All About Me—Frankie Avalon

I was born September 18, 1939. Even ’way back then, I liked sweaters!

Wow, look at Charles Atlas. The folks always took Teresa and me to Atlantic City.

Me, in the first grade at St. Edmund’s.

Guess I was eleven here. Before I got that trumpet, I was going to be a boxer.

The boys let me “sit in” till I got my own band.

Mom and I think Dad looks a lot like Guy Lombardo. (Dad has the mustache.) I was on Guy’s show.

Dad’s always helped me—whether it’s music or motors.

I first sang with Rocco and His Saints. Can you spot me?

We have a new house, but it’s in the good old neighborhood.

Sure wish Fabian and I had more time these days for sharing a soda and gabbing.

Here’s me—today!
