[@zippgunn1680]

Even heroin could not kill his voice! Rare Talent!

Sad story I am 77 yrs old and Hearing this for the second time. He was so genuine I am in a nursing home and This was so good and then he Got on drugs. That evil stuff

[@660bud]

What got him hooked again his neighborhood or friends

[@660bud]

[@660bud]

It is sad. Did his family have Anything to do with i Where did he live abd where was he born

[@donnalynch6845]

I like him,I don't care about what he did and didn't do , he's my favorite Singer (One Of Them 😊👌🤗)

[@joyce8510]

Since the entertainment industry is dodgy to say the least, I am not convinced that his death was a simple overdose. The syringe next to the body is too obvious and apparently there was no autopsy.

[@trurp8929]

Whites in the crowd didn't know how to react

[@johnthrussell1377]

Great voiceallways be rememberd

[@anthonyoduro606]

My question is, do we own the rights to this song why do fools fall in love?

[@anitapablos6695]

What do you mean. Gone to soon You seen his drug use. Those demons. I wk fucks anybody that fucks with my family you hear me

[@reglook1]

There was no video tape in 1957

EMMA LYMON - My 7th grade teacher at W.S. Hornsby Elementary School, Augusta, Georgia. She was the prettiest and most sophisticated teacher around! I loved her. She was deemed His legal wife after several years of legal juris.

[@diablo666541]

Sas thing about frankie is that he thought doo wop was going last forever and it didnt. By 60s he was almost broke n hooked on heroin .stealing from stores n what freinds he had left. The movie tby made bout was bout worst thing ever made. Portrayed him as a miltary hero when the fact was he awol n dishonorably discharged n also draining zola taylor bank account n let her home go to foreclosure hints that he was an irresponsible. As he got older he then begins lose his voice due to drugs he was gone

[@yelina1137]

It sucks. He should’ve never left the teenagers, I feel like they were his true family and he needed them deep down.

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

A whole show was canceled because, Lymon danced with a white girl. Man America you are sick!! This man started out great then crashed. Sad story.

[@lisal8984]

Why do fools fall for drugs???

[@ericastoll7568]

great talent he is gone to soon.

[@MrVOODOO76]

So he died a dumbass. Good job Frankie.

[@shaheedturner3652]

I love this great video of one of the greatest rock and roll singers of all time is Frankie Lymon he made some great songs from back in the day like unforgettable classics Why Do Fools Fall In Love I used to have the movie on videocassette it was a good movie Larenz Tate was excellent in the film!!! It was a shame that he died so young of a drug overdose at 26 years old in 1968. Sometimes being a singer and a musician is really tough in the music industry like being on drugs, alcohol, spending money and you lose everything like your house and all your prized possessions too!!!! Being a singer leaves you broke with nobody else to turn to!!!! Thanks so much for posting this video I love it!!! R.I.P. Frankie Lymon you are now in musical heaven!!!👼👼👼👼👼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Correction: He was 25 not 26

I went to the same junior high school as Frankie (Stitt JHS 164) in the mid-1960's and one of my teacher's used Frankie's downfall as a warning to us to steer clear of drugs. I saw a lot of lives destroyed by heroin.

I'm not from the Doo Wop era but I really enjoy the singers and songs.... I guess because my older siblings listened to the oldies....

[@Qibilii]

Watch "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", that movies is all about Frankie's tragic life.

[@diablo666541]

Movies sucked they portrayed him as army hero fact was he went awol n dishonorably discharged. He was nothing more than doo wop. Singer. N couldnt get any further Patty went into producing like some musicians do you would have probably made it

[@lisafrizzell1252]

So sad he lived such a short life

[@robertjuliano7968]

The one and frankie lymon and the teenagers there will never ever be another frankie lymon what a voice it.s unreal the powerful voice I love him and they music all I can say is rest in peace frankie and thank you for all of the great doo..wopp. you left all to enjoy the greatest doo.wopp group of all times frankie lymon and the teenagers love you all

[@elizabethwashington9168]

No one knows his cause of death...there was no autopsy and just because the needle was found near him does not mean he used it...people should stop spreading this rumor...He was probably murdered...this poor child was taken advantage of and not protected...so sad...rest on Frankie only you and God know the truth!

Why Do Fools Fall In Love Is Nice❤️

[@CenteRia09]

He grew up. He went from being a cute boy to being a man. He had a great adult voice and the women loved him. There's no doubt that if he'd stop doing the drugs and really focused on his career also with a great support system. He could have made a big come back. But even though he's deceased his music and legacy still lives on. I went into two stores this week and guess what I heard? They were playing Frankie Lymons songs.

[@cathybess1297]

Sad he died so young.

[@ricmarquez7726]

Frankie wasn't ready to be a solo act to have the manger push him is what killed him besides the drugs. It was sad to see Frankie on that show with his teeth missing they just embarrassed him. Love you Frankie
