Frankie Lymon
Fun Fact
In 1981 a major controversy concerning Lymon’s estate ensued. Zola Taylor, Elizabeth Waters and Emira Eagle each approached Morris Levy, the producer, label owner and mobbed-up self- described music impresario who retained possession of Lymon’s copyrights and his royalties (and stole from hundreds of other artists). Problem was that each of the women were claiming to be Lymon’s rightful widow and … (wait for it) … Lymon had neglected to divorce any of them. The complex issue resulted in lawsuits and counter-lawsuits, and in 1986 the first of several court cases concerning the ownership of Lymon’s estate began. Watch the movie Why Do Fools Fall In Love to understand the entire mess.
