One of the greatest voices of rock 'n' roll. R.I.P.

What a voice. So glad he shared it with us.

Brilliant, timeless, an absolute American musical Icon.

Frankie was so good he was still getting young groupies till the day he died!

one of the best gone rest in peice will be missed not to many left

Frankie had his own club in NOLA, very near to Bourbon Street. He put on a PHENOMENAL show...my husband Ric remembers one particular: a fave set, using Jesus Christ Superstar. Ford sang all the parts, and was a huge draw. Everybody, and I mean everybody - gay, straight and in between....flocked to see him!! Great, warm.. memories. My hubby said he packed 'em in and was a terrific person besides. RIP..and thanks for the music!

We shot an extended interview with Frankie in his home in Gretna. It was to be part of a documentary on Cosimo Matassa and the artists he recorded at his New Orleans studio. Unfortunately, it was not completed. But there is still hope. Perhaps I'll post some more of Frankie. He was a great fine person.

LOVE FRANKIE, HATE LIFE

I love you Frankie

RIP

He was born August 4, 1939, not ‘38.

Frankie was the Jerry Lee of Rock 'n' Roll maybe Better...R.I.P. Frankie....Blessings...Eddie

Maybe a better voice, but couldn't touch Jerry Lee on piano.

@@alanyoung4396 Jerry Lee never copied Professor Longhair's style, which Frankie did.

Jack Dupree, Professor Longhair, Tuts Washington, Archibald, James Booker. They created this New Orleans R&B style, which Frankie tried to copy.

That makes no sense. Is he drunk?

This guy sounds like Joe Biden …
