Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, the African-American singing sensations of the 1950s, became one of the most popular acts in the fledgling years of rock and roll with such hits as ‘Why Do Fools Fall in Love?’ and ‘I’m Not a Juvenile Delinquent.’ The 13-year-old lead singer, Frankie Lymon (born 1942), became one of the first black teen idols, and, at the height of the group’s success, struck out on his own to pursue a solo career. He never matched his earlier success and, after years of grappling with drug addiction, died of an overdose at the age of 25. Lymon’s AFTRA union P&W benefits card, one page, both sides, 6 x 4, dated March 1, 1960. Pension and Welfare benefit card is filled out by Lymon, printing his full name, “Frankie J. Lymon,” his New York City address, birthdate and Social Security number. Signed at the bottom “Frankie Lymon.” Lymon lists his mother, Jeanette Lymon, as the recipient of his death benefits. Stamped across the front of the card is “Deceased.” A small news clipping reporting Lymon’s death is stapled to reverse, and a new address for Lymon is written in above the first one. Light ink line through first address, a couple small office notations, and staple to left edge, otherwise fine condition.
