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

Hey quit dissing Fabian. How would you like it if someone dissed you on the internet? I'm sure you wouldn't like it. I saw Frankie Avalon & Fabian in concert a long time ago! Fabian can sing very well!
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?
Edgar Soberón Torchia
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.
Bill Busse
A great song. So Fabian wasn't the best singer but most pop rock artists cannot sing today either. Many are covered up by other voices, too loud drums and guitars and
performances are tweaked in the studio so they don't sound flat.
camryn fair
i love this song

fabian tried to hard to be a younger elvis but cleaned up.

For that matter, try listening to Scott "Chiachi" Baio's recordings. Not very good. But the teenybopper girls of that era loved him anyway.
Gannon Roberts
Boy howdy, he can't sing worth a....

Is that Lennie and the Squigtones in the background?

You SHOULD be sorry. You should have turned it into a litter box!
