Freddy CannonFreddy Cannon, born December 4, 1940, is an American rock and roll singer. Born Frederick Anthony Picariello in Revere, Massachusetts, he grew up in the North Boston suburb of Lynn. He learned to play 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 master 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 ten hits. A resident of Tarzana, California, Freddy Cannon continues to put on a rollicking performance at assorted concert venues. Partial discography (singles): - Tallahassee Lassie
