Frankie Lymon was a New York-based American boy soprano and doo-wop singer who played a prominent role as the lead singer of the earliest boy band group The Teenagers, which the group consisted especially of boys in their early to late teenage years.
By 1957, the group was being billed as "Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers". This caused in-fighting, and by September, Goldner had pulled Lymon out of the group to record solo. Lymon had little success as a solo artist. He became a heroin addict at the age of 15 and his sales dropped quickly in the early 1960s.
Ending credits show the real Frankie Lymon singing his song "Goody Goody". Little Richard also makes a courtroom appearance, and Miguel A. Nunez Jr. portrays Little Richard in scenes set in the 1950s. The film ends with Emira's winning Frankie's estate.
