567. Freddy Cannon

While other Rock stars tried to play it safe in the late 50’s and early 60’s, Freddy Cannon did what he could to stay true to the Rock and Roll spirit. His music was fun, loud and full of energy and though he had the good looks of any other teen idol of his era, he really wasn’t in the same vein. Cannon may not have been the most talented man in Rock and Roll, but he may have loved it the most and that could one day count for something within the Hall.
