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.
I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter
Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet they′re gonna knock me off my feet
A lot of kisses down at the bottom and I'll be glad I got 'em
I′m gonna smile and say I hope you′re feeling better
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
(I′m gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling better
And close with love the way you do)
Yeah I′m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
Yes and make believe that it came from you
In Fabian's song I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, the lyrics describe the act of writing a letter to oneself but imagining that it came from a loved one. The singer is going to write sweet words and lots of kisses that would make him feel better. He plans to smile and say that he hopes his loved one is feeling better and end the letter with love as he usually does.
The song is a representation of the lost art of writing letters and how it can connect individuals who are far away from each other. The lyrics suggest that even though the letter was written by the singer himself, the emotions and the love conveyed are real and can give the singer hope and joy.
The song was originally written in 1935 by Fred E. Ahlert and Joe Young but has since been covered by many artists. It was popularized again in 1957 with the release of Elvis Presley's version. Other famous covers of this song include those by Fats Waller, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Paul McCartney.

I actually enjoy this awfulnes y'all are talking about. I think there's beauty in the imperfection of his voice when there's a wonderful band with him.
@MyMy-zi7yv
I know what you're saying may sound crazy to most but I totally agree with you. I personally like the songs he sings, there is no pretense by him that he can sing, and management may have tried to get him to sing better but at the time the girls didn't care and they just left it at that. I absolutely love the song "Tiger," "String Along," and a few others from him.
@marcuyttenhove9471
'Tiger' is his best song, and 'Any old time'... The rest is not so fantastic...And he still sings together with Bobby Rydell and Frankie Avalon.
@MyMy-zi7yv
Here's a guy who yes, can't sing very well. But how many of you dudes out there who may be good lookin' and can't sing would refuse a contract to become a singer on your looks alone? That's what I thought ... crickets, we all would! I seen an interview a few years ago that I cannot find on youtube anymore. It was Paul McCartney trashing the hell out of Fabian and Frankie Avalon because to him they had no talent at all. I mean the trashing was very mean spirited and my very first reaction was, why the hell is McCartney, who is without doubt superior to both of these guys in talent ... what the hell is he going out of his way to knock these guys? Anyway, I'm "POSITIVE" somebody close to Sir JackAss Paul must've told him how stupid and ridiculous he looked criticizing these guys that I'm sure Paul tracked the video down and bought the rights to it and I bet it won't be showing on youtube anytime soon.
@cooldaddy2877
a God-awful singer (he knew it too) but he had a great band behind him.
