what the hell? they coulda shown more love than that. the audience was like "Who cares?", these guys were the ones who elevated Rock N Roll!!! stand the fuck up in the memory of Frankie Lymon!
This place isn't about this kind of rock. I'm sure at one point, there were more British musicians in the american rock and roll hall of fame than the American pioneers. Like he said, the record was live, but people aren't interested in the raw and real anymore.
+lordXAVIJAANBJERGNOG Rock N Roll was started by Americans, specifically People of Melanin Skin. I believe the audience lack the knowledge of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. That is probably why there was a lack of enthusiasm.
Good to see Herman once again, he lived in the same building I lived on Audobon Ave. I lived on the 5th floor he lived on the third floor they deserved all of this pioneers of Rock and Roll !!! That was in 1960
YES! INDEED , THEY WERE THE FIRST IN R N R HISTORY. THEY WERE AS A R .N.R GROUP "MAGNIFICENT " ACT . AND WORK HARD AT IT TOO. I DO GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR THAT! 👍👍
I didn't know Frankie Lymon since I saw the movie about 8years ago. He had such a talent. I don't know how much of the movie is true, but if three ladies fought over him, he must of did something right. I enjoy his music and it's sad that he didn't have anyone to talk to him when he was depressed without his music. He had a hard life and will live forever by his fans. A.
The movie should have been about the highs and lows of Frankie,and not the women that fought over him.5 kids from Harlem who set the country on fire and even played for the Queen of England.Frankie was so talented,but the movie could have been more powerful.
Unfortunately, Frankie Lymon's personal demons caught up to him and he died at an early age (25) of a heroin overdose. He had been sober up until then and decided to have a celebration when he was signed to a recording contract which would have signalled a comeback. He died in his grandmother's apartment in Washington Heights, the building still exists. His brother, Lewis Lymon sang with The Teenagers along with Jimmy Castor for a time until both went on to have successful solo careers. Lewis Lymon died in 2013 and Jimmy Castor died in 2012.
Could someone set the record straight. Smokey Robinson was inducted in 1987 along with Frankie Lymon at least in his Book but his Fellow Miracles were not. It's so sad to see so many R & B Singers from the 1950's stand onstage and receive their honor but not have a true penny to their name.
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles were also inducted into the R&R HoF. An oversight that was finally remedied. But there are many artists who are inducted individually and as part of the group. For example; Michael Jackson was inducted twice; as a solo artist and as part of the Jackson 5.
Melvin Franklin, Bill Brown, Herb Reed, Gerald Gregory, Dub Jones, Jimmy Ricks, Bill Pinkney, Boots Bowers, etc. I could go on all day. I love Sherman, but on my list, there’s many in front of him.
@Frederic Wells I have a lot of sympathy for their kids. I think growing up without their dad's probably hurt them the most as I see this video I can see the sadness in there eyes. Shermans daughter I believe was fighting her tears. I understand where you are coming from. 2 of them passed a year apart. I believe they had health problems.
@Anthony Gonzalez Yes I had heard Frankie Lymons seabreeze that song is amazing. I finally realized it was the teenagers that open doors for the motown groups and Sherman open doors for bass singers to melvin franklin of the temptations through 70,s 80,s and 90,s. Sherman's deep lowest bass voice is unmatchable.
@Frederick Wells I think with Sherman he had problems with his heart he was very tall when your very tall like that it becomes burdens. Joe negroni I think he might have had health problems. It's a sad situation that 3 members are gone and 2 members are still living.
Frankie Lymon was watching & smiling in Heaven . Frankie Deserved this sorry to hear He died @ 25 from a heroin overdose. Frankie will be honored Sherman & Joe too .
A Great Moment in History ! Just Happy They Finally Made It ...just took a long time getting Here ! Goodness Grace Happiness and good Health to all People ! .....Q ......ol couple way down in TX....Q why it took soooo long ???? CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! TO ALL IN THAT CIRCLE of GREATNESS !!! SALUTE !!!!!!!
Like I said 1993 is an important time in hip hop and just to be honest in general I was born but I appreciate the time the gods and people of whom they blessed us with like Frankie Lymon nd the teenagers I salute and respect you for you’re an inspiration to me and everyone else
If I remember correctly, the court victory won by Herman Santiago and Jimmy Merchant was thrown out on appeal because they had taken too long to file their suit.
It's called "Statute of Limitations". In this case, the plaintiffs brought their suit 25 years after the S o L had expired; you get only 7 years after the injury or tort to file suit. In the case of "The Teenagers", three had already died (Frankie Lymon's estate was still in litigation due to his bigamous relationships with 3 women) and the remaining two weren't aware until the new rendition had become a hit. Back in the day, unscrupulous producers would take advantage of artists and basically steal their rights away from them. It still occurs today; see the example of "The Sugar Hill Gang" and their long fight to their name: czcams.com/video/g9bQtjyace8/video.html So even in the "Hip Hop Era" it still happens. To show you how grimy and dirty the record business is, read this essay from Courtney Love (Yes, THAT Courtney Love) and see how artists are systematically ripped off: www.salon.com/2000/06/14/love_7/ and www.gerryhemingway.com/piracy2.html Plus read Cracked.com article on how the music industry REALLY works: www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1288-7-things-record-deal-teaches-you-about-music-industry.html
Did you realize the white ladies barely moving to his music? It's that they were scared to because back then it was inappropriate for white woman to enjoy African American music. That's what I think about those times. Am I the only one who noticed that?
No,you're not!! I noticed that from the jump Andrea! I also noticed the smirks on their faces as well! Go to the video when he sings "Little bitty pretty one"& you'll REALLY see how those assholes are rolling their eyes at him!! It's a damn shame!! SMH!!
This audience sucks. No respect for this great group. separated the man from his music. Elvis was addicted to drugs, food and women...☹You have him on a pedestal.
Elvis also made 1 million records and toured constantly. The teenagers with Frankie Lymon had one record. That music going out of style quick and they were completely forgotten until Diana Ross redid why do fools fall in love in 1981. What do you expect the audience to do?
I love the Moody Blues, but they didn’t even have 1/10th of the influence on Rock n Roll that Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had....sorry, but it’s true!

