| Frank Joseph "Frankie" Lymon (September 30, 1942 – February 27, 1968)
was an African-American rock and roll/Rhythm and blues singer, best known as the boy soprano lead singer
of a New York City-based early rock and roll group called The Teenagers.
The group included five boys, all in their early to mid teens.
The original lineup of the Teenagers, an integrated group, included three African-American members, Frankie Lymon,
Jimmy Merchant and Sherman Garnes, and two Puerto Rican members, Herman Santiago and Joe Negroni.
The Teenagers' first single, 1956's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest.
After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and those of the Teenagers fell into decline.
Lymon eventually fell into heroin addiction, and died in 1968 at the age of 25. Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers.
