Happy Birthday to Frankie Avalon!

[AlwaysWrite]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Frankie Avalon, born Francis Thomas Avallone in Philadelphia 77 years ago (on Sept. 18, 1940). The teen idol charted 13 Top 40 national hits, in addition to co-starring with Annette in a number of beach movies. Here, he performs his chart-topping "Why" -- which, by the way, was the very last No. 1 song of the 1950s ...

HBD Frankie!!

AW, looks like you got everything back up and running after the storm.

I thought I might have to take over with the birthdays if your computer got washed out to sea

Dear livespive:

Actually, unlike many of my fellow Floridians -- some of whom still are without power -- the electricity was restored the afternoon after the storm (a week ago today), and I was able to be on the computer that day. I may have missed one or two singers' birthdays, but there haven't really been too many of them over the past several days, prior to that of Frankie Avalon.
