1939

Any other fans of Frankie Lymon on the forum? Not many will of heard of him as he died so young. :(

He was similar to Michael Jackson in terms of being a star at such a young age. And just like MJ he had a distinctive voice:



On lead vocals.

Love the above song. A lot will probably be more familiar with Diana Ross' version.

1956

I might have posted this song before, because it was very familiar, but I was not aware of his name, nor he died so young. He could have become a big star! It is similar to Michael Jackson's voice.



1981
This is the first time I heard Diana Ross's version just now.

1967

1959

Unfortunately after his voice broke nobody wanted to take him on. Yet he still had a good voice.

What the contrast between Michael Jackson.:(

1975

The Jackson 5 also sung this song, however Michael wasn't primarily singing throughout. It was shared around. I wish Michael had sung it primarily. I'd of loved to of heard his singing of the song compared to Frankie Lymon.



1:16 is when Michael comes in. He just blows his brothers out the water. Such a talent. Gone too soon. :(
