Of course he had no musical talent. This was the days of the "teen idol" phase. Looks counted for everything. It would be great if you had a voice, but that could be faked. Looks couldn't. Check out the stars of 1959-they are all adorable. Not many could actually sing. BTW-he gets paid for entertaining...and he does that!

Fabian was one of the true greats of High School Pop.Unlike all of his contemporaries he had no background in music and just went along with it.

The fact that he's a survivor speaks for itself.

As a singer he never pretended to be other than what he was.

Many of the songs he did were written by Elvis writers including a failed black singer Ollie Jones who wrote Tiger.

Rock critics don't like Fabian but I don't like rock critics

I like FABIAN, but sorry, he couldn't sing to save his life. He did better with acting, in fact, he was more impressive as an actor than some of his peers.  There were teen idols of the day who also weren't tremendous singers, that's true, but FABIAN really couldn't sing and I really don't mean that unkindly, it's just a fact. He could sort of "get by" with a fast tune, but if it was ballad there would be no way he could get through it.

Again you are dead wrong. Millions of teenagers who bought their records proved that fact. You can't enjoy that kind of success and not have talent. or a voice. A voice by the way that is still performing to large audiences across the country. Perhaps those seeing his shows today are also naive and don't realize they're paying money to see someone with no talent or a voice. I would suggest you are completely out of touch.

[bobby cochran]

They all were incredibly talented and there was no problems with their voices.

Definetly not my favorite by Fabian!, but it certainly fits in nicely with anything else your jiving too that hails from the Doowop era. This is definetly not sounding any bit like the original, as I'm all too familiar with that Tiger that hit the top spot on the Fabulous Forty back in 1959. Thx4 postin'

At least unlike today's teen idols, they had producers and arrangers back then that at least knew how to make decent records even with substandard singers...and he wasn't great, admittedly, but Fabian at least gave it his best
