He should be in the Hall Of Fame. No doubt about it Posted by Terry Valliant on Monday, 07/26/2021 @ 18:08pm |
Did Freddy Cannon sing "Palisades Park"? Or was that another guy named Freddy? Posted by Brian Schonour on Monday, 10/18/2021 @ 17:51pm |
Yes, Brian. Freddy Cannon sang Palisades Park. He also sang Tallahassee Lassie. Posted by Johnny on Monday, 10/18/2021 @ 18:24pm |
Coming from that era, of course it's unforgivable. That Freddie Cannon isn't recognized. He was a mainstay. I also like the idea of inducting Jack Scott. His songs were very much embraced by the 50s/60s generation. Those in charge today can't relate. Posted by Al columbus on Saturday, 10/23/2021 @ 07:51am |
RRHOF guys are u kidding me? u inducted percy sledge who i do not recall even had 1 r&r song! freddy boom boom cannon must be inducted. listen to talahasie lassie, its pure r&r song, sounds like a roling stones song Posted by sharonhamama on Thursday, 02/10/2022 @ 11:59am |
Not having Freddy Cannon in the RRHOF is not only a shame, it borders on criminal. He's one of the true pioneers of the genre. Posted by Bob Boisselle on Monday, 05/23/2022 @ 10:38am |
For all of the reasons above, plus after over 60 years I'm still listening to him. Posted by Kenneth purwin on Tuesday, 06/7/2022 @ 14:18pm |
An enjoyable fun singer but not hall of fame worthy to be absolutely honest. There are many more deserving musicians queuing up before Freddy Cannon. Posted by Downward pressure on Friday, 08/12/2022 @ 19:46pm |
