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.

String Along
Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
String along, someone that you just seem to
Bring along whenever you are all alone, need some company
You always turn to me
String along (string along), that's all I do is sorta
String along (string along), you never seem to notice
I'm along, I just want you to want me, too
String along, that's all I am is just your
String along, someone that you just seem to
Bring along whenever you are all alone, need some company
You always turn to me
Treat me wrong (treat me wrong) and maybe soon you'll lose
Your string along (string along), someone may come and bring a
Love that's strong, and want to string along with me
Find somebody new, won't treat me like you do
String along (string along)
That's all I am is just your
String along, someone that you just seem to
Bring along
Fabian's song String Along is a poignant reflection on the feelings of a person who has been relegated to the status of a mere companion, a string along. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses his despair at not being valued for himself, but only as a supplement to the other person's company. He pleads with his friend to recognize his worth and the depth of his affections, and to reciprocate them. The fact that he is treated as a mere option, someone to be reached out to only when there is no one else around, makes him feel lonely and unloved.
The theme of String Along is one of unrequited love and the desire for attention and affection. The lyrics capture the raw emotion of a person who longs to be appreciated and loved for who he is, not just as a stand-in for someone else. The metaphor of a string along is powerful in its simplicity, and demonstrates how easily people can be cast aside and taken for granted. The song speaks to anyone who has ever felt sidelined or overlooked, and longs for recognition and acceptance.

Fabian is actually quite good on string along but Ricky Nelson does a killer version on it because Ricky had a great voice and a romantic vibe

Great song, stayed in the back of my mind for good 30 years. Thank you for posting!
Darryl C Preston
I agree with you. The quality that I always appreciated was Fabian's inclusion of the chorus. Rick had a better voice, but Fabian's version was more spirited.

Love the guitar solos of those days -
thecountofbasie
Me too...as often as Fabian and Frankie Avalon are put down by purists, the session musicians, especially the guitarists, were often stellar...the solo on this one is absolutely killer
