Francis Thomas Avallone was born September 18, 1940. He was encouraged to perform from the time he was a child, beginning from when he was tutored on the trumpet by his father. Avalon first performed at the CR Club, an extension of Palumbo's restaurant. The CR Club was a private affair where the owner encouraged parents to bring their children to entertain. In 1952, Avalon was an uninvited performer at a party held for Al Martino, another of Philadelphia's Italian singers. Martino had just signed with Capitol Records and had invited the neighborhood to share in his success. Avalon's trumpet playing caught the eye of a talent scout who arranged for him to appear on Jackie Gleason's CBS-TV show. This led to other appearances on national television. In March, 1954 an instrumental "Trumpet Sorrento" was released on the X label. The cover of his EP suggests he was only 11, which of course wasn't true. In 1954 he was 14. By the age of 18 Frankie had progressed from the young boy with a horn to the teen idol of millions of girls by virtue of his silky voice on Chancellor singles, firmly established in 1959 by the smash hit "Venus".
