My uncle, Tommy Devito, was the original band member who put it all together. He passed this year to Covid at the age of 92. The guy was an absolute character!
Sorry to hear about your Uncle
I feel sorry for you about your uncle. Love from argentina
@@lautarorial3880 Sorry to hear that. 1st cassette I ever bought was The Four Seasons story., in 1975 or so when I was 10 ish.
Sorry to hear about Tommy.
💜💯💜🙏
There’s a movie about Frankie and how the 4 seasons came together. “Jersey Boys” is a must watch!
I liked the movie a lot.
@@boki1693 I’ve seen it at least 10 times! The music is just sooo addicting.
The movie is based on the Broadway musical, “Jersey Boys “!!!
Pop is a genre that is much older than this sound.
Pop music is from the early 50’s. Popular songs that were hits and outside of blues, country, R&B, jazz and rock. I would argue that in fact each decade had its pop sounds by the crooners, chanteuses and the singers with the big bands and dance bands of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
@@blasegallo4280 My nephew was one of the Jersey Boys when it first opened on Broadway. He had barely heard of the 4 seasons before then. LOL.
@@hollydeitch1977 I agree. This is one of the groups that transcends what I normally listen to. I mean I usually listen to stuff like Zeppelin but this ....how can you not like the music? And the movie was really interesting. The part about his daughter....:(
Frankie was the original falsetto singer. They've been around a long time. Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Rag Doll, Who Loves You, Walk Like a Man, Working My Way back to You, and many, many more. Fantastic group.
And don't forget "Marlena". :)
Walk like a man is my favorite.
The Night
Valley was the singer for the movie Grease.
All those early/mid 60s hits with the high voices,and Rag Doll is such a sad song it makes me slightly teary. Then their mid-70s comeback with songs like The Night (which I hope gets checked out as well),this one and Who Loves You (Pretty Baby)?
Listen to The Four Seasons "Sherry" "Rag Doll" "Beggin' " and "C'Mon Marrianne" "My Eyes Adored You" Frankie Valli also had the hit "Grease" his falsetto voice is very distinguishable and Brilliant
Might as well add "Walk Like A Man" to that list
And "Big Girls Don't Cry."
And "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" 😍
Please react to ‘Grease Is The Word’
My Eyes Adored You has always been one of my absolute favorite songs.
THEE Frankie Valli is the one sitting on the stool. He was the 2nd one to sing. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are EPIC and have so many hits. You will enjoy every single one of them. They are LEGENDS and ICONS for sure...
The very first band I was introduced to as a child, and thankfully so!
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons will always be one of my favorite bands, and Frankie's voice will always be one of the Greatest!!!
Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi, Joe Long and later Gerry Polci (that voice!) and Don Ciccone, absolute music icons: The Four Seasons!
Which one was the afro guy?
"absolute music icons: The Four Seasons"!
The Drummer who sang lead on this song is Gerry Polci. Has a really good voice.
And he never liked singing lead, can't imagine anyone else doing it
AMBER THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 1976
Lots of people don't credit this singer enough. IT'S THE DRUMMER. Frankie singing back-up and the chorus.
YES YES YES... thank you.
That drummer is Gerry Polci. This is an amazing tune that highlights his vocal talent. It's a shame he didn't sing more lead vocals.
Yes. 😊
Omg.... he was DREAMY 😍🤩
I've been shouting this at my family for years! The talent and musicianship in this song is off the charts.
Frankie Valli is 87 years old and still alive. Anything by them is wonderful: Big Girls Don't Cry, Ragdoll and so many more
Still alive? I could swear I saw Rusty Millio get whacked by those 2 zips from Italy 😁 in season 6 of the Sopranos!
Not only is he still alive but is planning on a fall tour. I saw him year before last and he still sings live during his shows(with the help of a backing track). Still sounds good at 87.
I think Dion is still alive too
Saw him too with my mom. I think he was 83 at the time. Fantastic! Yes, he is a huge icon with an amazing and distinct sound! Of course love Grease (Jay and Amber, you were or have watched the movie Grease and recently reacted to your the One That I Want by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta). My all time favorite though is Who loves You.
K.S have to absolutely agree with you about “Who Loves You” it’s their best song EVER.
