I just love Frankie's smile. He had one of the best smile's ever. This pic was taken in April of 1960 which means that Frankie was almost 18. He grew into such a handsome man didn't he?
I am on a mission to ressurect his legacy. I believe too many people look at how he died, by heroin overdose and don't see anything else. Many people see Frankie as an addict who was lucky enough to be able to sing as well. This couldn't be further from the truth. Frankie was born with the gift of an amazing voice and incredible stage presence well beyond his years. He was thrown into an adult world before his stardom. Not making excuses for Frankie cause he could have said no to heroin but I feel it is very unfair to just judge him negetively without knowing and understanding his short life. This is the reason I plan on writing an in depth bio on Frankie. I want people to know the TRUTH!
