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 song "Teacher Teacher" by Frankie Lymon is a love song that speaks to the heart of a young student who has fallen in love with his teacher. The lyrics suggest that the teacher has given the student more than just an education, but also a sense of purpose and a reason to excel. The student has fallen in love with the teacher, and hopes that his feelings are reciprocated. The song is a plea for the teacher to see him as more than just a student, but as someone worthy of love and attention.
The first verse suggests that the lesson learned from the teacher is not just academic, but emotional as well. The student is willing to hold on tight to the teacher, in hopes of learning all that there is to know about love. The chorus further emphasizes this idea, with the student asking to be educated with love, and to be made the teacher's pet. The second verse suggests that the student has found more meaning in the teacher's eyes than in any book, and that the teacher is someone who is truly special, and deserving of affection.
The bridge of the song brings the idea of love and education together, with the student saying that he will do his homework diligently, until it leads to a perfect score of 103. This perfect score not only represents academic achievement, but also the attainment of the teacher's love and affection. The final lines of the song are a plea for the teacher to hold him and kiss him, to make him feel loved and special.
Overall, "Teacher Teacher" is a beautiful song that speaks to the complexity of relationships between teachers and students. The lyrics suggest that there is more to education than just academic achievement, and that the love and attention of a teacher can have a profound impact on a student's life.

I love his voice here. He was around 19/20, he would've definitely fit in the Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding market had he got a chance to let his voice flow like he did on here. Sad that he never got the chance. His voice here is booming!!! RIP Frankie. 👑👑👑👑👊👊👊👊
@TheReneex
His voice was equally as impressive as a young adult as was during his youth. Lymon and the Teenagers were extremely talented, attractive and possessed all of the earmarks of marketable teen musical artists. They were sadly mismanaged and exploited by greedy music industry CEO’s.
@tashawilliams8093
He sounded good to me. I don't get why people just didn't understand that as you grow up/get older your voice isn't gonna sound the same as before puberty.
