I happen to find Frankie Lymon,s grave site. He's buried in Saint Raymond,s Cemetery, in Queens, New york. I loved his music through the years, and at age 77 years old I still play his songs.

A one hit wonder 😂

Gifted Soul & Precious Man~ RIP Frankie~You did the very best you could ! Love, Light & Hugs {beautiful boy) 🥰😇☀️🤩🦋

It's a heart-wrenching story for such a talented young man. 🙏☮️💖

just watched his performance of “ little bitty pretty one “ and that crowd was awful he and alot of african americans shouldn’t have had to deal with that but he killed that performance despite it all.

Frankie Lymon's death is the responsibility of Morris Levy ✡️

whats the noise in the background?

❤❤❤❤

Please, why do you make it sound as if Frankie is to blame for his downfall? He was just 13 years old.... A KID, that was taken advantage of by CONNIVING LOWDOWN Deceitful white European Men. What does a 13 year old Kid know about any type of BUSINESS or how to deal with all the FAME and Fortune? If Levy and all those other EVIL crooks really cared about him as a PERSON, as a HUMAN, and not as a MONEY TREE, Frankie would NOT have fallen to the streets and of DRUG use.... RIP Frankie!!! 🙏

This another AI TTS channel?

This documentary makes it seem that for many years, all the listeners assumed that Frankie Lymon was white. That's simply not correct. That may have been the case in the very beginning when they first came out. But my dad and mom (both Italian) grew up in the 50's and 60's in an Italian neighborhood, and they said that everybody back then knew Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers were black. They had been in movies, on television, on album covers, and performed at rock & roll concerts everywhere. Even in the movie "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" there's a scene showing white people in a diner easily recognizing Little Richard, Frankie Lymon, etc. Not that I'm denying that there was tremendous racism in some parts of the USA back then. But there seems to be this false narrative nowadays that rock & roll fans only liked Frankie and the Teenagers because they thought they were white and were later stunned that they actually were black. That's total BS. Nearly all the fans knew these guys were black, just as they knew many of the early rock & roll and doo-wop groups were black. White people listening to black R&B music on typically white stations is a big reason why the music became so big!

Someone was jealous of him and fed him drugs at age of 15 how wrong Might of been a racist white

Wow i didnt know about skin-popping 😮

george goldner hm

Def not a "rockstar", but he was a badass.

He was molested so much that he spoke of it like it was nothing 😢 6:55

this is one of the saddest stories ive ever heard of a child star i can't imagine being a child and having a drug addiction i don't understand why nobody tried to get him any help

Over developed kid become undeveloped adults

Listen to His Version of "SILOUETTES ON THE SHADE" It's Phenomenal. 🎶

I really dont know why artiste after him never learned from his mistake

He lived his life as an adult at a young age..

R.I.P Frankie 🙏🏿

He actually did record two songs right before he died. "Seabreze" and "I'm Sorry." He overdosed celebrating these recordings the next day.

great movie sad story

Rest in Peace ✌ Frankie 😢

So teenage star from the rough side of the tracks Major star in America Signed to a bunch of sleazy creeps Opioid addiction Basically r***d by older women Am I the only one seeing Wayne Parallels. Like dude was a more tragic Lil Wayne

He should have stayed in church.

Don't think he actually "lost" his voice. He could still sing, just in a deeper vocal range.

I’m so mad at the way “The Biz” treated this young man… they built him up just to drop him like a bad habit!!! Shit like this still goes on in entertainment.. just sad and tragic 🙏🏾

This poor kid had it hard growing up then to pass at 25 you can see that the white girls really couldn’t show that they loved his music because racism was so bad

WOW. Major league dick for eternity ✝️

Yeah , he was with grandmas

Frankie Lymon: The Bobby Brown of the mid-20th century.

Not only Frankie but Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, David Ruffin, Sam Cook who was murdered, and many others also sucommed to drugs and alcohol. Luckily Al Green, Ray Charles, Little Richard returned to Jesus Christ and were able to defeat their drug addictions. God bless them. Evangelist Roger Mansour

I can't help but SCREAM!! This WAS A LITTLE 13 YEAR OLD CHILD WHERE WERE HIS PARENTS?????? They themselves were Musicians which means that they Knew & Understood just how bad & cruel that kind of life is surely they Understood how evil & wicked people in that line of work can be. So many times when i hear his story there's none or very little mentioning of his parents in his life... He was only 13 they should've been there or somewhere around, it's just sad so so sad every time i hear his story... He was only 13. 😢😭

The mob killed Frankie

EWWW!!! Nooo! I can’t fathom grown women messing with children! Love his music, but I’m sorry. Those women are predators, just the ones that messed with teenage Usher! 🚩👀💅🏾🤦🏾‍♀️

Get right Frankie didn't die in 58

I from DA.BRONX and I grew up with doo wop and Frankie lymon loved the music he would have been great

So the label was called big Apple records. With a picture of a banana?

Speechless

WOW

White men cheating on their suburban wives with black women. Huh?

You forgot New Edition , New Kids On The Block legendary groups

This really reminds of the line from low spark of high heeled boys "The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams" Really sucks how many musicians write awesome songs and end up with nothing :(

A cording to Deon him and Frankie used to cop dope Deon. Surprisingly survived and poor Frankie didn't make it he was one of the best singers of my generation

Why is every girl chewing gum!?? Lol

So in other words the women in his life were Sexual Predators 🤷🏽‍♂️ He was jus 14-15 years old and these women were 25-27 years old 🤷🏽‍♂️ Are we just going to ignore this like they weren’t Pedo’s🤷🏽‍♂️

As you can see ALL need God, Yes God. Think of what could have been different.

He was born in the wrong era.
