THEN & NOW | Tiger Beat Teen Idols of the 1970's

THEN and NOW | Here's just a few of the "Tiger Beat" magazine teen idols of the 1970's.

Davy Jones was a little older than most teen idols, but he still had all the charm. He gained fame as one of the Monkees. With hit songs and a TV show, it's no wonder why Jones became one of the first teen idols to usher in the 1970s.
Bobby Sherman could sing, he could act, and he was good looking. That's all he needed to ascend to teen idol status in the late-'60s and early-'70s. Between 1962 and 1976, he released a staggering 107 songs.
John Travolta's role as Vinnie Barbarino on Welcome Back, Kotter helped him land a few covers in the mid-'70s. He ascended from teen heartthrob status to mega stardom a couple years later with starring roles in Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Out of all the teen heartthrobs of the '70s, Travolta became by far the most successful.
Shaun Cassidy, the younger half-brother of David Cassidy, Shaun became a teen idol in his own right in the 1970s by recording a few hit singles and appearing on The Hardy Boys Mysteries.
Leif Garrett... Would it be easy to live with Leif Garrett? That's what the magazine asked girls in 1976. After a role on the short-lived drama Three for the Road in 1975, Garrett was a fixture on Tiger Beat covers for the rest of the decade. He had a modest music career too, but mostly fell off the scene once the '80s began.
If teen heartthrobs in the 1970s had a king, it would be Donny Osmond. Girls swooned for his squeaky-clean image, angelic vocal and wholesome good looks. He sang, he danced, he acted... What more could girls want?! To this day, we're not quite sure teens ever fell out of love with Donny. He continues to tour with his sister Marie, and the two of them even have a residency in Las Vegas.
Although David Cassidy was known as Keith Partridge on The Partridge Family, his fame rapidly eclipsed that of the series during the early 1970s. He released five solo albums during the show, and sold out venues like the Houston Astrodome, Madison Square Garden, and Wembley Stadium.
As the 1970s came to a close, a new heartthrob came on the scene — Happy Days' Scott Baio. His boyish charm (and wild ways, according to this Tiger Beat cover) were enough to land him several covers before the decade was up. His popularity continued in the 1980s, when he starred in the spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi. Thanks to the staff of Me tv for much of the content here!
