I'll Wait For You FRANKIE AVALON (with lyrics)

Frankie Avalon was one of those US Fifties teen idols we really missed out on here in Britain, where he only scored four minor chart hits (compared with 24 US hits!) Here's a single from 1958. It was released as a b-side to "What Little Girl", but whereas the a-side peaked at a disappointing #78 on the Billboard chart, this side went all the way to #15 and was included in the Billboard Top 100 songs of 1958. (The girl in the video is Rachel Stevens of S Club 7 who I loved!)

As you say Frankie was overlooked here . Pity, people missed out on a lot of great songs like this one. Thanks Victor

Many years ago, I was invited to start hosting the local weekly pub pop quiz. No-one had ever heard of Frankie Avalon!

Always great to hear a Frankie Avalon tune, Victor. Thanks so much for this one! Late 50's early 60's were full of great songs like this. Love it!
