		Like Annette, Frankie was also a “heavy lifter” in these films, but more on the side of percentage of script lines than songs.
		Avalon -- who by age eleven had already become an accomplished, highly capable trumpeter -- first worked his way up from local Philadelphia performance roles to appearances on national TV.
		Subsequent to that (and Annette's retirement due to her health), Avalon has continued to work -- as have many of his pop idol peers -- by making concert appearances, primarily on the dinner theatre and nostalgia concert circuits.

		Avalon decided to shift his major focus to his acting career and hit big in the early 60’s with ongoing role in the Beach Party film series.
		Performing the song “Beauty School Dropout” in a fantasy sequence, Avalon resurrected the glory of his teen idol days while gently satirizing them: it was a sly, self-aware moment and one of the highlights of the film.

	Amazon.com: The Best of Frankie Avalon: Music: Frankie Avalon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		I bought this CD for Frankie's mega-hits, as Venus, Dede Dinah, Bobby Socks to Stockings, etc. All of these songs are originals and are just as good now as when they were first released.
		Although "Beauty School Dropout" is missing (perhaps for licensing reasons), all of Avalon's hits are here in their original versions.
		The often maligned teen idol landed lots of pop hits, including the lushly Latin-flavored "Venus" and the harmonically adventurous "Why." Considering that only five of the 18 tracks on this CD didn't reach the Pop Top 40 charts, this is the quintessential collection for any fan.
