[@biancagerman9808]

Such A Beautiful, Velvety Voice!!! I Just Love Him!!❤💕❤️

[@davewallace8219]

Frankie...thanks...wish you were still here...with us!

[@quitopolodown9745]

I never heard of Frankie lymon, or The teenagers until today. I was searching for 50s music/ideas for Halloween and came across all of his music. Wow...your generation had the BEST music. I'm a new instant fan of him and the group!

[@CJOE4INS]

I have been listening to Frankie Lymons's voice for about 53 years, and it still amazes me...... I found a 6 CD set thru one of my record collector catalogs about 5-6 years ago that had all thes Paladium songs on it, what a discovery. My favorite " Out in the Cold Again, was his, AND the Teenagers best...Frankie Lymon, a talent never surpassed...

[@jacqueline2027]

Wow......... that Somewhere over the Rainbow is the BEST I ever heard it sang in my entire life...makes me want to cry, its so beautiful....RIP Frankie....

[@breeanainwonderland8859]

It has already made me cry

[@NeveahMusic]

@jacqueline2027 Some great unreleased recordings before his voice began to change but check out on KZbin- Nancy Wilson's "Don't Take Your Love From Me"and Eva Cassidy's take on "Over the Rainbow"-Enjoy

[@barbrajones489]

this is so beatiful -his voice is so sophisticated and so childlike at the same time. such emotion in each note.

[@Kstretch271]

Frankie lymon the best.

[@Maridun50]

I think he is over the rainbow now - sitting on a cloud with Judy Garland - singing this as a duet! Heavenly!

[@johnnyace1954]

This was wonderful!! I had never heard any of these before. Why on earth were they not released? His singing is superb!

[@wilbertjames7937]

By far the best vocal ,ever during that era. ..wow unbelievable range.

[@DishiontheRoll]

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Frankie Lymon. I’m a lifetime fan, I am so grateful to have discovered him. Thank you Frankie Lymon for existing 🥲

[@msprissy3674]

Im glad my parents had a chance to hear about him...he was 3 years older than my father and 4 years older than my mother. It funny how he was so energetic before he went solo...how can anyone introduce drugs to a 15 year old ....I love Frankies voice....he was truly gifted!!!!

[@kennykarlsson6691]

What a beautiful voice he had. Makes me so sad that he never reach his full potential. True talent.

[@augustuscaesar7846]

I am always captivated by Lymons voice. I had one of his & the teenagers "best of albums", the year was 2006 & I was then 16 & I listened to that album a great bit. Fine singing. To have found these songs that were unknown to me is a true blessing. Lymons voice is so clear & superb; pitch perfect.

[@michaelteixeira6226]

I was listening to F. L. In the late 50 's as I was born in 1942, I am now 76 & I am still listening. What a wonderful voice. R.i.P. F.M .T . !!!!!!

Omg he was so blessed, I love his music n angelic voice, he shared his gift for the time god allowed him to be on this earth n of this cruel world, so many great singers passed tragically sam Cooke billy Holliday n many others. I am a 70's baby but always was drawn to fifties music.

[@ovo_brice766]

😢his voice is like a dream

[@jessiedoggie1]

I've been a Frankie Lymon fan since I first heard the Teenagers sing "Why do Fools Fall in Love" on a thumping Wurlitzer juke box at the corner of Avenue K and Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn in the fall of 1955 when I was an eight grader at PS 99. I saw them at the Brooklyn Paramount and Brooklyn Fox at Alan Freed's shows along with the Cleftones, Flamingos, Heartbeats, Valentines, etc. I wish all of you could have had that same experience, but at least we all can enjoy his incredible talent today. I remember playing his records on my scratchy 78 rpm player back then, and with the fidelity so much better today, can enjoy them even more.

[@robertmusacchio9409]

I knew that candy store just a couple of years later, I wish I had been perceptive enough to 'follow' that jukebox to the Paramount then and see Frankie live. You're a lucky man.

[@Aurla-R2-D2]

you grew up to fast Frankie but you left us this beautiful music that only you could sing,people miss you all over the world & specially at home your voice was flawless.love is universal it is what really life is all about but people do not are busy hating.

