Turn Me Loose
Fabian Lyrics
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
This is the first time I have felt this way
Gonna get a thousand kicks or kiss a thousand chicks
So turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Gonna rock'n'roll long as the band's gonna play
Gonna holler, gonna shout, gonna knock myself right out
So turn me loose (turn me loose, ooh-ahh)
Takin' some chick-a to the picture show
And when I see her home and we kiss goodnight
Well, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn meloose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Yes, today is gonna, is gonna be the day
I want you all to understand, now I am a man
So turn me loose (turn me loose, ooh-ahh)
I've got some change in my pocket and I'm rarin' to go
Takin' some chick-a to the picture show
And when I see her home and we kiss goodnight
Well, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn me loose, turn meloose
Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
Yes, today is gonna, is gonna be the day
I want you all to understand, now I am a man
So turn me loose (turn me loose, ooh-ahh)

abian was discovered in 1957 by Bob Marcucci and Peter DeAngelis, owners of Chancellor Records. At the time, record producers were looking to the South Philadelphia neighborhoods in search of teenage talents with good looks, and Frankie Avalon, also of South Philly, suggested Fabian as a possibility.
With songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Fabian released a series of hit singles for Chancellor Records including "I'm a Man", "Hound Dog Man", a #9 hit in the U.S., "Turn Me Loose" (U.S. #9), and his biggest hit, "Tiger", which reached number 3 in the U.S. charts. Other singles that charted included "String Along", "About This Thing Called Love" and "This Friendly World", which reached #12 on the U.S. charts.
His career in music basically ended after he bought out of his contract with Marcucci after signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. During the payola scandal of the 1960s, Fabian testified before Congress that his recordings had been doctored electonically to significantly improve his voice.
2) Fabian Ordorica of Los Angeles. Churning out heavy apocalyptic electro powerhouses and pop gems alike, Fabian is a multi-talented musician and producer. His songs are heavy, dark, and taking dance music in an entirely new direction. His live show is entirely original productions strung together in a non-stop, melt your face revolution. He promises to get any group of people in front of him dancing until their clothes are soaked. Since his productions are original, his live set will never get stale, and promises to get the interest of anyone seeing him play. He is a member of the Binary Family, a fast rising label of electronic musicians in Los Angeles.
3) Fabian Feyaerts is the Belgian representative at Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
4) FABIAN is about
body symbolism, pop ambivalences,
classical tunes of rock history and groove.
Based in Leipzig FABIAN started in 2013.
Die Band um Sängerin Maria6668 verwandelt pulsierende Texturen in präzise Rhythmen und spielt sich dabei durch unterschiedlichste musikalische Stilistik. Schöne Melodiebögen werden auf nahezu ironische Art und Weise gebrochen und tauchen fast unbemerkt in einem neuen musikalischen Kontext wieder auf.

This song is a good reminder that during the so-called Golden Age of Rock n Roll,not all music was Little Richard,Buddy Holly,or Elvis. Fabian epitomises the "pretty face " genre of singer that was around in those days,with Frankie Avalon and a whole lot of other one hit wonders. Thanks for posting this song.

Fabien had the hair, the turned up collar, the hollywood smile and the Elvis presentation of a song how could he not be a hit......great song.

I guess "voice" is not on your list of essentials.

In 1959 I was 8 years old and my older brother would listen to this on the radio, I'm still listening to it today such wonderful memories of the past.

Besides the above "Turn Me Loose", his other two Top 10 records were "Tiger"* {#3 in 1959}, and "Hound Dog Man" {#9, also 1959}...
Fabian, born Fabiano Anthony Forte, will celebrated his 75th birthday last month on February 6th {2018}...
* And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the two weeks that "Tiger" was at #3, the #1 record was "Lonely Boy" by Paul Anka and at #2 was "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton for both those weeks...
In addition, the following month on April 18th he performed "Turn Me Loose" on the NBC-TV program 'The Perry Como Show", then one month later on May 24th he performed it again on the CBS-TV program, 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