To be fair, I blame Boyz Learn II Read for their unenthusiastic and seemingly lazy book report reading introduction.
@@anvilblackstone1557 They were young and probably very nervous.
One of THEE most beautiful voices ever in this world!

How was he in person
YESSS!!! THAT BABY DESERVED THIS... HE WAS SO TALENTED!!! The others ( TEENAGERS ) AS WELL!!!! R.I.P FRANKIE!!!!!
Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers are the best

Pretty soon probably this decade Boyz II Men will be inducted into this Hall of Fame.
I wish the three deceased members got this award. They are probably in heaven watching above. We miss you Frankie, Joe, Sherman. RIP.
The Hall started in 1987. Sadly, only two were left by then.
@@wvu05the Hall started in 1986 when they inducted Elvis, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Etc.
Frankie Lymon deserved to be honored & remebered. Why do fools fall in love # 1. Sad He died @ age of 25 in 1968 He will never be forgotten .

His daughter, Leslie looks like him.

what took them so long to induct this fantastic group into the Hall. I can not believe who has been inducted in the past over this group
What do you mean? They got inducted in 1993.
I wanted to learn more about Joe Nergoni and Sherman Garnes, so I’m glad to find out they had children.
@Frederic Wells Sherman garnes passed in February of 1977 of a heart attack and Joe negroni passed in 1978 of cerebral hemorrhage.

Frankie lymon and the teenagers wrote all the lyrics to the song Why Do Fools Fall In Love Not Morris Levy because he did not write the song
Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers didn't get any royalties from the song they wrote Why Do Fools Fall In Love
pmerk36 Morris Levy quickly grabbed his publishing rights to the song Why Do Fools Fall In Love for millions of dollars
no wonder the jews got so rich
beautiful... what a group...love them...

It happened a few years after their induction

Most were "one hit wonders" and many groups split and disappeared into other groups that ARE in the Hall of Fame.

Beautiful daughters, what are their names and where are they?
Why is everyone stumbling over their words was there alcohol in the back

There usually is at these events.
I would say nerves.. The first one said he was nervous.. This is a pretty big event and for young people this was a big moment for them.

The fact is hey had to read it ;poorly) shows how they don’t even value what their saying
Fly in Heaven
"Sweet Soprano"(?):58 They meant to say "Tenor", or "Counter Tenor"!🗣🎶 Men don't sing Soprano!
Ah now I know who he is. A few vids didnt hurt
They stole this man shit, after he died
he had kids? never knew that?
What year was this?

I wish they got that reward. It's so sad. Frankie Lymon should'nt have got that award. The other deceased members shouldn't have got it too. So sad.
At least the teenagers are in the rock and roll hall of fame it took me years to realize they opened doors for motown groups in the 60s
I have no idea who Frankie Lymon is, And I am not being critical of them, but where are the Moody Blues and Chicago?
MrMrwilson11 google their location
Moody Blues England, Chicago, Chicago
crusher1944 Idea. Not Idear
All caps shows an inferiority complex
I love the Moody Blues, but they didn’t even have 1/10th of the influence on Rock n Roll that Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers had....sorry, but it’s true!
Just search them up then. Probably heard their songs. They got classics.