2.45 is when Frankie starts to sing.. He's sitting on the bar stool.. Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons are BRILLIANT..
Have a look at 'Sherry', 'Big Girls don't Cry', 'Walk like a man', 'My Eyes Adored you' and there are so many more so many more fabulous songs to choose from..
Best wishes to you both, from Wales.
2:45
Seconded
I believe they meant Sherry
They have to listen to one of these
Frankie was dealing with hearing problems (that were eventually corrected) at the time they recorded this song, so he wasn't confident enough to sing lead on it. He has an amazing voice. Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'bout Me) is one of my personal favorites of theirs.
I graduated from high school in ‘64. This is music I grew up with. Don’t overthink this. It’s a joyous, cheeky song.
If I had a dollar for every time I roller skated to this!!❤😂
Let's get one thing straight right away, Frankie Valli is one of the greatest vocalists who we've ever heard. He is not the center of this song, but he is in an elite class.
True. hands down. but no denying that this song is better suited to the drummers voice. A simpler more straightforward voice. But Perfect for the tune.
Saw him once many years ago in Vegas. Hands down in my top 3 best shows I have ever seen. My 3 favorite songs are: dawn, my eyes adored you, and I love you, baby
"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli is a must. Amber will melt.
Can’t take my eyes off of you is one of the harder songs to sing by Frankie Valli because it goes up four or five steps throughout the whole song.
Frankie Valli and the four seasons were the pre Bee gees!
Fun Fact:. Even Frankie Valli's hits are still the 4 Seasons. That is how close they were as they allowed him to go "solo", especially considering Frankie Valli didn't write the songs.
If you do Can't Take My Eyes Off You, make sure NOT to do the COVER version that a lot of reactors are making the mistake of doing.
YES‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
Gerry Polci's voice is amazing. What a voice. He makes this song.
"Who Loves You" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is in my humble opinion one of the greatest disco songs of all time. The arrangement is incredible and no one can help but dance to it. The first Beatle album ever released in the U.S. back in 1964 had Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons on one side of the album and the Beatles on the other. This was a few months before the Beatles even came to America. The Four Seasons had already had two or three bit hits at the time. Frankie Vallie continues to tour fifty seven years later at Casinos. And he can still hit the high notes!
This is a very unusual 4 Seasons hit because Frankie isn't singing lead, the drummer is. Frankie was the sound of the 4 seasons with his falsetto on most of their hits. I always admired him for serving the song, and putting his ego aside for this one.
I think by this time his hearing loss was really starting to affect his ability
This song is "70s" Four seasons if you go back to 60s Four Seasons their sound is completely different but no matter what decade you choose all Four Seasons is good. Frankie Valli sings the theme for Grease as well ☺
And if you go back to the early 50s, it is completely different.
This song was released about a decade after the Four Seasons were really big. You have to go back to the early to mid 60s to hear their iconic sound.
And yet, this was their biggest hit-by far.
Frankie's falsetto was iconic. They were so big in the 60's. I can remember listening to them on the radio while waiting for the bus. Yes, I am that old.
W hat a great song and reaction. Next “Big girls don’t cry”,and “Walk like a man”. They will not disappoint!
and Sherry
How could i forget about that one 🤦🏼♀️
they are what make them iconic, for sure. Each an amazing song.
SHERRY! :)
Friends and I did "Walk like a man" for a school talent show. Such a fun song.
Frankie is the guy that does the song in the begining of Grease! Grease is the Word!
They gave him the choice of being in the movie or doing the title song. He made the right choice!!
…and Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees wrote it.
This song is not from 1963, it is about a night in December of that year, it was released on December 1, 1975. Frankie Vallie's first record was released in 1953. "Oh What a Night" was a distinct change in sound for the Four Seasons moving them into the Disco era. They were one of few singing groups to successfully transition the eras of Doo-wop, Rock & Roll and Disco.
well said
"That one guy's voice was super unique"... Cue Frankie Valli!!
Other suggested hits: Grease, Sherry, Swearin’ to God, Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You, Let’s Hang On, Who Loves You, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man, Candy Girl, Dawn, My Eyes Adored You and I”m sure there are more that I can’t think of right now.
