1) Fabiano Anthony Forte (born February 6, 1943, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania),is an American teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. In total, he charted 11 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
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.

Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be a love so wrong
Oh, does it leave you weak
Instead of strong
Somebody tell me about
This thing called love
When you feel so bad
Oh, does it make you think
That you're going mad
Somebody tell me about
This thing called love
When I first looked in her eyes
I thought she was the right one
Then I held her close while we danced
And soon started making
Romance, romance, romance
Can a love so real
Be a love so false
Oh, when you hold her near
She's not there at all
Somebody tell me about
This thing called love
When I first looked in her eyes
I thought she was the right one
Then I held her close while we danced

About this thing called love
In Fabian's song "About This Thing Called Love," he is questioning the nature of love and its conflicting effects on him. He wonders if a love can be both right and wrong at the same time, leaving one feeling weak instead of strong. Fabian also questions whether a love can be good while making one feel so bad, to the point of thinking they are going mad. He wants someone to explain to him what this thing called love really is.
The lyrics also describe Fabian's personal experience with love. He initially thought that he had found the right one when he looked into her eyes. As they danced, they started making romance. However, something changed, and he began to doubt the authenticity of their love. Despite holding her near, he felt that she wasn't there at all. The conflicting emotions he feels towards love and his own relationship drive him to ask for others to help him understand what love truly is.

To me, Fabian's best song. Many people would say there is no such thing, probably including Mr Forte himself; but this song [enhanced though it may be] is put together very well.
WHO is that great guitarist?
ModBopBeat
No such thing? Wat? Teen idols are unfairly treated imho.
Tiger is an absolute ripper; Lux Interior from the Cramps even considered it a fave.
Russell Ferrara
The song is by Jerry Ragavoy. Nothing wrong with the song. Not much right about Fabian.

Just think what Elvis would have done with this song!
