Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers - Complete Recordings [1994] (5xCD's)
FRANKIE LYMON & THE TEENAGERS
Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers - Complete Recordings [1994] (5xCD's)
All are familiar with the Teenagers early works, and though there is considerable speculation about who actually penned their first hit ("Why Do Fools Fall in Love"), it was clear early on that the star of this group was Frankie Lymon...unquestionably. Much like Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and even Steve Perry; they may not have been founding members of their respective groups, but were the marketable focal points nonetheless. This may be the most comprehensive collection of the works of Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers ever released, and it contains literally ALL the hits and flops of Frankie and the Teenagers (including the Frankie-less "Flip Flop"). It saddens me to think of the lost potential that could have been realized had Frankie lived on, and this is where Discs 4 and 5 are so critical. These discs in particular are the indicators of what could have been. On tracks like "Change Partners", "Teacher, Teacher", and and "Somewhere", it is clear Frankie has an understanding of a lyric and gives a smooth delivery on pop standards; and could easily have given Sam Cooke or Marvin Gaye a run for their money on the R&B grooves. Don't wait on this one...I may even get two!!! (Amazon)
