Long before there was a Michael Jackson--in 1956, to be specific--there was Frankie Lymon, a thirteen-year-old dynamo with a soaring voice who led a seminal black vocal group and crafted some of the genre's most enduring early songs. This greatest-hits collection--released in the wake of the sort of bio-pic "Why Do Fools Fall in Love"--has all the groups best songs, as well as "Goody Goody," Frankie's only solo hit. Essential. minimize
