Love is a clown
That always fools around
Tears and laughter
That always fools around
Tears and laughter
Are sure to be found
Last week, it was my privilege to watch a 45 minute interview with the surviving Teenagers, Jimmy Merchant and Herman Santiago They are both alive and well in 2018 Two thousand and eighteen may also be how many times they sang Love is a Clown BUT It might be more accurate to say that two million and eighteen is how many times WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE —their signature song— has been recorded or performed or exploited or poeticized ... However, Jimmy and Herman would have been nothing more than music trivia's delight if FRANKIE LYMON had never existed But Frankie died the same year as Martin Luther King The last day of this Black History Month will be the 50th Anniversary of Frankie Lymon's departure He died on February 28, 1968 |
