Step back in time with me, your host Harriet West-Moore, as we trace the remarkable journey of Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers from humble beginnings to rock 'n' roll legends. Our episode unfolds the story of these young talents, who started as the Earth Angels and soared to stardom, changing their name and the musical landscape along the way. Discover an unexpected twist that propelled Frankie to the forefront and how their hit "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" became an anthem that broke through racial barriers and bridged the R&B and pop charts, setting the stage for music's evolution.
As we celebrate the group's meteoric rise, we won't shy away from the tumultuous times that followed. The spotlight on Frankie's solo career illuminates a tale of struggle and change, highlighting the fickleness of fame and the Teenagers' quest to maintain their success. Their story is a poignant reminder of the era's racial tensions, yet their influence on bands like the Jackson 5 and the Beach Boys speaks volumes about their enduring legacy. Join me for an episode filled with harmony, heartbreak, and a toast to the indelible mark left by these pioneers of doo-wop.
