Long, long, long before there were singing teen idols like the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber, there was Frankie Avalon.
Note: To fully appreciate the featured song, you may check out the video and see for yourself how Frankie Avalon captured the hearts of the girls he sang to. Or you can listen to the music itself and be melted by his voice.
Featured song: "Venus" by Frankie Avalon [1959] (Adult Contemporary)
Frankie Avalon was born on September 18, 1939, which makes him 70 years old as of today. When he was a young adult, he captured and broke many hearts of girls when he sang or appeared on screen. Not only is Frankie Avalon a good singer, but he is also a good actor, and a dreamy heartthrob - well, especially during that time.
The song "Venus" has made its mark in the music industry, and has sometimes been recognized as one of the best songs of the 1950s. This song, however, is not the only song that Frankie Avalon has released as he has other well known songs such as "Cupid," "Why," "Beauty School Dropout," "Tuxedo Junction," "A Boy Without a Girl," and many more.
In case you are wondering as to how on earth I was introduced to this song, I think it was through my grandfather's collection of vinyl records. ;)
Although I do love Frankie Avalon's dreamy voice, I must say I love the lyrics of the song. Most people I know go through a lot of heartbreak, especially girls who have trouble finding guys who will stay. Check out the lyrics below:

Lyrics:
Hey, Venus
Oh, Venus
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus
Oh, Venus
Make my wish come true
