Perhaps best known for his roles in a series of 1960s musical films about young people on the beach, pop singer Frankie Avalon was also an important part of the Philadelphia sound of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He had hits like ÒDede DinahÓ and his smash ÒVenusÓ during this period; later Avalon concentrated more on film and television, appearing in the 1978 film musical Grease, and guesting on shows like Fantasy Island. In 1987, he reunited with his beach movie partner Annette Funicello to make the comedy musical Back to the Beach.
