  • LOVE this song <3 :D

  • Everything about this creeps me out for some reason

  • where are the teenagers?

  • he looks like a kid....lmfaooo but hes an amazing singer!!!

  • @kourtneygirl2 He looks like a kid because he was a kid at this time, and the Teenagers were broken up at this time.

  • I am surprised that this did not hit over one million!

  • Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers inspired Berry Gordy to mold the Jackson 5. Many thought Michael would end up like Frankie because they both were young superstars!

  • its so sad for a kid to die like this

  • more talent in his little finger than michael jackson had in his whole body. such a shame he died so young..

  • @skontch1 Oh you think that? :O

  • He's so cute ^_^ 

  • was he a black indian?

  • hahahah GOODY GOODY! This song is cold blooded!!!!!!! hahahah

  • maybe im only 18 but, i watched alot of max brothers (also) but this is really good, think of it, being famous the time tv was just invented, and being a "celebrity" at that time.... why aint i 60 years old.....

  • He was born in 1942 and this was presented in 1958 so he was about 18 years on here .

  • frankie lymon you the best dj-lex moreau say tha ok

  • My parents raised me on oldies.Frankie is one of my favorite and I'm only 17 and know who he is.

  • Seriously, music today really isn't the same as it used to be back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and even 90's. Now it's like rap and weird beats put together, and they really don't even sing, this is going towards drake or lil wayne,

  • thi5 i5 how they said fuck u in the 50's

  • He has a nig head......

    But he looks like my cousin.....

  • @NerdzruleXD

    You have a cracker brain and you look like an inbred.

  • Sammy.. i will learn this dance. 

  • A great voice and such great potential. Apparently a victim of drug abuse, like so many r and b and rock and roll performers.

  • @ :40- Go Frankie, it's your birthday!

  • jesus he could sing..makes idol look like no talent rejects

  • @hanksallen Wow, u called a dead man a crackhead O_o feel any better about yourself?? People like u who sit behind the computer spreading negativity disgust me. Get a life!

  • Hope I don't pick up his habit

  • Crackhead

  • @hanksallen Hey that's great. Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery.

  • im here cause that movie "why do fools fall in love"....

  • How old was he in this??

  • @Zookrider228 He was 15 right here.

  • @JKnow314

    He was 25 when he died from a herion overdose. Like so many great talents the fame was too much for him.

  • check out my original songs I write and what not listen to hide and seek and the fair and in the nigghtime thank you suscribe if you like !

  • i bet alot of women wanted him!! :)

  • man frankie lymon can sing and dance

  • He really knew how to deliver a song! Great!!

  • Frankie is a LEGEND in my eyes

  • im 14 i cant believe im listening to this.. :o...like it,..XD

  • I discovered this song when I was eight I saw it on mafia 2 ever since I have loved it

  • I was a kid but I remember this on Ed Sullivan. I didn't need a movie to bring me here. He was our Idol who died far too early in 1968. I loved his singing so much I was happy that he was trying to forge a comeback....but then he died! RIP guy. We still love you.

  • @boomerang905 If we listen, the band is very good but Frankie's voice is an instrument all its own. Thrilling.

  • u rock your the best srry about your lost

  • FUCK DRUGS stick to WEED, DRINK and NOS fuck the rest

  • It's absolutely amazing the talent in vocals that he had as a child. Mother of mercy, just singing along trying to keep up with his circular breathing made my jaw hurt. What a terrible sight we don't see such talent these days.

  • Tremendo, an artist indeed ^^

  • Frankie L is a Libra and Lil Wayne is one too!! frankie messed around with three women and Wayne messes around with women and he got married more than once!! Wow

  • @leoshiajr Fuck Lil Wayne.

  • @leoshiajr Goodness gracious no one on here is thinking about Lil Wayne, the Gremlin!

  • ♥ Makess Me Blush

  • @partyboiii323 true that drake and lil wayne aint shit you are right frankie had real talent

  • @partyboiii323 i know tell me about it?...what happened to music?

  • I like this song. What show is this from?

  • He was awesome to bad it did not last.

  • i like the sound of his voice shame it went to waste

  • wow he was short

  • @Dontcallmyname225 he was 13

  • so sad that he was performing in front of people who hated his guts.

  • he sang SO angelically.

  • Now I understand when true hip hop came on the scene how it would scare people...

