Frankie Avalon went from 50’s teen idol to national and international star. This talented performer, who broke into show business as a child prodigy trumpet player, can look back on a career that spans three generations of music, television, and motion pictures. One of his first songs “De De Dinah” became a Top Ten hit and his recording of “Venus” was one of the biggest selling hits of the era, becoming Avalon’s first #1 tune. His follow-up hits include “Bobbysocks to Stockings,” “Just Ask Your Heart,” and “A Boy Without a Girl.”

With a series of performances on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand , Fabian became one of the top teen idols of the late 1950’s, and one of the first pop artists to be known by just one name. An overnight singing sensation, film star with over 30 films to his credit, and producer of his own concert series, Fabian continues to expand his ever-growing career. He has enjoyed great success with the hits “Turn Me Loose,” “Hound Dog Man,” and the million-selling “Tiger” single.

Bobby Rydell is the very definition of talent. His career has encompassed six decades and counting. He first found success as a teen idol, selling over 25 million records, and went on to star on television, stage, and film. Today, Bobby continues to entertain audiences with his biggest hits including “Wild One,” “Volare,” “Swingin’ School,” “Kissin’ Time,” and “Forget Him,” and also performs favorites from The Great American Song Book.

Live reviews.

Over the course of a career that lasted in excess of fifty years, Frankie Avalon successfully navigated the treacherous path that takes one from teen idol to popular adult performer; his career kicked off in earnest in the fifties, with a slew of successful chart singles including ‘Just Ask Your Heart’, ‘A Boy Without a Girl’ and ‘I’ll Wait for You’ among them. Whilst he never enjoyed any major success outside of his native U.S., he was a huge star over there, moving into movies and television as his career progressed and remaining a popular performer for years to come.

He hasn’t released an album of any description since 1962, but he continued to tour with his live band throughout the sixties, before his film career really took off in earnest. Later, he’d go onto have his legacy demonstrated by being name checked by present day musical acts as diverse and popular as Wu-Tang Clan and System of a Down, and continued to make cameo appearances in movies throughout the nineties; he’s now presumably retired, with no recent activity to speak of for a while now, but there’s no question that his influence on generations that followed - including the present one - remains steadfast.

Report as inappropriate

Although teen idol Frankie Avalon has not released a solo album in over five decades, the man is without a doubt one of the 20th centuries most recognisable names so the demand to be seen live is assured to be ever present. He is one of the few to successfully transition from a teen star to an adult performer without the recognisable breakdown.

At the age of 74, you would imagine Frankie is ready for retirement yet the huge applause received as he steps onto the stage with his backing band is reason enough to continue. Although the show is a far more stripped back affair to accommodate Avalon's abilities, the voice and the music have aged beautifully and clearly have such a special resonance with a large amount of the audience gathered this evening. A gentlemen through and through, he consistently chats to the crowd and his own band before offering very sincere thank yous before wrapping up with 'Venus' from way back in 1959.

I saw him several times in Honolulu in the early 70s where he was doing dinner shows and would love to see him again. He truly was a classic act then and still is. Trying to find where he is touring in 2017. Missed him this weekend in Vegas. Found out you late to plan to attend ftom PHX.

A dreamy concert that will transport you back to those halcyon days, enjoy a very special evening with The Golden Boys!

The Golden Boys are Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and Fabian. Three teen idols who hit the bigtime in the late-1950s and early-1960s, these fellas have been friends for almost as long as they've been performing, and they were icons of the rock and roll era. They have been performing together as The Golden Boys since 1985, and prove to be as popular as ever.

Frankie Avalon is best known for his 1959 number one hits "Venus" and "Why," and he charted a whopping 31 U.S. Billboard singles from 1958 to late 1962 . He went on to have a booming career as an actor in a series of "beach party" films for American International Pictures, and in later life was cast in the memorable role of Teen Angel in the 1978 hit music film Grease, where he performed the song "Beauty School Dropout."

Rock and roll singer Bobby Rydell charted him 34 top 100 hits throughout the late-1950s and early '60s, placing him in the top five artists of his era, according to Billboard. His biggest hits were the number two single "Wild One" and his cover of Domenico Modugno's "Volare."

Shooting to fame after a number of appearances on American Bandstand, Fabian had 11 Billboard Hot 100 hits and was a bona fide heartthrob, finding whirlwind success as a singer, before striking up an acting career with 20th Century Fox. He later also signed with American International Pictures, and in the 1970s, he made a return to music.

Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell Set for 'The Golden Boys' Concert, 2/18

In 1985, three former teen idols-all from the same Philadelphia neighborhood-teamed for a concert titled The Golden Boys, which not only satisfied fans from their teen era by performing their hits, but illustrated that good singing and stage presence never go out of style. Frankie Avalon , Fabian & Bobby Rydell , "The Golden Boys" from American Bandstand's heyday, have appeared together on such major TV specials as "The American Music Awards," the closing ceremonies of the "Miss Liberty Special" (viewed by over 200 million people) and the ABC Inaugural special "Command Performance: An All-Star Salute To The President."