I LOVE Let’s Hang On, Sherry, and Walk Like A Man. But you can’t ever go wrong with Big Girls Don’t Cry!
Susan! You stole all my suggestions! hahahaha
You forgot Ronnie, Working My Way Back To You, C’mon Marianne, Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye), I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Opus 17 (Don’t You Worry ‘Bout Me).
Let’s hang on. 💕
And The Bee Gees wrote Grease!
This was clearly a seventies song, a great hit after many people had more or less forgotten them. Frankie Valli also later sang title song from Grease.
I was going to mention that Frankie Valli sang the title track to Grease since Amber is such a big fan of the movie, but I was beaten to it.
Got to do the song Grease. The Theme Song that the Bee Gees wrote, Jordan 😉😉
Didn’t he appear in Grease singing the song with the girls with pink hair? Beauty School Dropout!
@@deeturner4557 I'm pretty sure that was Frankie Avalon.
@@deeturner4557 No, that was Frankie Avalon
Frankie Valli is a legend,no one sings like Frankie but they are all great singers in this band !
This is one of the latest of their hits. This came out in the 70's
I can tell you right now; Amber had heard Frankie Valley before. He sings the title track for the movie Grease, which she wants Rob to watch. Grease (Is The Word) was written for the movie; replacing the usual orchestra intros plays use.
* Written by THE BEE GEE'S
Written by Barry Gibb
It's a very very long time since I watched Grease, but i'm pretty sure he sung Beauty School Dropout as well didn't he?
@@Tulkas219 that's Frankie Avalon.
@@davedave8602 - Ah! getting my Frankie's mixed up again. Always doing that! Thanks for replying!
As for the Four Seasons, play their first big hit that took over the airwaves and could be heard from every transistor radio on the beach, “Sherry”!!! Great falsetto song😁😁😁
Yes SHERRY great song
YES please, Sherry, Shery, Sherry, Sherry.....!
They started out in the late 50's, early 60's as a doo wop band, with Frankie Valli singing in his falsetto voice, they are legends and created a unique style that I Love and still listen to today.
I saw the Four Seasons way back in 1976....I had a huge crush on the drummer and just HAD to see them! The show was everything I hoped for...just great! D***, I'm old haha
Frankie Valli’s voice comes to the fore in their songs, ‘ Walk Like A Man’ and ‘ Sherry Baby’ ’ I’m sure you will love them. The bass singer Nick Massi was the songwriter for the group.
Actually Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote the lion’s share. ❤️
Nick Massi was the vocal arranger for the band.
Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You and My Eyes Adored You are two of my absolute favorites tunes of theirs.
those are great songs!!!
Just hearing the opening few bars of this just put a big grin on my face. It takes me back to a very specific time and place around late 1975 to early 1976, when I was out hitting the clubs and having a great time. Frankie Valli is the guy not playing any instrument on this but just singing. He also played Rusty Millio in The Sopranos. He is 87 now and still out there doing concerts. The album this track is from 'Who Loves You' is a great album that I have owned for nearly 50 years.
Every song they recorded was a major hit!
My Eyes Adored You, Walk Like A Man, and Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. All classics.
Gerry Polci is the drummer.
Frankie is the one sitting on the stool. One of a kind voice. Very distinct. Listen to Who Loves You. You should check the DVD Jersey Boys. It's Vallis story of how he began & all he went through. Great movie tons of their songs! You'd absolutely love it.
Gerry Polci later became a music teacher, and you'll see several comments on Four Seasons videos from this era, probably including this one as well as the live Midnight Special version, saying, "Hey that's my old band teacher, Mr. Polci!"
You two have such power to make young people happy again. WoW. Thank you.
Watching both of you smile, grooving, enjoying music that was created decades before you were even born brought a smile to my face!
Amber this song Came out in 1976 Your decade ,,, I was 15 when this came out, I was walking down a street in Kodiak Alaska and a car went by playing this on the radio i never for got it lol And Joy to the world by Three dog night came out in 1971 , You n Jay reacted to it ,, Also heard it the 1st time in Kodiak Alaska I was a very spoiled 70s brat lol
Me too 😉❤
Their 60s songs are a different sound than the 70s. “Who Loves You” would be another 70s sound you guys would love! One of my favorite songs
YES YES YES!!! I forgot all about that song and i love it sooooo much!!
