Mr. Marketing himself Dick Clark löysi tämän "laulajan" jolle annettiin inhottavia liikanimiä kuten Marketing Product ja Manufactured Idol eihän sellaisia enää nykyään pois se meistä
Laulajanuran loputtua yhtä nopeasti kuin se alkoikin Fabian yritti vielä esiintyä elokuvissa mutta näyttelijätaidot ei olennaisesti eronneet laulutaidoista
Sitten on vielä tuo ikuisuuskysymys onko se väärin että levyillä on voimakkaasti muokattua ääntä ainahan voi sanoa että kuluttaja ostaa vain kuluttajalle marketoidun tuotteen ja myöhempinä aikoina 80-luvulla myytiin jopa levyjä joissa oli aivan eri laulajat kuin levykannessa
Fabian January 17, 1959 (Dick Clark show)http://www.youtube.com/v/sfkpH2zcQgc?version=3&autohide=1&start=171https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkpH2zcQgc&feature=youtu.be&t=171Forte rose to national prominence after performing several times on American Bandstand. He became a teen idol of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
"Marcucci then gave Fabian a song written by Mort Shuman and Doc Pomus, "I'm a Man" which Fabian later said he "liked a lot and was very comfortable with, was giving me more experience, but I still felt like a fish out of water.” The song made the top 40.
Marcucci then heavily promoted Fabian's next single, "Turn Me Loose" using a series of advertisements saying "Fabian Is Coming", then "Who is Fabian"?" then finally "Fabian is Here". It worked and "Turn Me Loose" went into the Top Ten, peaking at number 9. This was later followed by "Hound Dog Man", (US #9; UK #46), and his biggest hit, "Tiger",[9] which reached #3 on the US charts. Other singles that charted included "String Along", "About This Thing Called Love" and "This Friendly World", which reached #12 on the US charts. At 15, he won the Silver Award as "The Promising Male Vocalist of 1958."
In 1959 Forte told a judge he was earning $250,000 a year.
During the
payola scandal of the 1960s, Forte testified before Congress that his recordings had been doctored electronically to "significantly improve his voice."
