Artists starting with Fabian

Fabian, “The Very Best Of” (United Artists, 1975; original recordings late 1950s/early 1960s)
Any time someone tries to give you that jive about “in the old days, teen idols could actually sing,” remind him/her about Fabian. Compared to him, Bieber, Styles, Jonas et all are Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. And that’s actually Fab’s charm – his flimsy, lurching-for-pitch vocal exertions ride the studio rockabilly here like a drunk hanging onto the end of a freight train. There’s something pathetically heroic about it, almost reminiscent of the Shaggs.
