5.0 out of 5 stars These recordings of Frankie Lymon are quite excellent!!!, September 24, 1999

These recordings display the vocal range of Frankie Lymon from his first hit recording "Why do Fools fall in Love" to songs when his voice changed as in "Change Partners". Frankie Lymon was unbelievably talented and possessed the ability to know how to sing songs with the correct tempo and change. You must get this CD Set.

I grew up during this era. Frankie was a natural. I still cannot figure out why with all that God given talent and his personalaity he got himself hooked on drugs. What a waste of talent. I wish he were here today. Who knows how far he could have gone.