Avalon, Fabian and Rydell make their return PlayhouseSquare appearance Saturday, February 18th for one 7:30 pm concert in the Palace Theatre. (Their last PlayhouseSquare concert was a sellout!)

Frankie Avalon … One of America's most popular entertainers, Frankie Avalon went from '50s teen idol to become a national and international star. Born in Philadelphia, Frankie's early trumpet-playing career ended abruptly when a family friend, Bob Marcucci, heard him sing, and signed him to a recording contract.

Frankie's first song, "De De Dinah," became a smash hit, and his recording of "Venus" became one of the biggest selling hits of the era. His many follow-up hits included: "Bobbysocks to Stockings," "Gingerbread," "Just Ask Your Heart" and "A Boy Without A Girl," He is also credited with having the last #1 record of the '50s with "Why" reaching that status in December 1959.

In addition to his popularity as a top recording artist, Frankie became a movie star, appearing in over 30 films, and starring with such luminaries as Alan Ladd (Guns of Timberland) and John Wayne (The Alamo). Other film credits included "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," and the hit musical "Grease," but his biggest popularity came via the classic "Beach" movies with co-star Annette Funicello and included Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Beach Blanket Bingo and Bikini Beach among others. In 1987, Frankie reunited with Annette in the hit movie Back to the Beach.

A highly popular act on the concert circuit worldwide, he has appeared in every major country, and his appearance at the International Festival of Stars in Romania marked only the second time a U.S. entertainer (the first being Louis Armstrong ) has performed in that former Iron Curtain country since WWII.

Frankie also appears regularly on the Home Shopping Network on behalf of his Avalon Products company. Apart from his busy work schedule, Frankie is an avid golfer and lives in Los Angeles with his wife Kay (who he married in 1963). The Avalons have eight children.

FABIAN…. An overnight singing sensation, a movie star with over 30 films to his credit and the producer of his own concert series, former teen idol, Fabian, continues to expand his still-growing career.

"Fabian's Goodtime Rock 'n' Roll Show," (a concert series which he hosted and produced featuring the legendary rock acts of the '50s and '60s) was the first concert produced for pay-for-view television (1985 in Baton Rouge, LA before 85,000 fans). The show ultimately aired as a syndicated television special as well as a PBS pledge week special.

Fabian Forte was discovered at age 14 sitting on the front steps of his Philadelphia home. Capitalizing on his good looks and ability to excite an audience, Fabian reached dizzying heights of success. At 15 he won the Silver Award as "The Most Promising Male Vocalist "of 1958. By the time he turned 18, he had recorded dozens of hit singles, eight albums and earned gold records for "Turn Me Loose" and "Tiger" plus a gold album for "The Fabulous Fabian."

In 1959, Fabian made his screen debut in Hound Dog Man opposite teen model-turned-actress Carol Lynley , which sparked his interest in acting. His role as a homicidal maniac in the Robert Altman -directed TV production "A Lion Walks Among Us," solidly established his credentials as a versatile and powerful actor.

Serious about his craft, Fabian studied acting for three years in New York under Wynn Handman , and in Hollywood under Charles Conrad and Sandy Meisner. His impressive acting credits include featured roles with such stars as John Wayne , James Stewart , Jack Palance and George Segal .

Today, Fabian's fans see a stunning man to whom the years have been kind…an entertainer who is the consummate professional. Fabian has pursued his career with admirable intensity. He has climbed the show business ladder and survived… his sense of humor and integrity intact.

Bobby Rydell … Bobby's career spans several decades and encompasses every area of the entertainment world. From his debut in the late '50s as a rock 'n' roll teen idol, his career expanded to include starring roles in such hit films as Bye, Bye Birdie and plays like West Side Story.

Bobby's recording career earned him 34 Top 40 records, which puts him in the top five of all single artists from his era. His hits include the million-selling singles "Volare" "Wild One" and "We Got Love," in addition to "Swingin' School," "Kissin' Time" and "Forget Him"…selling a combined total of over 25 million records.

His worldwide network TV appearances have included The Ed Sullivan Show, as a semi-regular on Red Skelton 's weekly program and, of course, the quintessential program for teen idols, American Bandstand. Bobby has also earned a reputation as a classic performer…not only as a superb singer (whose voice even seems to improve over the years), but as an outstanding drummer, an agile dancer and a talented actor with a gift for comedy.

The constant factor throughout Bobby's career has been his love for performing live, which harkens back to his childhood performances of impersonating his favorite TV stars. Within several years he was entertaining crowds of swooning teens as one of rock 'n' roll's premier idols. Those same electric performances that thrilled his audiences beginning in the '50s continue to entertain today as he constantly tours internationally as both a solo act and as one-third of The Golden Boys…his friends from his old South Philly neighborhood.

In his spare time, Bobby is a highly visible and vocal fan of his hometown (Philadelphia) football, baseball, hockey and basketball teams.

Tickets for the Frankie Avalon , Fabian & Bobby Rydell "Golden Boys" concert, February 18th (7:30 pm) at PlayhouseSquare's Palace Theatre are $65, $55, $45, $20 & $10 Smart Seats on sale at The Playhouse Square Ticket Office, PlayhouseSquare.org or 216-241-6000.
