 As the lead singer of the Teenagers, Lyman became the first teen rock and roll idol in 1956 at the tender age of 13. But his roller coaster life and career ended just 12 years later with a heroin overdose in Harlem in 1968. Several years after that, a tombstone popped up in the window at Ronnie I's Clifton Music Store on Main Avenue with a sign proclaiming it to be Lyman's official headstone.
