When it came to being cute, Justin Bieber and all the knuckleheads we have now couldn't hold a candle to Frankie Avalon in his prime. Very hot little Italian fella. he not only was a hit in music, he could act and was a hit in the movies. He just had it all. He could be hot and successful without being an asshole. No pop stars have that sort of career anymore.
This song was released the year I was born, and my first cognitive memories as a toddler are of this song playing as my mother danced around the house with me in her arms. Very special little tune to my Mom, as her friend's sister was dating Frankie at the time. They were both from "the neighborhood" in South Philadelphia.
This record gains legitimacy from the sax solo over 24 bars....must be Buddy Savett I am guessing.....just superb....He was on the masterpiece "Dinner with Drac"....Anyone confirm his playing with Frankie Avalon`s session ?
