This Is Fabian

Fabian was one of the singers who was called in to help finish the tour after "the day the music died". This CD has the songs he released during, and shortly after, that period. A good representative of the "teen idol" period.

Delivered quickly. Just what I tbought it would be. Not a great singer but good early rock n roll.

Yes, friends of mine thought I was NUTS when I told them I got a Fabian CD and told them it was rockin' and good. But its true. It is. There are a few dog tracks, but overall its excellent. Anybody know session details? Some smoking guitarist(s) on these cuts. Fabian was legit!

MIL loved this and very fast shipping. Fabian is one of her all time favorite artist and this had all her favorite songs!

Fabian was a product of the 50s/60s star-making machine.His voice is not great. (Nor was his acting.) But serviceable.And these productions are mediocre at best.Still, there are a few minor gems - notably "Hound Dog Man" and "Tiger."Good for a trip down memory lane.

Fabian is a great performer. He is a product of the Dick Clark era on American Bandstand. I love to listen to the cd. Steve from South Georgia.

I have been liking for this for years

Not only did he have the voice, but he also had one hell of a band backing him. Fabian Forte is without a doubt, one of the most underrated singers of all-time. His voice was flawless, and much like the other greats like Pitney, Darin, Dimucci, Maestro, Nelson, and many others, Fabian's voice just floated through the air with little to no effort, and shall go down in history as a rock legend. A lot of people compared him to Elvis, and with great reason.Buy this album ASAP.

Listening To This CD, You Can See Why Fabian ( Fort'e ) Took So Much Flak....The Boy Could Not Sing, Though To Be Fair, His Voice Did " Improve " As Time Went On..." Discovered " By Philadelphia Record-Man Bob Marcucci, Fabian Was Signed To The CHANCELLOR Label.One May Wonder Why I Gave This Top Marks ( 5 Stars )First, As Most Always, This Compilation Covers All Of Fabian's ( Many ) Chart Hits, As Well As Some Of The More Obscure, So The Issuing Outlet Isn't Trying To Get You To Buy More ( ie: Volume 6,254 From CAPITOL For Steve Miller)The Other Reason, Is The Great " Over-Coverage " By Arranger / Producer Peter Di Angeles ( Who Also Co-Owned CHANCELLOR Records With Marcucci )The Instruments / Percussion Kept Pace With Fabian's Vocals, And Blended Enough In The Mix To Feature " Vocals "While Not Putting The Poor Man Right Out In Front Without The Strong Orchestration And Backround Vocals.All In All, Fabian " Played The Game " Took The Flak, Got On With It, And Sold A Lot Of Records.He Is Genuinely A Nice Guy., And It Took A Lot To Put Up With The Constant , And Almost Daily Criticism." I Never Really Did Take It All Seriously "Fabian Finally Left Marcucci " Because He'd Tried To Put The Make On Me "" It Happened So Many Times, I Finally Bought-Out My Own Contract, And That Cost Me Big Time "Arriving In Los Angeles, Fabian Enrolled In Acting Classes, And Actually Appeared In Several Major Films...He Did A Pretty Good Job With His Part In " Mister Hobbs Takes A Vacation " With Jimmy Stewart.**As " Joe " His Acting Isn't Bad ( The Early Beard-Stubble Was Not The Fashion Then )He Sings A Corny Song Or Two ( A Duet With The Actress Featured In " Summer Holiday " Lauri Peters )Fabian Also Has Appeared In Several Television Series ( As A Guest Star )CHANCELLOR Records Certainly Had Another Huge Recording" Star " And That Was Frankie Avalon ( Avallone )" Frankie Had Already Been With RCA Victor, And Was A Member Of Rocco And His Saints "After Frankie Avalon And Fabian Had Their Run, CHANCELLOR Records Had One More Big Chart Hit In 1962 -" Party Lights " As By Claudine Clark." They Even Released An LP By Her, And That Was It "" Johnny Burnette Came To CHANCELLOR, But He Never Had The Successes He'd Had At LIBERTY Records "** Just For Embellishment...While Watching " Mister Hobbs Takes A Vacation " Take Your Eyes Off The Actors For A Moment...The Scenes At The Yacht Club Include The " House Band " Up On The Stage...Look Closely At The Front Man... It's Herb Alpert ! ( Un-Credited )Carl ( Rivingtons )" He Was Just An Average Horn-Blower Back Then, And He Wasn't That Good, But Somehow, He's Up There In That Film And That's Before " The Lonely Bull " And The Rest Of It "A Good CD From A Good Sport... Oh Well...

Very good

Early Rocker. Some great rock & roll tracks with 'Tiger' being the pick.I enjoyed the cd & would say it is a must for true rock & roll fans

Très bon produit à un très bon prix. Je vous recommande ce produit qui est en passant un album très complet de l’artiste avec en question avec un son original. Pour tous les bons collectionneurs de musiques souvenirs.
