FRANKIE LYMON Hustled PROSTITUTES @10, ADDICTED @15 & DECEASED @25 - WHAT HAPPENED? 

People can’t handle fame and fortune much older than he was. At 13 he didn’t stand a chance. The only people looking out for him were his friends in the group and that’s why his manager forced him to go solo. Got him isolated, hooked, the robbed him for every dime.

Poor him, his whole life was a whirlwind

He grew up way to fast.Then just as fast fell off.Sad.

One of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century

This makes me want to watch the movie: "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" 😍

im watching it right now on Tubi can't believe he was that young messing with them grown women

I thought he was a punk cause his girlfriend talked about how the group would bully him. But I found out he used to fight, A LOT. 😂

💡This poor boy was turned out on drug's at 15 by a grown ass woman that was 35!😷 Yeah society just looks over that shit as if it's not bad!😖

Whoever did the casting for the movie was SPOT on. Some of them look exactly like the cast..

HAPPY 80th LEGEND DAY FRANKIE J.

Man.. I’ve been in a rabbit hole wanting to learn about the life of the talented Frankie Lymon. He was a unique human being, he’s experienced the best and worst parts of life and at such a young age. His story should be well known

As I Study the life of Frankie Lymon, I don't focus on the Mistakes he made off stage with Drug abuse, I only think of him as a great Entertainer & who is in heaven putting on an amazing Peformance # Rip Frankie Lymon.

I love how you put a new spin and twist on the Frankie Lymon story. There is so much about his life people know and don't know. Frankie endured so much as a child. Sounds as though he lived a dozen lifetimes before he died. He lived the only life he knew to live. Thanks for this walk down memory lane. Geneva no one dares to go where you go with these true life stories. You give the artists there moment of Truth as well as their dignity. Are you able to do a commentary on the gospel group the Clara Ward Singers. The first crossover gospel group need their moment to shine. The great times the bad times and the ugly times. I think that only one or two original members is still alive. God bless you and long live your channel Sistah.

Frankie is one of my favorites his voice his style he had it all what a waste he was the shit

When a celebrity dies its always somebody that says it was murder

Love this story part 1 because we have someone or somebody in our family; dealing with drugs or is deceased.

Yes. I saw the movie. Very interesting on his life and the women in it

The movie never show Elizabeth his wife was on drugs just him. I think they left that part out of the movie.

I had no idea Frankie was pimpin women at the age of 10 boy, talk about a hustler he be the envy of kids on the block.

900 companies and 900 people was a good investment in those days. But artist were not getting enough of pay for their talents and for their sales.

Thank u Geneva!!

Frankie Lymon will forever be the greatest vocalist of the 50s of the generation.

Too bad. Drugs destroy all good music artist. Its just the first time. That's it. Now your hooked. DON'T DO DRUGS THE FIRST TIME. Never drink of any glass , your not sure if some thing more is placed in the drink.

The movie about Frankie was NOTHING compared to his real life.

It's hilarious how the other two women really got involved in the case 😲 😆

This was disturbing 😖

Have many of you heard him singing in his recordings as an adult? HIS SINGING WAS OFF THE CHAIN!!👍👏💥 Can you envision a project about him in 1968 HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY to go back to 1957 TO SAVE HIS YOUNGER SELF?

He needed Christ

NO MENTION of When FRANKIE Got Drafted in the ARMY that ALSO AFFECTED his LIFE.😢 MID 1960S

His was easy picking. This is what made it so sad.

Child Prodigy - Genius

I JUST QUICKLY WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT YOU GOT WRONG.. FIRSTLY FRANKIE DID NOT WRITE THE SONG WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE AS AN ESSAY. THE SONG WAS ORIGINALLY A POEM WRITTEN BY A NEIGHBOR'S GIRLFRIEND. THE NEIGHBOR GOT TIRED OF THE TEENAGERS SINGING THE SAME FIVE SONGS IN FRONT OF HIS DOOR SO HE GAVE THEM THAT POEM AND THEY SWITCHED SOME WORDS AROUND AND ADDED A TUNE AND THEN IT BECAME A SONG. NOW SECONDLY WITH THE WHOLE COURT SITUATION.. THE ORIGINAL TEENAGERS STARTED THE PROCESS BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE RIGHTS TO THE MUSIC THEY WROTE AND MORRIS GOT MESSY & CALLED THE WIVES UP AND BROUGHT THEM INTO COURT AND THE TEENAGERS WERE FORGOTTEN ABOUT BUT THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL ONES THAT STARTED THE COURT CASE BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE RIGHTS TO THEIR SONGS THAT THEY ORIGINALLY WROTE AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN WIN THEIR RIGHTS AND WAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT BECAUSE MORRIS TURNED THE CASE INTO A SHIT SHOW.

