The Teenagers' first single, 1956's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest. After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and those of the Teenagers fell into decline. Lymon eventually fell into heroin addiction, and died in 1968 at the age of twenty-five.

the lights
of a little town
where the stars shine bright
and the moon never frowns
where a man
can find peace
and get all
its my home
and they call it
seabreeze
what a town to live in
what a place to see
i am sure
you'll give in
to the joy and the lead
when you'll find
peace of mind
you wont want to leave
come with me and ill show you

if you don't
believe what Ive said is true

and ill show to you
people singing their songs
as they go along
to the streets
of a town called
seabreeze

They didn't realize what they had back then. He, easily, sounds 100 times better than most male singers today.

Anyone who says Frankie had lost his voice has a tin ear. One of the most haunting, heart wrenching voices ever. RIP The GREAT Frankie Lymon.
