Frankie Avalon
If anyone needed further proof as to how well Italian belcanto heritage translated into the American mainstream after the success of Italian-American crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, look no further than late 50s/early 60s teen idol Frankie Avalon (born Francis Avallone in 1939). With a background as a child prodigy trumpet player who performed on the Jackie Gleason show, Avalon had enough musical chops to outlast most of his contemporaries. A manufactured teen star, Avalon dominated the US charts throughout the post Elvis late 50s dullness.
