Biography

American pioneering doo-wop group, formed in 1954 in Harlem, New York, renowned for their youthful lineup and the distinctive voice of 13-year-old lead singer [a=Frankie Lymon]. Their debut single, "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," released in 1956, became a significant hit, reaching number one on the R&B charts and number six on the pop charts in the U.S., and topping the charts in the UK. Following this success, the group produced several other hits, including "I Want You to Be My Girl," "I Promise to Remember," and "The ABC's of Love." Their popularity led to appearances in films like "Rock, Rock, Rock" (1956) and "Mister Rock and Roll" (1957). In 1957, tensions arose when the group was rebranded as "Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers," leading to Lymon's departure for a solo career. Unfortunately, his solo endeavors did not achieve the same success, and he struggled with heroin addiction, passing away from an overdose in 1968 at the age of 25. The Teenagers attempted to continue with new lead singers but were unable to replicate their earlier success. In recognition of their contributions to music, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. For the group without Frankie Lymon, see [a=The Teenagers].