Who Loves You is my absolute favorite of theirs as well!!!
Agreed! Just mentioned this in the comments above as the one that should definitely react to. Who loves you is definitely #1 for me! They do have so many good ones though as you mentioned. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You is a fantastic song. Of course this is exactly what they were saying and they were accurate without knowing how different Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons can sound
Well the whole lineup of the Four Seasons changed from the 60s to the 70.
Frankie Valli is in his 80s and still performing. I hear he's a very nice man and loves to meet his fans in person.
Frankie Valli headlined at the Proms in the Park in Hyde Park, London in 2016. Still a fantastic artist.
They were one of the most iconic groups in the history of Rock n' Roll.
The Four Seasons started in the very early '60s when the sound was still '50s pop. They survived the Beatles revolution, and disco, making it to mid '70s still scoring hits like this one. Talent shines regardless of fads, but this is probably why you can hear that mix of styles.
This song is so cool. That piano riff is catchy AF, throw in the disco beat and magic happens. That wocka-wocka sound is a guitar with muted strings.
The sound of the guitar is actually being muted and unmuted with a wah pedal.
@@supasoulproductions yup- wah-wah pedal...iconic 70's sound....
The Four Seasons were huge in the ‘60’s. I love “C'mon Marianne,” ”Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” just to name a few!
I love C'mon Marianne too. I favor their later hits.
Gerry Polci (the drummer) was also Franke Valli's son-in-law at the time. Wonderful drummer (now a teacher) and "shy" vocalist.
This song just rocks my socks off! So much talent! One of my favorites from my childhood it just reminds me of really good times like cookouts at the beach being with fam that you love and miss!
This song came out in the 70's and was one of their last hits, but Frankie & the 4 Seasons had a long string of hits in the 60's. Frnkie is the guy who is sitting in the stool and singing the high parts, he is famous for his falsetto. Definitely go back to Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Rag Doll and so much more.
10,000 LIKES
Ut came back in remixed form in the early 90's and made it into the top twenty on the Hot 100
@@randychampion184 Yes, definitely go find the 90s remix.
I've been a Rush fan for over 40 years. I've never heard anyone compare them to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.
lol same here...
Frankie Valli singing Grease is also iconic.
FROM 1978 Amber
I saw Frankie Valli in concert in August 2016. He was 82 at the time. That man did a 2 hour show, took one 5 minute break to change his shirt and STILL SOUNDED PHENOMENAL!!!!
Amber, since you love horns, you really need to check out “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”. Also, if you want to do a great movie review and learn all about how Frankie Valli (real name Francesco Castelluccio) and The Four Seasons came about then watch the movie Jersey Boys. It was originally a huge Broadway play and they made it into a movie in 2014. It was directed by Clint Eastwood. Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio (one of the original Four Seasons) were Executive Producers. You will love it.
BTW, although this is one of their biggest hits it is also one of the only songs that Frankie Valli does NOT sing the lead on. All of their other hits it is Frankie as the lead vocalist. By the time December 1963 was made in 1975 the group was already having huge problems with each other. Frankie Valli left in 1977 and the group officially split in 1979. They had a reunion in 1980. Frankie Valli still performs and it is billed as Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons but none are the original Four Seasons members.
It's terrific. You need to listen to Rag Doll which I consider their masterpiece. Fun fact: Actor Joe Pesci grew up with these guys and actually introduced members of the band to Bob Gaudio who would be a singer/songwriter for them
I love Rag Doll!
@@BrettLesPaul Me too
I love how in Jersey Boys, Pesci is this annoying kid who hangs out.
@@corvus1374 Yeah, that was well done and funny. He was younger than all of them (I think) so they treated him like a schmo. They had no idea he would become JOE PESCI. :)
Rag Doll is my theme song.
Amber would just adore Frankie Valli's song "My Eyes Adored You"
I love that song! It makes me dance& smile. Nice selection
This was a huge hit in the late seventies, so disco influenced. However, they are mostly know for their signature four part harmonies doowap from their early 60's hits like "Sheri", "Walk Like a Man" and "Big Girls Don't Cry". Frankie, known for his falsetto,, is the one singing the bridges. He was their lead singer.
