    Decent music artist. hide show

    I haven't listened to everything that Frankie Avalon has done in his career, even a little bit. From of the very few songs I have heard from his career, I have to say he is a decent singer. Not my favorite type of singer or music, but I respect what he did in his prime. He was supposedly popular among the teen generation and was considered to be one of the most popular music figures at one point. Overall, he has been a good artist while he was active back in the 50's and his work has been looked upon as decent. Thank you.
