Artist:Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers
Song:I Want You to Be My Girl
Album:The Doo Wop Box
Frankie Lymon died of a drug overdose at age 26 in 1968 but he was still an influential figure in pop music history. First, he was the first teenage popstar. Second, his music was very influential on the Motown sound and more specifically The Jackson Five. Lymon's personal demons and record company problems destroyed his life. The Doo Wop Box is a 4CD box set issued by Rhino in 1994 and is probably the definitive comp for just about every doo wop song from the 50s. Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers were only around for a year and a half in the 50s but their music is still fresh today
