Frankie Avalon (born Francis Thomas Avallone; September 18, 1939; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American actor, singer, and former
teen idol.

By the time he was 12, Avalon was on U.S. television for his trumpet, and as a teenager, played with Bobby Rydell in Rocco and the Saints. In 1959, "Venus" (5 weeks #1) and "Why" went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. "Why" was the last #1 of the 1950s. Avalon had 31 charted Billboard U.S. singles from 1958 to late 1962, including "Just Ask Your Heart" (U.S. #7), "I'll Wait For You" (U.S. #15), "Bobby Sox to Stockings" (U.S. #8), and "A Boy Without a Girl" (U.S. #10), most hits written and/or produced by Bob Marcucci, head of Chancellor Records.

Teamed frequently with Annette Funicello, Avalon starred in a number of popular "beach" comedy movies during the 1960s. The wholesome and romantic coupling of "Frankie and Annette" in summer movies such as Beach Party and Beach Blanket Bingo became iconic figures in American films during that era.

Avalon also had straight dramatic parts in the John Wayne historical western film The Alamo as well as the science-fiction story Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) with Barbara Eden.

Materializing as a character called Teen Angel, his performance of "Beauty School Dropout" in the smash-hit 1978 film of the musical Grease introduced Frankie to a new generation of viewers.
In 1987 Avalon and Annette Funicello returned to movies with Back to the Beach. Not long afterwards, Funicello was diagnosed with MS, and retired.

Afterwards, Avalon turned to marketing and created Frankie Avalon Products, a line of health and cosmetic aids. Avalon promotes his products on the Home Shopping Network with host Bob Circosta.

He made a cameo appearance as himself with Robert DeNiro in the 1995 film Casino.

In recent years, Avalon has starred in stage productions of Grease in the role of Teen Angel (a role he played in the 1978 film adaptation) and Tony n' Tina's Wedding as a characterized version of himself. Additionally, in 2007, he performed "Beauty School Dropout" with the four remaining female contenders (Kathleen Monteleone, Allie Schulz, Ashley Spencer, and winner Laura Osnes) for the role of Sandy on the NBC television reality show Grease: You're the One that I Want!.

On April 8, 2009, he performed on American Idol.

Fabian (born Fabiano Anthony Forte on February 6, 1942; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a former American teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. In total, he charted 11 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

With songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Fabian released a series of hit singles for Chancellor Records including "I'm a Man," "Hound Dog Man"(a #9 hit in the U.S.), "Turn Me Loose" (U.S. #9), and his biggest hit, "Tiger," which reached number 3 in the U.S. charts.

Fabian went on to appear in more than 30 films, including Five Weeks in a Balloon, High Time, Ten Little Indians, North to Alaska, The Longest Day and Ride the Wild Surf (1964) (with Tab Hunter). Most of his early films were comedies, and cast him as a restless teenager with a penchant for singing.

Bobby Rydell (born Robert Louis Ridarelli on April 26, 1942; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American teen idol from the early 1960s era of rock and roll. According to Allmusic music journalist, Kim Summers, "Rydell is one of the most sought-after nightclub and concert acts in the U.S., and his interest in show business began at the age of four. His performance in Bye Bye Birdie and his recordings "Wild One" and "Volare" made him a famous performer in the 1960s. Rydell used his talents as an impersonator and drummer mostly in pursuing a musical rather than an acting career."

His second hit "We Got Love" was his first million seller, gaining gold disc status. "Wild One", backed with "Little Bitty Girl," was his second million-selling disc in 1959; followed by further gold disc honours for "Ding-a-Ling," backed with "Swingin' School," plus "Volare" the following year. After making his first hit recordings, he pursued a solo career, performing at the Copacabana in New York in 1961, where he was an instant hit. In February 1961 he appeared at the Festival du Rock, at the Palais des Sports de Paris in Paris, France.

In 1963, he portrayed Hugo Peabody in the movie version of Bye Bye Birdie with Ann Margret and Dick Van Dyke.

During the 1960s, Rydell had numerous hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. These included his most popular hit, 1960's "Wild One" (his highest charting single, it reached #2). Other songs included, "Volare" (#4), "Swingin' School" (#5), "Kissin' Time" (#11), "Sway" (#14), "I've Got Bonnie" (#18) and "The Cha-Cha-Cha" (#10). His last major chart hit was "Forget Him" (which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963), just before the British Invasion hit the American music industry. The song was his fifth and final gold disc winner.
