Mary Jane, Squirrel Nut, Almond Joy, Jawbreakers, Good & Plenty, Boston Baked Beans, Zero Bars, etc. He would of never discuss his drug problem with people, in fact no one knew he was on drugs until the signs started to show.

He was smoking marijuana, though, by his own admission in an interview article in Ebony Magazine in 1967 he had been smoking marijuana since he was in junior high school, which means he would have been 13/14 years old, about the same age when this 1956 interview was held.

I swear some of you need to do your research a little better. He wasn't using drugs at that point in his career. After he went solo that's when he got exposed to heroine.

You're wrong. In his January 1967 interview with Ebony Magazine, Frankie said that he started smoking weed around 8 years old and was pimping girls by age 10. Understandable if you don't think he was speaking "Jive Talk" in this clip but to say he wasn't using anything at that point or that I haven't researched is wrong.

They robbed that kid/man so bad back then I remember he had sold out his record but when he performed for the first time people booed him because they didn’t know he was a black man 😞 by the time it was ok for African Americans to get praised and reputation it was too late Frankie had already died and he was so young poor guy may his soul be at peace and singing with the angels in heaven
