Cuddy said that Cannon was scheduled to interview with DJ Cousin Brucie Morrow on July 11, however he was taken to the hospital a day before the appearance. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe rocker, who was nicknamed Freddy \u201cBoom Boom\u201d Cannon, was born on Dec. 4, 1936, in Lynn, Massachusetts, where he started his music career. An early recording of the soon-to-be hit track \u201cTallahassee Lassie\u201d intrigued Dick Clark. He and his wife, Jeanette, then moved moved to Philadelphia in his late teens, partly thanks to Clark who urged him to do so. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe track later came out in 1959, peaking at No. 6 on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100; it became Cannon\u2019s first song to grace the Billboard charts. One year later, he appeared on Clark\u2019s <em>American Bandstand<\/em> for this first time. Cannon went on to appear on the weekly dance show a multitude of times over the years, with a record-setting 110 apperances.  <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3862\">BAFTA Student Award Winners Include Young Filmmakers From Spain, France, China and America<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPalisades Park\u201d was released in 1962, becoming his highest charing track (it landed at No. 3).
