I'm a Man
Fabian Lyrics
Now when I was a little boy,
At the age of five,
I had somethin' in my pocket,
Keep a lot o' folks alive.
Now I'm a man, Made twenty-one.
You know, baby,
We can have a lot o?fun.
I'm a man.
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
All you pretty women
Stand in line.
I can make love to you, baby,
In an hour's time.
I'm a man,
Spelled M. A. N. Man.

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.

While he was not in same league as Elvis, Jerry Lee, Roy O, etc he still made some good songs. To date, Fabian has sold over 12 million albums and singles world-wide, not to be sniffed at!

His first, and probably his best. He always had great production, but was severely limited by his vocal range

Contains the great line: "I may be young and I still go to school, but when it comes to chicks I'm no 'poor little fool'. ('Poor LIttle Fool' was Ricky Nelson's song.) Great photos, nice editing job.

Oh! This one was a great hit in Germany for TED HEROLD I think in 1959 as well, so apparently the German version was released shortly after the English original. But I think without the Internet and all that, I would never have found out who sang the original! AFAIR it was only known to real connoisseurs.

On this day in 1958 {December 12th} Fabian performed "I'm A Man" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
Exactly one month later on January 12th, 1959 the song enter Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #79, four weeks later it would peak at #31 {for 2 weeks} and it spent ten weeks on the Top 100...
Between January 1959 and October 1960 he had ten records on the Top 100 chart, three made the Top 10 and all three peaked in 1959, "Turn Me Loose" {#9 for 2 weeks}, "Tiger"* {#3 for 2 weeks}, and "Hound Dog Man" {#9 for 1 week, in the last week of 1959}...
Fabian, born Fabiano Anthony Forte, will celebrate his 75th birthday come next February 6th {2018}...
* And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, for the two weeks that "Tiger" peaked at #3, for those two weeks the #1 record was "Lonely Boy" by Paul Anka and at #2 was "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton...