Frankie is the guy with the dark hair doing vocals only at the front with the head phones on one ear... very unique voice.
This song always gets the dance floor going at any retro disco! In fact I was at one a few weeks ago and it was played and I danced to it 😊
I never imagined in a million years someone would link Rush and Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons together. That is one of the reasons I love to watch reactions!!
Exactly!!!!!! Reactions hit on all levels
Brings back high school days in the 70s..oh the memories!
It never dawned on me until now that another singer sang most of this song. I love his voice too!
Their iconic songs were in the 60's, and this was a #1 hit from early 1976. They, like many others, were inspired by the style that was just beginning to blow up at the time - DISCO! Frankie Valli would later hit #1 with a solo hit, the title song to "Grease." :)
Frankie's got one of the all time great distinctive voices ever. "My Eyes Adored You" is my favorite.
Even people who are not familiar with the 4 Seasons have heard Frankie Valli sing the title song to Grease.
"My Eyes Adored You" is also my favorite Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' song!
I'm glad you two beautiful kids love the soundtrack of my life. I so appreciate your love for my days of music. God Bless. Terry
Jersey boys was the first musical i ever saw when i was in h.s and man i fell in love and am amazed with Frankie Vali and the four seasons band
Can’t take my eyes off you and My eyes adored you are just wonderful!
Can’t take my eyes off you was the first dance at my wedding. :-)
My Eyes Adored You is the song to do next. It is one of the best songs ever written.
Such a fun song. 💕
I'm so happy I found your channel!! Love your reactions!! You two are awesome ❤️ Blessings from Georgia
That "SOUND" is an electric guitar being played through a wah-wah pedal. Those pedals were used in almost every porno from the 70's as well. lol
From what you heard, right?
@@joeevett9007 Sure thing. I've heard many wahs and used many. Gotta love all the old FUZZY movies.
@@joeevett9007 🤣
😂😂😂
With a flute solo for the seduction parts. So I've been told.
They were huge in the pre-Beatles era with a classic early-60’s Doo Wop sound combined offset by Frankie’s distinctive falsetto. They were one of the few bands of that were to remain relevant through and beyond the British Invasion. This pop song from 1975 incorporates substantial funk elements in a way that foreshadowed the incoming disco movement.
so disco is their fault!
Nice info-thanks for that!
@@scottstewart5784 Love disco and the Bee Gees, so thanks to the four seasons!!!
I love the rob squads real reactions to music..very sincere..
I love music that makes you dance and puts a grin on your face.
Blessed are the drummers who can play and sing at the same time, for it's very difficult to do.
@B Gallagher yes!, she was a very, very talented drummer, a fact most don't recall
Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger is another (Sister Christian)
The verses were sung by the drummer Gerry Polci, the pre-chorus (starting "oh I, I got a funny feeling") is Frankie Valli, the usual lead singer, and the little bridge part (the "ball of thunder" part) by bassist Don Ciccone.
Don Ciccone(bassist) past away in 2016. At the age of 70
This was the first song I ever heard by the Four Seasons, I was 8 years old and ABSOLUTLY loved this song. If you want to know more about the Four Seasons watch the movie "the Jersey Boys" (it is also a play). Also, Frankie Valli did several songs for the movie "Grease" with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. You should do a video with Olivia Newton-John song "Magic".
This song re-ignited The Four Seasons career world-wide. Such a great song!! Try the follow up "Silver Star"
Gary Polci is the drummer. An extremely underrated musician. Listen to his drum work in Who loves you.
Thank you for recognizing the drummer. His voice was phenomenal!
It's Gerry polci ,also was Franky's brother in law
Gerri's cymbal work on Who loves you is magnificent.
This song is nothing like the hits that made them the legends they are. It’s amazing that they three guys singing different parts so beautifully. This, also, besides Frankie Valli, is not the 4 seasons who made it big in the late 50’s.
