| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on his "Beach Party" movies] They weren't great pictures, but they were fun, and they really represented that period of time well. |
| 2 | Well, we all age, but I'd been taking herbal supplements for a long time. |
| 3 | When I started to play trumpet I was fortunate to learn very quickly. |
| 4 | Yes, but I don't think of the Teen Angel as of an age. |
| 5 | I think today's music absolutely stinks. I really do mean that. |
| 6 | I'll be 65 in September and I work as much as I want to, take cruises with Kay, relax with my family, do everything in moderation, because I want to enjoy my life. |
| 7 | I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't use it. |
| 8 | I wish I could talk to [Annette Funicello], but she doesn't even correspond at this point. |
| 9 | I've been around two years shy of 50 years doing what I do. I am a musician. |
| 10 | It captures a lot of the spirit of the '50s. |
| 11 | Rocco paid me 35 bucks a week at Murray's Inn in South Jersey. People started asking Rocco to have me sing. |
| 12 | No sooner [did I] take it seriously [then] I had million-selling hits and movies with John Wayne. |
| 13 | I was not a trained actor. |
| 14 | The kids have all seen it on DVD or videotape. |
| 15 | Kids know me from their Grease (1978) DVD, so they instantly respond. You can hear a pin drop when I do my old songs. |
| 16 | [about touring in his "oldies" shows] I like that because the fans want to see onstage what they know so well from the big screen. |
| 17 | These kids today, everything is about hitting a vocal home run. They look for the top note in every song. They don't know what they're singing about. They have no style. |
| 18 | God's delay is not God's denial. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Born in South Philadelphia. |
| 2 | Due to the popularity of Grease (1978) and its soundtrack, he considers "Beauty School Dropout" to be his most popular song. |
| 3 | He had the last #1 hit of the 1950s with the ballad,"Why". |
| 4 | Discovered by Robert P. Marcucci. |
| 5 | He met Michael Wayne's wife, Gretchen Wayne (aka Gretchen Diebel), on the set of the John Wayne film The Alamo (1960), in which he had a part. Four years later he married beauty pageant winner Kathryn Diebel, Gretchen's sister. So he is part of the extended John Wayne family. |
| 6 | Has a house in the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California. |
| 7 | His sister Theresa is two years older than he is. |
| 8 | He sang the song "These Are The Good Times" in both the movie Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) and when he guest-starred in The Patty Duke Show (1963) in 1965. |
| 9 | Mother, Mary Avallone was born July 3, 1916; father, Nicholas Avallone was born April 27, 1913. Sister, Theresa Avallone. |
| 10 | He studied acting with Wynn Handman in New York and Estelle Harmon in Los Angeles. |
| 11 | He and his wife have eight children and they are, in order of age, Frank Burt Avalon, Tony, Dina, Laura, Joseph, Nicolas, Kathryn and Carla. |
