Frank Fafara’s rise to regional teen idol stardom began in Phoenix, AZ, in the late 1950s. The handsome heartthrob quickly caught the attention of Connie Conway’s MCI Records, which issued his first two singles in 1960. Frank then signed with Phoenix music impresario Jack Curtis’s Mascot Records for a string of releases, earning regional chart-toppers that landed him on stages with national acts like the Everly Brothers, Brenda Lee, and Del Shannon.

In 1964, Frank recorded his tune “One Kiss to Remember,” but the song never found a release. Forty-two years later, Frank finally issued the song on his 2006 retrospective CD, Only in My Dreams, via Comstock Records. Today, Frank’s amazing back catalog resides at Fervor Records, where it has taken on a vibrant new life. His classics have been featured in hit shows like American Horror Story, The Boys, and Homeland. We can now chalk up another win for Frank: “One Kiss to Remember” appears in Season 1, Episode 2 of the MGM+ crime drama, The Westies.