[@joeyt46]

he was the best STEPHEN THANKS

[@tyronesmith8250]

I would have love to have heard him with Count Basie, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughn, Quincy Jones, Gil Evans and so many others he could have collabarated with if his management would have helped his career better. It seems they were more concerned about keeping their pockets full and filling him up with drugs which ultimately killed him. He was one of the greatest singers to have ever lived and always will be!

[@quitopolodown9745]

Love it...thank you for sharing such great music...He had a beautiful voice..

Frankie way ahead of his time. heroin ruined his life...

[@portialwalker7396]

THAT DAMN HEROIN RUINED HIS LIFE I GOT NOTHING TO SAY TO HEROIN 😒😬😦

[@joecobb7276]

Unfortunately, most people don't seem to know what ethnic group was responsible for bringing heroin into the US. You should read about the history of the Roosevelt family. I can't recall, off hand, the name of the newspaper reporter who, during the1950s, reported that the Roosevelt family became wealthy by importing and selling heroin -- not only in the US -- but, I believe he wrote, also in other parts of the world: like in China. The Roosevelts are Jews from Holland.

[@harukasaigusa8906]

[@chairlesnicol672]

Nine Clique well back then In the early sixties I highly doubt it really was a beautiful world for him anyways No job no income just getting high and hurting pol who loved him !

[@KieranSaighir]

Just a little info note: Frankie's younger brother Louie was probably just as talented, only Frankie was first and had a more professional team guiding him. I'm guessing there are 45s of Louie Lyman and the Teenchords here on KZbin, for any who care.

[@str8offthamf]

frankie was levels above him but they sound alike

[@ajg2558]

Wow!!!

[@NathanThePrezPretlow]

.Frankie should never left the Teenagers.And kelp singing songs that his teenagers fan base could relate to. Instead the producers try to make Frankie Lymon a little Nat King Cole singing more adult ballad songs which the youth of the 50's was not into.They wanted Rock & Roll songs.Plus Frankie Lymon drug use didn't help either..But hearing these songs today do sound good.But the money hungry producers should of let Frankie Lymon grow into more adult songs as his voice got deeper and older.

[@JustMatty80]

I'd have to agree with everything you said. Who do you think was a better all around singer, Teenagers era Frankie Lymon or Jackson 5 Michael Jackson? Thanks!

[@NathanThePrezPretlow]

JustMatty80 Frankie Lymon and Michael Jackson both in there own era had great singing voice.But Mike singing voice was better because of the singing material he had.And on top of that he lasted longer than Frankie.But let us not forget it was a Frankie Lymon who pave the way for every teenage singer who came after him.

[@abdielsanchez5468]

I m soo sad now :'l

[@junef3444]

This is graet but i haz 1question why wer these not releasd?

[@JustMatty80]

This is a fantastic collection. I just had the thought, could a young Michael Jackson have covered these songs? The case can be made that he would've been close because well--in my view, he sang some of the Delfonics songs just as good if not better than Pugee like Can you remember, and Ready or Not, BUT--- Would young Michael even belong in the same room as Frankie Lymon? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this one.. Listening to more and more of Frankie, I am beginning to think Frankie was better, but I am not 100% on that yet. I hear a little Nat King Cole in his voice too, just at a different pitch. Anyways.. So who had better vocals? ...young Michael Jackson or Frankie Lymon?

[@augustuscaesar7846]

To participate in your question..........I am a listner of both their music & I have albums from both of them. Nevertheless, young Michael compared to a young Franky Lymon. Though there are a fare similarity in there adolescent voices. I would have to put my money on Frankie. Franky's range & crispy eloquence puts him at least 3-4 hairs above the vocals of a young Mike.

[@JustMatty80]

I agree. Michael was amazing, but Frankie was probably a better singer. The Jackson 5 was based on Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

[@itsthejerseygirl]

Frankie hands down! I like Michael Jackson, but Frankie is the original “Little Dynamo” FOREVER and ALWAYS!!! No one comes close or compares to him...period!!! 💕

[@Kstretch271]

Whose the Guy on The Left. Is it one of The Everly Brothers. I'm sorry but I think that every single Boy Band or even K Pop Group should look at his Clips and think this was genuine talent.

[@wblk]

Why did they break up the teenagers then take Frankie, a teenage Idol famous for rock and roll and dance to give him these adult contemporary standard's Nat King Cole type songs to sing. This is why they couldn't get him off the ground once he left the teenagers. As nice as the songs are he should have stuck to his roots with the teenagers played it out till the end.
