Hi, Devon,


I'll send you Why by Franky Avalon. I think that's a very beautiful song.

Hi, everyone. Last week, I argued with myself on more than one occasion about whether to feature Annette Funicello or Frankie Avalon in my Sixties Success Story. Finally, I settled on Annette. This week, I think I might do Frankie Avalon. Wikipedia lists his hits from 1958 to 1962. I’m wondering if anyone has these songs.

Just Ask Your Heart <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Ask_Your_Heart>" (U.S. #7), "I'll Wait for You <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ll_Wait_for_You_%28Frankie_Avalon_song%29>" (U.S. #15), "Bobby Sox to Stockings <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sox_to_Stockings>" (U.S. #8), and "A Boy Without a Girl <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_Without_a_Girl>" (U.S. #10). Most of his hits <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_record> were written <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songwriter> and/or produced by Bob Marcucci <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marcucci>, head of Chancellor Records <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chancellor_Records>. He was less popular in the U.K. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom>, but did still manage four chart hits with "Why", "Ginger Bread <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Bread_%28song%29>", "Venus" and "Don't Throw Away All Those Teardrops".^[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Avalon#cite_note-British_Hit_Singles_.26_Albums-5>

Venus I already have, but I don’t have anything else. I don’t have any others. Thanks so much.
