Frankie Avalon has a great voice . . . his “Venus” still is a standard for pop songs. As is said, it's a classic that really has no age.

I met him. He is a gentleman and a great talent who got good looks working against him. He was much more than just a cute guy. He has made a life out of music. Under rated as a musician by music business. This man is a real musical legend! Who cares what he looks like. He is a legendary musician, a gent and a great all round entertainer!

Wow! Frankie Avalon still looks great for his age. He hasn’t changed a bit. Good looking and his hair still therefrom the time he was 19 years old in 1959. Venus was very famous back home . I was teen ager during that time. This song Venus is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing… ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👏.

I never knew he wanted to be a trumpet player. I heard him play the trumpet in Bermuda at the Southampton Princess. He was a great player. Yes, Philadelphia has produced so many great singers, directors, etc. I agree that Philadelphia has so much to offer-great museums, fine theaters, wonderful restaurants and stores, the Kimmel Cultural Center, renowned universities and hospitals.

Remember when Frankie Avalon used to do the Sonic commercials now I had a friend of mine that was a manager of a Sonic that they were filming at and he went to different locations but my friend I won't name is name was the manager of the Sonic were Frankie Avalon was going to shoot his commercial and he didn't have nice things to say about Frankie Avalon you know what you see on camera isn't always what you see off so that's all I'll say
@Luvparis073 жыл бұрын
I agree. He may be talented but some celebrities you meet in in person aren't always what appear to be when the cameras are rolling. My friends met him at some social function one evening and they also didn't have anything nice to say about him. They felt him to be arrogant and rude.
