Our Take

Step aside kids, this album is bringing us back to the golden age of doo-wop with Frankie & The Teenagers Lymon's "Why Do Fools Fall In Love? The Singles & Albums Collection 1956-61".

This collection is a time capsule of the raw and infectious energy of 1950s music, with Frankie Lymon's soulful vocals leading the charge. The title track, "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?", is an absolute classic that still makes us want to twirl around in poodle skirts.

But don't be fooled by the nostalgia factor, these songs have a timeless quality that transcends the era they were created in. From the smooth harmonies of "I Want You To Be My Girl" to the heart-wrenching ballad "I Promise To Remember", Frankie & The Teenagers Lymon showcase their versatility and talent with each track.

The collection not only includes their hits, but also some hidden gems that will make you wonder why they weren't chart-toppers back in the day. Tracks like "Mama Don't Allow It" and "Thumb Thumb" show a playful side to the group that is just as captivating as their more well-known tunes.

Overall, "Why Do Fools Fall In Love? The Singles & Albums Collection 1956-61" is a must-have for fans of doo-wop and 1950s music. Frankie & The Teenagers Lymon may have been teenagers when they burst onto the scene, but their music is mature, timeless, and downright irresistible. Trust me, you'd be a fool not to fall in love with this collection.
