FRANKIE LYMON "WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE!" Part 2 

Tell us about your stories bro

I've talked to Lewis numerous times before his death. Was the secretary of his ProBoards fan clubs. Being from Philly I met Liz and her intimate family. My mom and her went to school together. She talked about her terrible life with him and they were broke and he would try to get singing gigs with philly groups but was denied. He tried selling drugs in Philly but almost got killed by some south philly dudes who pistol whipped him and knocked his 3 chipped teeth out

Wow

The story is very interesting and mysterious. Alot of weird facts that were never investigated 🔎. You never know about the music 🎶 industry

Sadly, a lot of artist were cheated back in those days and especially young black artist. Apparently it still goes on today for some artist.

No, seriously.. Where did it go?? C'mon.. 🤔

$5,000 per week is a lot of money today.

A lot of money now

Women love money & drama

@@cka_9537 I guess so my Lord he has that little boy look.....

Easy he hit them with the mule

Meh, he looks old later down to me

I thought the same thing lol… but there are some pictures of him in the 60s where he’s more mature looking

Wow 😲 I never knew this part happened to him... The movie is totally different.... I wonder if they did a DNA test. I'm sure he was clean during this time of his life

He wasn't killed! Smh

Smh y'all say anything

Basically, this story MAKES A LOT OF SENSE!!!!!!👍👍👍

Sounds like DMX story too...this is just my opinion!!!! But I believe he was worth more unalive...he was over weight..his new music wasn't doing the numbers it used to. X had a long jail record and a bad drug habit boom that's how they got him...he had multiple children and women to provide for and maybe a thought was can the labels milk him like they used to?? Tour him to death ...they already own his music..x had 11 million dollars in debt that jayz forgave so u know most of that was advances for jail and family survival when the music slowed down. Idk I thought ALOT about DMX and I think that he was one who was given a bad bag..Whitney too..the guy from the wire Micheal k. Williams ..ALOT of stars are given bad bags becuz the industry wants them out. Period so they use exactly what their weakness is when they're "done" with the talent. They use..lust..drugs..debts..pissing off the powers that be etc. Games always stays the same the ppl that play the game are the only ones to change. Look at r.kelly...look at puffy.

Your right all are gone😢

He didn't know any better what do you expect. He was introduced to this industry as a child and was learing as he went. A lot of the business details were kept hush so he and the teenagers would continue to be taken advantage of.

@@leelei978 plus he was a drug user

He was a drug user and had no knowledge of the music industry...

It's like borrowing against a settlement but there is no lump sum in the end ..so after so many advances and loans...the music slowing down etc Frankie didn't have no choice but to sell his music for next to nothing when the label was making millions off each song ..they gave Frankie crumbs becuz they knew he was desperate and in need.. probably homeless, rehab stays...mickey was prostituting all kinds of shxt so they could just get by..so could we really be mad?? He probably wasn't even getting no royalties..so they was really starving Frankie out and putting him in more debt by giving him advances and loans.. so he had no choice but to sell what was worth anything...they probably was giving him a couple thousand here and there to stop him from harassing the record company.. but whole time the label was getting millions smh. It's cold out there in them streets 😔.. especially if u don't have no direction. They kept Frankie high and with beautiful women to delude him. The record label will always give u exactly what u want. So when they say "he died broke" that may be true becuz he was selling his rights just to eat, live..keep women and shoot dope. Without music what else did he have?

It was but don't blame him

Yesss glad you said it. They still til this day say a lot of celebrities died of an overdose mmhmm. Also Gary Coleman looks alot like Frankie, to me.

@@NeaUnique !!!!!!!!Gary coleman crossed my mind also when I saw Frankie. They had to be related somewhere along the line because even in Frankie's adult years he didn't seem that tall.

I fully agree with your statement! Big Time Evil! The chance we have to get out of here alive is through the Blood of " Jesus Christ ". We are attacked daily by unseen forces that aren't from man but, by the Spirit that started with Adam and Eve and they had long time to practice and know exactly how to affect us If we don't have the Armor of God. I am still working on this myself!

​​@@leelei978 Let's not forget that Gary, as an infant WAS ADOPTED by the Colemans. I wonder???? 🧐🤔

Smh

NBA young boy may be going the route Frankie did..he needs to realize he's at his peak and the come down is much harder than the come up.

None of those marriages are legit

@D'Angelo Davis that’s sad I wonder if they got back together he would still be alive today

They did, briefly

I’ve loved “The Love You Save”, by the Jackson 5 since I was 10, right around the time it came out!

@immaggiethesenilegoldenret7918 ...Michael Joseph Jackson wasn't born and raised in Harlem, either! The former grew up with his brothers and sisters. Joseph and Katherine Jackson were their parents. Again, the so-called King of Pop was also hooked on prescription drugs, which also took his life. Michael Joseph Jackson was two months and four days short of his fifty-first birthday (August 29th, 1958 - June 25th, 2009).
