Harlem boy Frankie Lymon was just thirteen when, in 1956, his band The Teenagers
hit the charts with Why Do Fools Fall In Love. Other hits followed, including "I
Want You To Be My Girl". Frankie left the group in 1957 to record the solo album
Rock'n'Roll With Frankie Lymon, and appeared in films and on television. The
change in his voice shattered his career. A drug addict, he was hospitalized in
1961 and died of an overdose at the age of 25.
