Frederick Anthony Picariello, or as he was known to us, Freddy Cannon, was born in Boston in 1940. When he was very young he learned to play a guitar and in high school he formed his own band. As a vocalist, he copied the style of Little Richard. He eventually signed with Swan Records in Philadelphia, a recording studio in which master music promoter Dick Clark had an interest, and who brought him national exposure through numerous appearances on American Bandstand. In 1959 he changed his name to Freddy Cannon, and was dubbed "Boom Boom" because of his thundering musical renditions, he had three Top 10 hits. Freddy also played himself in the final episode of a teen soap opera called Never Too Young in 1966. He now lives in Tarzana, California, and at 67, still continues to perform in concert. I still remember listening to his songs on a little GE transistor radio...those were the days huh?

This photo was taken in 1919 and remains one of the most compelling photographic proofs of ghostly appearances. It is a reunion photo of a British Royal Flying Corps squadron who served together in the First World War. A face can clearly be seen lurking behind the fourth man from the left in the top row. (It has been magnified in the circle.) The face was easily recognized by the aviators as Freddy Jackson, a squadron buddy. The trouble was that Jackson, a mechanic, had been accidentally killed by an airplane propeller two days earlier! Jackson's funeral took place on the very day this photograph was taken.

Hulk Hogan made his WWF debut (yes, it was called the World Wrestling Federation then) in this November 1979 TV match. As the clip shows, Hogan was originally a heel managed by Classy Freddy Blassie. The 26-year-old Hogan barely works up a sweat in this match versus hapless jobber Harry Valdez.