Jessie. You are the 1st to point that out. This is not the original Four Seasons. Basically this is a cover band fronted by Frankie Valli. But of note the original group had separated and after 1970 went through a myriad of permutations, actually sporting over 40 various members at one time or another. The early 70's also had them signed to Motown for a little over 3 years until '74. Bob Gaudio, one of the originals remained as their prime songwriter along with their producer Bob Crewe. But Frankie was the constant. They were the only American chart competition to the Beatles in the 60's along with the Beach Boys. The lead singer on this #1 hit was Gerry Polci who was a Season for about 17 years.
Thank you - the originals did not play instruments as far as I ever saw. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
I never saw the originals playing instruments in any of their other videos. More like a vocal group. But that was all before I was alive. In Jersey Boys they did play instruments.
@@johnj2763 I actually commented about this earlier. And I also pointed out that this song is by far not representative of the greatness that was Frankie Valli back in the day of the original 4 Seasons. I'm talking about hits like Opus 17, Dawn, Bye Bye Baby, Let's Hang On, Beggin', Can't Take My Eyes off You and so on.
@@johnj2763 "...went through _myriad_ permutations..."
This is one of my favourite songs
Love it. Frankie has been one of my favorite since I was a little kid. I seen them twice in my later years. Oh what a night
Frankie Valli was such a heartthrob among Italian-American women. Who Loves You Pretty Baby is a great song that I know you will love.
Frankie has the most unique voice.
The Four Seasons span many decades, beginning back in the late 50s with doowop, then, early 60s pop, and what you just heard in this song during the disco era. Frankie is typically the lead singer, but in this song, the lead singer is the drummer, and each member got a chance to also do support lead. Frankie Valli is one of the best falsetto singers, but you didn't get to hear that in this song.
@3:40..."What's that?"....That my friend is the 70's.
An even better song off this album is the title track, "Who Loves You". RIP bassist Don Ciccone.
I totally agree!
You have GOT to see “Jersey Boys”! It is the history of this group and such a wonderful show!
3 different singers here on this song, all sound spectacular
U go Frankie valli you still got your groove on my favorite swearing god and oh what a night good old days back in the day I listened to him when I was 12 yrs old and I'm 54 now what a classic
That Don Ciccone Bass line as he sings "Spinning my head around and taking my body under" never fails to amaze me.
When your music and life story is turned into a Broadway musical (and a movie based on that), you qualify as iconic! ETA: Billy Joel's Uptown Girl was a homage to the Four Seasons :)
What makes them "iconic"?
"Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons started out their career with three straight number one singles from 1962 to 1963. The next six singles failed to hit number one, but for the most part were top 20 hits."
"Valli scored 29 top 40 hits with the Four Seasons, one top 40 hit under the Four Seasons alias the Wonder Who?, and nine top 40 hits as a solo artist."
Two quotes pulled from a quick google search.
THIRTY top forty hits!!!! ONE band.... say no more.
Great choice guys... and glad you enjoyed it. :)
One of my favorite songs 😊❤️
This song for me always goes hand in hand with "Brandy" by Looking Glass and "Lake Shore Drive" by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah, they are my 3 favorite feelgood songs
I named my daughter Brandi for the song Brandy
Love Brandy. I’ve suggested once before when they were talking about songs that tell a story.
Love Brandy. Such a great song with a very 70s vibe
Definitely Lake Shore Drive!
Slippin on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound
The song was released in 1975. The full title is "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)". Such a great, great song. Thank you for reacting to it! You'll love this rabbit hole... Frankie's falsetto rivals Barry's.
Rob is a genius. He made the comparison to Rush. I never heared that before but now I can’t unhear it.
Who Loves You is one of my favorites.
'Sherry' is one of my favourites by them. Frankie Valli's vocals are on FULL display. It's a fun song too.
Since I first heard this in 6th grade back in the late 70’s this has been one of my favorite songs. It is one of those on my list of 50 songs if I had only them to listen to forever. 😁
Franki Valli is the falsetto sitting in the stool. That cool sound you heard was guitar scratching. Very prevalent in disco and disco-related songs in the late 70’s.
The drummer voice is Gerry Polci great drummer :)
The vocals on this song are iconic. The drummer and then Frankie and the bass player they all sound incredible.
This song has such an “ American 70s” sound to me. Just iconic. It came out in 1975. Disco was happening but the band had been around for many years . Their sound was 50s do-wop and pop ballads. Always great. Lots of hits.
