Who is Frankie Sabath?

Frankie Sabath began his musical career as a professional entertainer at age sixteen performing for The Kids From Ponce, a Puerto Rican singing group from the 1960s whose popularity soared through their many television and live appearances at home and abroad.

After three years performing with such producers as Luis Vigoreaux, Tommy Muniz and Paquito Cordero, the group disbanded but three of its members went on as soloists: singer and later photographer, Jose Manuel, the well-known Puerto Rican female vocalist Ednita Nazario, and Sabath himself.

Sabath had a very successful career as a headliner with numerous TV appearances and the release of two hit songs: "Se Te Hizo Tarde" and "Cuando Me Pidas Perdon". He decided to move to the United States and made his American debut in 1985, performing at the behest of his friend Ernesto Tarre for the Hispanic-American Queen of the Flowers pageant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Surrounded by his bodyguards and other security staff members, he performed riveting musical interpretations. The audience's response, with over twelve hundred people, spoke for itself. They knew he was more than a singer: he was a performer.