  • It was something very specail about him!

  • Comment removed

  • Am I the only one who thought he walked off like a pimp? Haha

  • @str8OuttaNaptown30 he did put a lil something in his steps LOL

  • What a talented, young great voice and moves. No phony hype and millions of $ to promote HIM.

  • 1:01 FRANKIES EYES!! I CAN SEE THEM! =P

  • @LilJ9117 IKR!!! YAYYY :))

  • The best preformance ive ever seen by frankie lymon

  • @holttrucking ur very biased because entainers of every race were deep in marijuana and heroin in those days, not just black. How bout you study heroin use in dominantly white rock n roll before you label that as a black drug

  • man i wish motown got to him before drugs. He was the michael of the 50s, he couldve went so far !

  • love the way he says the last hoooray

  • Elvis studied Fankie's moves TOO!!!!!

  • Michael Jackson was inspired as a kid by this one! Just puts it into perspective, the heights this kid could've achieved.

  • to nubagirl you should know history because almost every black entertainer was pushed to use drugs thats why mostly all of them have no money coming in off their royaltys look it up you see what happened to michael jackson the y made sure they killed him by any means

  • THEY USED HIM! SMH THEY PUT BILLIE HOLIDAY THRU THE SAME MADNESS!

  • what fkin amazing stage presence!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THEY MADE ALL THE BLAK DO HEROIN BACK IN THOSE DAYS R.I.P

  • @holttrucking wrong. it was the sign if the times and it went on into the 60's. Heroin use to be in medicine until earlier 1900's when they found out how dangerous it is. White and black talented people have OD off this terrible drug. Know your history dear.

  • Its not only the music ...........Its the dance and the style

  • Me too!

  • I just watching the movie "why do fools fall in love" it was sad

  • wow frankie lymon blows justin bieber out of the water

  • @trevanismith why be suprised lol

  • he was one of the best singers back then......to bad that the drugs got to him before anything else came by. i think that he died before he had to.

  • Unique voice.. I liked it.

  • i wish frankie was still living he should have went to mowtown

  • @TheKingpoplock10 he got hooked on drugs and mowtown changed the way of rock n roll so he probably wouldn't make it. but i loves his music

  • great song and great artist

  • wasted talent

  • i love it

    pure 1958 swag

  • Aw it's so good to listen to real music. Nowadays kids musicians are no more than idiotic commercialized girly voiced tuneless wannabe artists. Payed to be a sex-symbol for those who cannot have sex - or should not.

    Did we developed since the 30's? Mostly not.

  • his voice was still pretty high at 17

  • HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY FRANKIE!!!

  • thank god 4 u-tube-we can all relive our past vicariously through it..

  • What a talent .. too bad the drug kings got to him !

  • Imagine being in those days and actually watching this air live!! :)

  • swag

    

  • Wow incredible. Great post!

  • Who ever is here comparing voices from franky to michael as kid singers; sorry, but you can't compare because franky voice was very powerful, Michael as a kid could not hit his notes and talent, and im a big fan of Michael but its the truth

  • was he a midget or something???kinda reminds me of gary colemen lol no offense!

  • Okay so i love Frankie & all .. but at this age, Michael Jackson was a hundred times better. The notes he could hit, the charisma, just AMAZING. Listen to his cover of who's loving you , for gods sake, then tell me frankie's better ..

    but i love Frankie , r.i.p <3

  • @JM4LAJF there wouldent be a michael if there was no frankie....

  • @jacquel12376 sweetie, there would be no michael if it weren't for his dad beating the shit out of him & making him practice all through his youth, that & James brown , but i very much doubt frankie lymon had much to do with it, & not trying to disrespect , as i said, i love frankie!

  • @JM4LAJF ur right but frankie was one of the first youth black musicans in the world....to me he was the best.....frankie is under rated...he would have been the mike of the 50s...but he was a junkie...mike blew up cuz he didnt do drugs...back then drugs were the cool thing to do...ppl were dumb in the 50s/60s

  • @jacquel12376 Yeah he was definately underrated , i agree ..

  • @JM4LAJF  and michael looked up to artist like frankie, james brown, jackie wilson and charlie chaplin

  • @PrissiMa06 yep i know.

  • see ... don't let drugs kill u ... if he was still here a lot would be different

  • man that voice is classic!!!

  • kind of makes a neggah wanna bust a tear
