Born in 1917, Frankie left his native New Orleans at the age of 12 and took his guitar to Marshall in East Texas where his cousin Sam Hopkins was making a name for himself. The kid played his guitar for tips, but when WWII came along, he was drafted. On his return from duty with the Marines, Frankie settled in Dallas and began playing the local club scene, often in the company of Smokey Hogg. Frankie’s solo recordings on the Blue Bonnet label had some regional success, but when he signed for the Specialty label in 1953, his ‘Lucy Mae’ was a national chart hit. Texas Blues was enjoying success on the West Coast, but Frankie’s follow-ups did not repeat that initial impact when he moved there, and neither did his recordings on the Ace and Fire labels in the late 50s. Hard rocking tunes like ‘Walking with Frankie’ and ‘ She Likes to Boogie Real Low’ were great songs, but failed to find a market and he returned to Dallas around 1960.
