Frankie Avalon – 79 Years Old
Starting off his career as a teen singer and actor, Frankie Avalon would go on to deliver 31 US Billboard topping songs in a matter of 4 years, and that includes his biggest hits ‘Why’ and ‘Venus’. Being an expert trumpet player, he debuted on The Jackie Gleeson Show and people immediately took notice. Wanting to become an established singer, dancer and actor, he took on a number of acting projects in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, while also working on his music. By the time the 90s rolled in, Frankie’s work slowed down but he never retired. Instead, he went on a long tour under the name Dick Fox’s Golden Boys that also featured one-time teen heartthrobs Fabian Forte and Bobby Rydell. He recently also released a cookbook titled ‘Frankie Avalon’s Italian Family Cookbook.’
