abian was discovered in 1957 by Bob Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis, owners of Chancellor Records. At the time, record producers were looking to the South Philadelphia neighborhoods in search of teenage talents with good looks, and Frankie Avalon, also of South Philly, suggested Fabian as a possibility.
With songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Fabian released a series of hit singles for Chancellor Records including "I'm a Man", "Hound Dog Man", a #9 hit in the U.S., "Turn Me Loose" (U.S. #9), and his biggest hit, "Tiger", which reached number 3 in the U.S. charts. Other singles that charted included "String Along", "About This Thing Called Love" and "This Friendly World", which reached #12 on the U.S. charts.
His career in music basically ended after he bought out of his contract with Marcucci after signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. During the payola scandal of the 1960s, Fabian testified before Congress that his recordings had been doctored electonically to significantly improve his voice.
2) Fabian Ordorica of Los Angeles. Churning out heavy apocalyptic electro powerhouses and pop gems alike, Fabian is a multi-talented musician and producer. His songs are heavy, dark, and taking dance music in an entirely new direction. His live show is entirely original productions strung together in a non-stop, melt your face revolution. He promises to get any group of people in front of him dancing until their clothes are soaked. Since his productions are original, his live set will never get stale, and promises to get the interest of anyone seeing him play. He is a member of the Binary Family, a fast rising label of electronic musicians in Los Angeles.
3) Fabian Feyaerts is the Belgian representative at Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
4) FABIAN is about
body symbolism, pop ambivalences,
classical tunes of rock history and groove.
Based in Leipzig FABIAN started in 2013.
Die Band um Sängerin Maria6668 verwandelt pulsierende Texturen in präzise Rhythmen und spielt sich dabei durch unterschiedlichste musikalische Stilistik. Schöne Melodiebögen werden auf nahezu ironische Art und Weise gebrochen und tauchen fast unbemerkt in einem neuen musikalischen Kontext wieder auf.

This Friendly World
Fabian Lyrics
In this friendly, friendly world with each day so full of joy
Why should any heart be lonely?
In this friendly, friendly world with each night so full of dreams
Why should any heart be afraid?
The world is such a wonderful place to wander through
When you've got someone you love to wander along with you
With the skies so full of stars and the river so full of song
Every heart should be so thankful
Thankful for this friendly, friendly world

EDITH SYMMANS
Fabian was a young man found for his great good looks and pushed into the music business to live the dream for some other guy…. what this young man did was work hard to support his entire family as the sole provider….. remember Fabian was only around fourteen years old when he started this singing stuff….. I admire his guts and determination to stick to it and make a go of it all…. just would like people to stop knocking Fabian, he's wonderful….. when was the last time one of you knockers got on stage and sung up a storm? Give Fabian a brake people.

He was great in "North to Alaska" No singing, but good comedy acting.
