April 1, 2023 Records of the Day

If you’re a record company and want to conjure up another Elvis, you couldn’t do better than what Chancellor Records did with Fabian. Who cares if he’s not a great singer? Just give him one name and the looks of Elvis and the result will be a teen idol. It worked. Fabian was one of the most popular and successful teen idols of the day. His biggest hit, “Tiger,” can now sell for $50.00 with its picture sleeve. In 1962 Chancellor Records released the album, “16 Fabulous Hits,” by Fabian. A copy can get you $125.00 today.
