Freddy Cannon - Abigail Beecher

Back


Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon (born Frederick Anthony Picariello, December 4, 1940, in the North Boston suburb of Lynn, Massachusetts) is an American rock and roll singer. He learned to play the guitar as a boy and in high school formed a band. Singing vocals, he emulated the hard-driving style of singing star Little Richard. Picariello eventually signed with Swan Records in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a recording studio in which music promoter Dick Clark had an interest, and who brought him national exposure through numerous appearances on the television program, American Bandstand. In 1959 and the early 1960s, singing under the stage name, Freddy Cannon, and dubbed "Boom Boom" because of his thundering musical renditions, he had three Top 10 hits. He played himself, and performed one of his songs, in the final episode of the teen soap opera, Never Too Young, on 24 June 1966. Freddy recorded a single with The Belmonts in 1981, entitled "Let's Put the Fun Back in Rock and Roll", for MiaSound Records. The record charted for four weeks, peaking at #81 on Billboard. Cannon and The Belmonts appeared on Solid Gold and other shows to promote the single. They were also featured in the soundtrack of the 1982 independent movie, The Junkman.
