===1956: "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" success=== Goldner signed the group to [[Gee Records]], and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" became its first single in January 1956. The single peaked at No. 6 on the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' [[Hot 100|pop singles chart]], and topped the ''Billboard'' [[R&B singles chart]] for five weeks. Four other top 10 R&B singles followed over the next year or so: "[[I Want You to Be My Girl]]", "[[I Promise to Remember]]", "[[Who Can Explain?]]" (the B side of "[[I Promise to Remember]]" but which charted on its own), "[[The ABC's of Love]]", and "[[I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent]]". "I Want You To Be My Girl" gave the band its second pop hit, reaching No. 13 on the national Billboard Hot 100 chart. "[[Goody Goody]]" (written by Matty Malneck and Johnny Mercer and originally performed by Benny Goodman) was a No. 20 pop hit but did not appear on the R&B chart. The Teenagers placed two other singles in the lower half of the pop chart. With the release of "I Want You To Be My Girl", the group's second single, the Teenagers became Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers. However, the album that mostly compiled the singles released in 1956 came out under the older name: ''[[The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon]]''.