Best info I’ve seen on him

I love this. Thank you so much

Girl you did that frankie lymon story.

Google info she reading from Google y’all 😢

2:25 pause it. I know it's off subject. But pay attention to the background at 2:25 at the man with the glasses either that is BUDDY HOLLY OR THE ZODIAC KILLER?

.. but.. How do you steal a set of drums?? 🤔

Jimmy Roger's looks like Elvis Presley.

Morris Levy, George Goldner, etc. didn't give a care about anyone but themselves, PERIOD!!!

Love it

Love this…… (new subscriber)

I can tell that most of weren't even around when the Teenagers featuring Frankie Lymon existed. I'm in my seventies, now. The so-called bio-pic was somewhat fictitious!

It's so sad that some want to make money 💰 🤑 💸 😪 and fame off of others' downfalls when I see the title. I thought there was so much to this young black king, then the title suggests. Look want happened to Wendy Williams with all the regurgitation she spilled‼️ blessings 🙌🏾 🙏🏽

Did you ever go a part 2?

I feel sad for him.. Sighhhh All those adults around him no one was really looking out for him

Ok... as a recovering addict, what is the "dope cure"? Ija

This was written in Ebony magazine?

I just got done watching why do fools fall and love

HOPEFULLY larenz tate and frankie and lymon DIDN'T EVER EVER kill a dog or any animals AT ALL in real life AT ALL and to be TOTALLY honest i jUST NOW REPORTED the dog COMPLETELY FAKE dog death scene from the film why do fools fall in love

Who deleted my other comment?

Classic 👃🏻 snaking our ppl from the beginning

He looked like a kid his whole life and he was very short

September 30. Well, of course he was a Libra when it comes to Sopies pay attention to a person son, I’ll guarantee you it’s almost always libra or Scorpio

THIS GOSSIP QUEEN HAS A EXTREMELY DEEPLY ENGRAINED SLAVE MENTALITY. SHE NOT SAYING HE WAS EXPLOITED, INTRODUCED TO DRUGS, THEN MURDERED. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

This is amazingly crazy and very interesting! He lived a rollercoaster life 🤔

I’m wrong go see who’s the owners of their catalogs…yeah right

It's something crazy about the number 25 a lot of celebrities died on the 25th, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Michael Jackson etc and Frankie Lymon died at age 25 years old and so did Tupac Shakur etc.

My word, my word ! My head was spinning, eventually. Change the names and dates, and it could have been ancient Rome. That's one of the Everly Brothers, and also Sam Cooke, I think, isn't it, at 7'25'' ? Oh dear, oh dear !

It's funny how people say things like, "God must have been watching over me". God was watching over him before rehab and that's why he didn't die so what happened when he was 25 and did die?

Zola Taylor

Only 26

This voice sounds like toxsique diamond?

One funny looking dude. Lmao. He was talented so that helped him get a lot of 😼 though.

He was murdered I talked to one of the teenagers

The GOODIE GOODIE vid with Satan behind Frankie creeps me out.

FL was given many second chances in his life, and he blew them all. Family and friends backed him up, and he threw it all away. Self-centered creep, actually.

❤❤. Got. Great 😸😸 News for u Jesus died. For your sinns and you can be forgiven ❤️😘 The. Bible says. He. That.has .the. Son Has. Life. He. That. Has. Not the. Son Shall not. See. Life ❣️ God wrath. On. Him

"The most authentic version of the truth" is gobbledegook. Irony of ironies, he sang about NOT being a juvenile delinquent, but thanks to American 'culture', he was. Good thing he died young - to spare us an MJ-like plastic surgery tragedy.
