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.

Hound Dog Man
Fabian Lyrics
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
I'm gonna get me an ol' hound dog
I'm gonna let 'im lead the way
Then I'm gonna turn 'im loose
We'll go huntin' every day
That's the kind of life for me
There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
I'm wanna get up in the mornin'
a-Yeah, with the risin' sun
I'm gonna stay right on that trail
Till the day is done
I think I am old enough
I'm young in years but I'm mighty tough, a-like a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
I'm lookin' for a girl who'll be waitin' when I come home
She's gonna meet me with a kiss
She's gonna be one pretty miss
And every time I go, she gonna miss-a me more and more
She's gonna have a tear in her eye, the time's gonna pass so slow
That's the kind of life for me
a-There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
And every time I go, she gonna miss-a me more and more
She's gonna have a tear in her eye, the time's gonna pass so slow
That's the kind of life for me
a-There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
Hound dog man
Hound dog man

Fabian was fun. I think he did not take his "singing star" label too seriously. In the films he made he always seems to be enjoying the singing of those silly songs.

Love this!! Great childhood memories!❤️

I was a kid in 1959, and I heard that this new singing sensation from the States had made a movie and so I went to check it out. Well, I might have gone to see Fabian but I left the movie house wanting to be Stuart Whitman and madly in love with Carol Lynley

Sounds a bit different to my 45 recording - Fabe is more obviously off key here. On the original single they cover over him so much in the instrumentation his voice sounds adequate.
camryn fair
i love this song
Chef Al Dente
Amazing - the manufactured Elvis clone singing a song about a hound dog to compete with Elvis' hound dog. Were teens back then unable to see through this sort of thing?
MoosicandCritters
Yes, they were. But it really didn't matter. Back then, life was so much more carefree and fun.
Bill Busse
Of course they were and still are. It was a great song though and he was great to look at!

This thing is remixed from the mono original. You can actually hear Fabian's vocal brought to the forefront. On the original 45, much of his vocal is buried by the background singers. Here, you can barely hear them.
