Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon (Official Thread)

Official Website

Next to Dion, this guy is one of my favorite artist of the 50's. Read that he was born Frederick Anthony Picariello Jr. on December 4th 1940. I think his biggest songs were Tallahassee Lassie,Palisades Park, and my personal favorite Transistor Sister. Otherwise I do not know much about him, maybe you guys and gals can help me with that XD. As you can see below I posted his songs. I do not own the videos and did not make them of course. Sorry if the sound is rough XD. Enjoy the Music! *1-26-13 Fixed videos.

Me neither. The only song I know by him is Tallahassee Lassie, which was good except for the annoying "WOO!"s.

Great late 50's/early 60's R&R!
