Copyright problem[edit]

In this edit, material was introduced to this article from [1]. Other material added in that edit may also be unusable (see CCI). The article either needs to be rewritten to remove content from this contributor or restored to the version prior to the copyvio. I've blanked the article to give interested contributors an opportunity to determine how best this should be resolved. It will be revisited by an administrator after about a week. If a new version is not presented, restoration to earlier is likely. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 03:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that the article be returned to this version (as at 9 January 2009) for the time being - editors can then add new non-copyvio information from a "clean" base, but at least we have something to work from. Ghmyrtle (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article now rewritten. Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:49, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place[edit]

Cannon was born in Revere, Ma. Please see his web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.171.66 (talk) 13:07, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple sources suggest that you are correct. The change was made in this unexplained edit, which - sadly - has gone unchallenged for almost five years. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:48, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah but his website also says he was born in 1940 and married his bride in 1956 when he was 15 and she was 2 years younger than he was... Freddy's own sister has confirmed his 1936 birthdate. As for his birthplace, he could have been born in Revere, Suffolk County... but his parents lived in Essex county before he was born and after (perhaps he was just "born" elsewhere)... it's all metro Boston, anyway... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6011:5F3C:2D00:5587:C1EA:CCAE:CB6 (talk) 04:40, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link rot[edit]

Source of Boom-Boom[edit]

I don't think it's entirely correct to say that Freddy Cannon got the nickname "Boom-Boom" because of the "thumping power of his recordings." He got that monicker because his (stage) name was Cannon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.227.52.197 (talk) 21:32, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year[edit]

Frederick Picariello Jr. was aged 3 in the 1940 census, indicating (given his uncontested date of birth) that he was born in 1936, not 1940 - ^[1]. Some sources date his birth to 1939 or 1940, but these appear to be in error. Editors wishing to discuss this - rather than simply reverting - are welcome to do so here. It's perfectly possible to indicate more than one date in the article if there is genuine uncertainty, but I'm very reluctant to compromise with editors who refuse to discuss the question.
