FREDDY CANNON’S MUSIC IS FEATURED
IN THE # 1 MOVIE IN THE U.S.A.
The highest grossing movie in the country last weekend (June 4-6, 2011) was the super hero prequel “X-Men: First Class,” bringing in over $55 million in its first week of release and the soundtrack includes a 60s smash by rocker Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon.
A part of the movie’s timeline is 1962. When the film’s director, Matthew Vaughn, was given a list of hit songs from that year he chose Freddy’s version of “Palisades Park.”
Cannon said “Of all the great tunes released in 1962, it is such a honor that Matthew chose mine to represent that era. My wife, Jeanette, and I went to see the movie on opening day and we were completely blown away when we discovered they didn’t just use a small portion of the song, but they played the entire record, which is about 2 minutes.”
“Palisades Park,” written by game show host Chuck Barris, peaked at # 3 on the Billboard charts. Cannon first performed the song on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand,” which Freddy holds the record for the artist with the most appearances (110 times).
Cannon is currently writing his life story with author Mark Bego, a best selling author of biographies on rock stars. He has written over 50 of them. The book is tentatively titled “Where the Action Is,” and is slated to be published late this year.
In addition to touring many weekends throughout the year, Cannon now draws.
He has completed pencil drawings of many of his colleagues in the music
business which can be seen on this website.
Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon celebrates his 42nd anniversary as an internationally known rock and roller.
Born in Revere, Massachusetts, people began calling him "Boom Boom" because of his driving beat, the "whoos" that he would yell on his records and because his name was Cannon. In 1959 Freddy recorded a song that his mother had written called Tallahassee Lassie. It soared to the Top Ten of the "Billboard Hot 100 Chart". The song marked the first of 22 songs by Freddy to appear on the Billboard Chart.
A singer-songwriter-guitarist, Freddy has enjoyed a sensational nearly- four decades pumping out that "Booming Beat" for audiences. In recent years, he has averaged 125-150 concerts annually across the world; including stops at Disneyland and Madison Square Garden. He is probably most famous for his early appearances on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand". Few fans realize that Freddy holds the record for the most appearances by a performer on "American Bandstand" (110 times). And although Dick has retired from hosting the syndicated show, Freddy continues to work with Dick on the road many times each year when he hosts one of his Bandstand reunion concerts.
