Frankie Lymon was one of rock & roll's first teen prodigies -- and one of its earliest tragedies. Lymon wrote and sang this hit as a thirteen-year-old Harlem kid. But the writing credit -- and money -- went to his label boss, Levy, an associate of the Genovese family. Lymon died a penniless heroin addict in 1968 at the age of twenty-five.
