Frankie Avalon (born Francis Thomas Avallone, September 18, 1940 is an American actor, singer, playwright, and former teen idol.
Avalon was born in Philadelphia, the son of Mary and Nicholas Avallone. He was on U.S. television playing his trumpet by the time he was 11, performing on such programs as The Jackie Gleason Show. Two singles showcasing Avalon's trumpet playing were issued on RCA Victor's "X" sublabel in 1954. As a teenager he played with Bobby Rydell in Rocco and the Saints. In 1959, "Venus" (5 weeks #1) and "Why" went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. "Why" was the last #1 of the 1950s. Avalon had 31 charted U.S. Billboard singles from 1958 to late 1962, including "Just Ask Your Heart" (U.S. #7), "I'll Wait for You" (U.S. #15), "Bobby Sox to Stockings" (U.S. #8), and "A Boy Without a Girl" (U.S. #10). Most of his hits were written and/or produced by Bob Marcucci, head of Chancellor Records. He was less popular in the U.K., but did still manage four chart hits with "Why", "Ginger Bread", "Venus" and "Don't Throw Away All Those Teardrops".

Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon - Because You're You
Discussing Frankie Avalon's career as a mover and shaker in 1950s rock & roll with anyone who takes their rock & roll even halfway seriously is to court derision. Avalon was the first of the manufactured teen idols, before Fabian and Bobby Rydell and the myriad of other pretenders to the throne who worked the turf with tight black pants and red, red sweaters to the fore while Elvis cooled his heels in Germany. In the late '50s and early '60s, post-Twist and pre-Beatles, these generally untalented pretty boys were the cardboard no-threat remnants of a post-Elvis age. But Avalon had a real musical background to go with the pretty boy looks, and was no drugstore teenager waiting to be discovered. Born in South Philadelphia in 1939 as Francis Thomas Avallone, he broke into show business as a c...

"Love It Away", an original composition, is the title track from Donna Loren's new CD. She recorded in Hawaii at Lava Tracks Studio with Grammy-Award winner Charles Michael Brotman.

She was signed to a long-term contract with the soft-drink company to sing all television and radio commercials, do all magazine and billboard advertising representing them in every capacity, sometimes sharing the spotlight with American Bandstand's Dick Clark.

Download this song at: http://www.DonnaLoren.net - Donna Loren, with guitarist Drew Saber and engineer Maurice Gainen, renovates and rejuvenates her signature song "It Only Hurts When I Cry" into a sultry, grown-up 21st century pop tune. Originally performed by Donna as a teenager in the 1965 AIP film "Beach Blanket Bingo" and again recorded for the LP of the same name, she has now reinterpreted the song as an adult, with style and intimacy; it sounds like a classic now. The song was written by Guy Hemric and Jerry Styner. It was arranged and produced by Donna Loren. Video was produced, directed and edited by Jeffrey Abelson in late July 2009.

One highlight of this show is Groucho singing a duet with Frankie Avalon of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", getting in a few more impromptu dance moves before the series wraps up. But for die-hard Marx Bros fans, the real highlight is in round two: a brief glimpse of Harry Ruby, one of the key writers of the Marx Bros movies in their heyday, and a lifelong friend of Groucho's. He doesn't get to say a whole hellof a lot, but it's nice to see him anyway. COUPLE #1: Frankie Avalon / Joyce DeHardt, Miss Junior Achievement.
