yeah, I'm a witness! He's the goods, saw him in Newark at a club that ain't there no more near the Hallmark house .... he was jamming and the joint was jamming .... history now ....
Man oh man what great talent Frankie has this one song still influences artist to day. Too bad Frankie never saw any profits when it went up the charts his record company was a fron for some rich whit drug dealing dentist bastard!
i want to be just like him when i grow up......lol i got nothing but love for you my billzoy..dancin like that...bip bop bam, well i'll be dam. peace bro where ever you are , God bless and thanks for the memories.
He was lip synching the song... What ever happened to him? Looks like he hit hard times. Slamming song though - for sure!! To this day still makes you get up and move your thang!!
I dont know Frank, so I would like to know if this guy is him. Someone could please tell me?? THis song was a great great hit in the 70- or 80 s...., i hope that Frank had made good money with that song, and not only the music companies. Good music is forever !!! My congrulations to Frank, regards from Mexico.
@firstaztek Lo que yo tengo entendido es que Frankie fue engañado por su manager robándole regalías y todo lo relacionado con las canciones de Smith.Claro que es muy raro ver a este señor en un escenario tan modesto sabiendo del tremendo éxito que tuvo en los ochentas.
my dad was his drummer and the drummer in the group called philly cream. the double dutch bus was the nameof the philly cream tour bus...........way b4 my time though ill ask my parents if this guy is still alive!!!!!
He probably got ripped off by the lawyers and record company and died broke, srtung out on drugs like most of them do.
If he's till alive, he's probably a janitor somewhere. Late at night while he's mopping some office building the remake of his song comes on and he starts to cry for what could have been...
The reality, the rich got richer and he was tossed aside.
Naw actually he is touring around the country performing that very song. He also gets royalties from artist like Missy, and Snoop Dogg for using the words he created.
This poor guy got ripped off by that cocaine crazy doctor and his damn nurses who said nothing. Let all of em rot in federal prison and let Frankie enjoy his millions that are rightly his. You go boy!!!
ok, soccer, go to hell, this is so mu8ch better, raven sux, i saw ehr video and cried, i didnt realize how bad u kuld kill a song till she started to sing.
y'all is some fuckin haters i grew up on this song it was the shit raven just remade it but its going always be a classic it just goes to show u how these young thugs are making money ofof of old school jams!!!!!!!!!!!

ok STOP JUDGING RAVEN AND FRANKIE!! It is so stupid! everyone has their own opinions. I for one like ravens better, but i am not saying that everyone HAS to like raven.
My daughter and I started off our ride everyday with song. I just found out after all these years that I met you in your block,My son Harvey( Unfortunately he's deceased) use to hang on that block with his friends. I lived around the corner from you for years. I never knew that you were Frankie Smith The Double Dutch Bus man. This is a song that will never go out of play. I saw the new video with your daughter,and I know this will be a big seller again,so put it out there brother.
Yeah thats him.....he was on a show I did in Norristown, PA back during the summertime. He was touring the country doing a "Put the Guns Down" movemement.
You are so right. This musical style is absolutely a winner, and so it must be the performer. Althyough, there is a Mexican saying--"El que es perico, donde quiera es verde". Now what does that mean? Parrots anyplace they might be found, are always green. In other words, guys like this man, can do just as good perfrorming in the best spots in Las Vegas, as they can do it right out on the streets.
What a wonderful ryth to shake your butt out! I really enjoy very much this kind of beat-it actually beats up stress when you hear it and get to dance along. What a wonderful era-I certainly hope that will stay forever--I am pretty sure it will-it´s got a lot of pep and flavor. Juan.
