worn.

Through the storm, lord here my hand precious Lord and Lead me home.

[translationwiz]

This is how producers think: We invest the money we get the money. The singer/artist gets the fame. The public get the pleasure&enjoyment for the money that goes to the money. F/d up I know....

peace/Salalm

[TheTnAshow00]

Im whoop yo ass.! lol

[tiltop11]

that dealer gave frankie a hot dose

[natsicar55]

wats a hot dose ?

[jadeyQ13]

that is cool and the gang!

[dinkidow]

You dumbasses talking about black and white. All I have to do is get a girl to fuck your life up. And you dumbasses would fall for it hook ...line...and sinker. So shut up with your black and white bullshit.

[honeychick4ever]

Mr.Levi was a crooked manager, took all Frankie's royalties. I didnt understand the end of the movie. who got frankie's assets his 1st wife Elizabeth or last wife Elmyra?

[Hakeme]

the last wife since she had the proper paper work

[prettylady673]

His first wife won but a civil suit was later filed by his last and his last wife won that.

[hellokittycutie2003]

I love how Little Richard is at the funeral at his present age of when the movie was done, and not Miguel Nunez instead, lol. But, I know Little Richard gotta get his shine on.

[humbl3pi3]

i wish he hadnt given up. he had so much more life to live. where were all those ppl when he was slipping away..i only hope that i will be there for those who need me the most

[ladylove0223]

you're a great friend..there should be more people like you in the world.

[cherishshanae]

Lol she kicked the door trying to get her!

[Cutechick551]

I LOVE U FRANKIE!

[ToledoSpartan]

I hate how record execs and producers put their names as "composers" on records back then. Just to make more money at the artists' expense.

[harlem0987]

But do black artist stick together to fight the powers that be, NO FUCKIN WAY. Look at the DEATH ROW'S, ROC-A-FELLAS, BAD BOYS, MOTOWNS, DEF JAMS, all these record companies were own by black people but GREED destroyed the movement of taking it to the next level. All artists is focus on is BLING BLING. the same BLING BLING that killed our ancestors in AFRICA and beyond.

[blaquelovely1]

Elizabeth was a mess. Elmyra acted a fool in response to the double cross. Hilarious!

[DonDivaBitch]

DAMN ZOLA DIED?

[turion1444]

i love the part when shirley caesar sings her hymn. absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!

[F2daO]

lmao

Elizabeth si so mean ...

Emira wen Ghetto Gospel i knew she had it in ha ..looool

[primadonna11]

Larenz Tate <3

[ohiostmarine29203]

Poor Frankie Somebody Should Have Walked In that Bathroom before he drove that needle into his arm.

[Jmb22083]

The ending is a little bit inaccurate. He got some gigs and he celebrated his fortune by using heroin. He was clean for three years before he took his life; he overdosed at his grandmother's bathroom. He died a day before he was scheduled go to the recording session. What a shame. Frankie was a talented young man and he threw it all away.

[harlem0987]

And it happens all the time to BLACK ARTIST. Never gonna see reall talent anymore from BLACK PEOPLE like frankie and zola anymore. They were BLACK SOUL ARTIST. Todays artist that's black is nothing but SLUTS, WHORES, and FAKE ASS GANGSTERS.

[Witchy1976]

LOL

[trizzooo]

fuck levy !! trash just like record exec nowadays

[termaraclarke]

the woman singing at the funeral voice is truly touched by god

[radcliff2002]

her name is shirley ceaser

[Witchy1976]

Yep...that's Shirley Ceasar alright! I almost didn't recognize her until they did the close up.

[Witchy1976]

Sorry...I've misspelled her name...it's actually Shirley Caesar....not Ceasar (what I said before) or Ceaser (what you said). turion1444was correct.

[TheRoguishOne]

Hey, the singer at Frankie's funeral was Pastor Shirley Caesar. What a sad ending for Frankie; those opiates messed him up so much and they destroyed him. He deserved better in life and death, and the 3 wives needed better resolution to this matter. R.I.P. Frankie.

[zextraaki]

i was addictied on heroin 10 long years and i live in Serbia-east europe and i can say that Frankie Lymon was not gilty for nothing it was heroin ho messed up the things around Frankie.FL rest in peace

[Dutta0840]

zola died ? from wat?

n i felt so bad wen he died i dont blame it on either the industry will eat a person aliive to cause them to do things crazy things and Morris needed to make a living to so he couldnt deal wid frankie lymon bein addictied to drugs and not bin popular but he shudhave not been as hard on him

[marcel52789]

stroke

[Jmb22083]

Zola had several strokes. However, she didn't died from the stroke. She died from the complications of pneumonia. I didn't know that she died until I saw a few post on here.

[gkh042000]

Man I don't place all that damn blame on Morris. Its on Frankie...substance is not a pity...but a weakness...if u not strong enough to beat that then that's on you. My best friend's dad been clean since we were 10 and that's been years ago and he beat it himself after he got arrested he wised up.

[sexisuperman08]

i bet u morris feels bad now asshole so what he paid for his funeral

[ohiostmarine29203]

He Didn't Pay For The Funeral Frankie's Third Wife Did.

[tears37]

its so sad a man with such talent died the way he did also i feel sorry for them all he did em dirty

rip zola and frankie

[chisashu]

that sharing money thing would have been good. All those women got hurt by Frankie. They should all get the money as compensation for their pain.

[istayfly1020]

ur 2 deep lol

[chisashu]

But check it out...doesn't that seem fair?

[sexisuperman08]

i agree

[maryray10]

CHI U SAID EXACTLY WHATS ON MA MIND. i BLV D JUDGE SHLD HAVE TREATEDTHIS CASE SPECIALLY, N AWARDED ALL D WOMEN EQUAL % OF D MONEY.

@ LEAST FOX SHLD HAVE LET D OTHER WOMEN SHARE 50% OF D MONEY!!

[maryray10]

[MTB4fanatic]

[MTB4fanatic]

WHAT? You Jerry Curl wearing, Ghetto BITCH! Im'a woop yo ass!!! haha

[dinkidow]

As long as it's not for a man. Men are the dumbest mother fuckers on this Earth. And they enjoy it. But not me. I already know about these bitches. They do not want you to progress, not as long as they live. I can't wait to see it happen to you!!!!!

[Newjack47]

[katherinesaint]
