His real name was Fabiano Anthony Forte, but everybody knew him as simply Fabian.

He was one of the original Teen Idols in the day and age of Paul Anka, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon and others.  He scored 11 Top 40 hits with his biggest song, "Tiger," reaching #6 on the charts.  By 1959 he was making $250,000 a year and was still not twenty years old!

Fabian made many memorable appearances on the Dick Clark American Bandstand Show.
