@1959passions Wow! Frankie played the trumpet too? I wish I was alive during the years when Frankie was alive. I would give anything to be able to go back in time and meet him. You were very fortunate

If there's one thing after all these years it's the Oldies, which will never die. I have about seven of my songs on Youtube,(cover) which I did by other performers had in the past. If you go on to Youtube, and search a song call Mr. Blue, that was done by the Feetwood's in the 1950s the photo you see on my page is the photo I use from my songs on Youtube. Thank you.

To think that I was listening to Frankie Lymon, when he first started over 50 years ago. That goes to show how old I am. We lost a great talent who was taken advantage of by produces record label companies, and God,knows who else took his money. But two years ago just by luck I found the headstone of Frankie Lymon's grave. Also I found the grave of the great Billie Holiday, who's buried with her mother. Their graves are in Saint Raymond's cemetery in the Bronx.

I can remember going to the knock knock club on 85th & I believe 18th. ave in Brooklyn, 1961 with Tony (Punchie) Armato, Albee Galione, to see Frankie perform...Until this day I recall him blowing us away!!! He danced - sang - played drums and played trumpet...The best entertainment ever. After his show he came and sat with us (the Passions) We spoke for a while...That is a moment that will live on in my memory...Lou

Thanks for posting!!
These groups were swimming with the sharks from the get-go....shady recording deals, shady publishing deals, little or no royalties. Too bad.
