[yellyyow]

the movie focused more on his relationships with the women not so much him personally

[thatlovelychile]

well actually it kinda was...

the movie was a story of an artist victimized by the record business.a musician destroyed by drugs an a man whos relationships with women was nothing like the charming fantasy he implied on-stage.

it wuz about how hes success brought around his failure!which wuz the conclusion to his life story!hes career wuz basically over when he wuz 18..and he passed away at 25!

so the movie migt have not brought out the postive...but it was what pretty much happened!

[33colleen]

the movie only based part on his singing career, frankie made many more songs, I wanted the movie to show how he lived like homes he bought and what he did with his money during his success, his contracts and who he had mentoring him with his career even when it was going down the tube, his family, how they helped him or treated him, but the movie only showed about the numerous women he had rather than showing what kind of person frankie was.

[charlenemonique1]

Every time the subject is about a person of color it has to be brought up. I guess that even after all this time ,it will never stop and always matter.

[MsTruthFinder101]

Goodness! That first photo of Lewis looks really bad! Poor guy :(

[socratesrocks]

Were all human in the end regardless of colour of skin or religion. Look at what bill gates wife is doing I find that absolutely amazing does it matter about there nationality or colour of skin. No.

[TheKOFFINKING]

Only thing i don't agree with the "race music" part was that it was intentionally labeled that to educate black people. Even music that early on especially in the south, ethnicities of all including whites and blacks growing up together,participated in the same type of music, worked, played together etc... but i mean, if this is his view that that's cool.

[MyREDTAIL]

@Kuisert The guy all the way to the right is Freddie Navarro I think I use to work with him when I was in grammar school in May's dept store in Brooklyn growing up. He was a Terriffic guy & a good friend back then, He worked there in between singing with the Teenagers

@akebefrontiere I think justin bieber will end like this ^^...no dissrespect I personally think frankie lymon is soooo much better than that little piece of shit today justin.

[akebefrontiere]

Very true because he was certainly a nice guy before the music and success and it certainly changed as suddenly he could do things he couldn't before just sad that he decided to shoot some drugs into his body and didn't decide to do something constructive like maybe learn how to be a producer or something.

I read someone say that it was a woman fault because she showed him about drugs but it was going to happen no matter what i think something are just meant to happen.
