Frankie Lymon
Franklin Joseph Lymon (September 30, 1942 – February 27, 1968) was an American rock and roll/rhythm and blues singer and songwriter, best known as the boy soprano lead singer of the New York City-based early rock and roll doo-wop group the Teenagers. The group was composed of five boys, all in their early to mid-teens. The original lineup of the Teenagers, an integrated group, included three African-American members, Lymon, Jimmy Merchant, and Sherman Garnes; and two Puerto Rican members, Joe Negroni and Herman Santiago. The Teenagers' first single, 1956's " Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest hit. After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and that of the Teenagers fell into decline. In 1968, Lymon was found dead at the age of 25 on the floor of his grandmother's bathroom from a heroin overdose. Lymon was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 as a member of the Teenagers. His life was dramatized in the 1998 film '' Why D ...

The Piano Lesson
''The Piano Lesson'' is a 1987 play by American playwright August Wilson. It is the fourth play in Wilson's ''The Pittsburgh Cycle''. Wilson began writing this play by playing with the various answers regarding the possibility of "acquir nga sense of self-worth by denying one's past".Bryer, Jackson R.; Hartig Mary C. ''Conversations with August Wilson'', p.25. ''The Piano Lesson'' received the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and earned five nominations at the 44th Tony Awards. A Romare Bearden painting, ''The Piano Lesson'', inspired Wilson to write a play featuring a strong female character to confront African-American history, paralleling Troy in earlier '' Fences''. However, on finishing his play, Wilson found the ending to stray from the empowered female character as well as from the question regarding self-worth. What ''The Piano Lesson'' finally seems to ask is: "What do you do with your legacy, and how do you best put it to use?" Set in 1936 Pittsburgh during the afte ...
