Trivia
Rock-and-roll folklore has it that Fabian was sitting on his front porch stairs in acute despair over his family's extreme poverty and health problems when he was approached by two music promoters, Robert P. Marcucci and Peter De Angelis, and asked if he wanted to be a pop star.
Father of screenwriter Christian Forte (Albino Alligator) and Julie Forte, an animator.
His initial records didn't click, but appearances on Dick Clark's New American Bandstand 1965 made him a huge overnight success.
Occasionally tours with former pop stars Frankie Avalon and Bobby Rydell, calling themselves "The Golden Boys." He also stars in his own show called "Fabian's Good Time Rock 'N' Roll."
Posed nude for "Playgirl" magazine in 1973, but regretted the attempt for renewed publicity, claiming he looked "fat and stupid."
