Born in Harlem, New York, his father was a truck driver, Lewis (or sometimes called Louie) was exposed to music at an early age, as his father was a participant in a vocal group. After Frankie found fame with the Teenagers, Lewis responded to his brother's success by forming the Teenchords. They landed a contract with the Fury Records (2) label and released the single "I'm So Happy" (1956). The following year (1957) at the height of their popularity, they were a featured act at the Apollo Theater and had a performance in the motion picture "Jamboree!" (1957). After the Teenchords disbanded, Lymon joined The Townsmen and sang lead vocals on the single "I Can't Go" (1961), which he co-wrote. During the 1960s, he left the entertainment arena to serve with the United States Military during the Vietnam War and upon his return home, he joined the oldies touring circuit of the 1970s. In 2003, Lyman reformed The Teenagers (replacing Frankie who died in 1968) with the surviving members.
