Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
The Four Seasons are often overlooked when lists of important bands of the 1960s are made. That really shouldn't be the case. With Frankie Valli's amazing bray of a voice backed by the solid harmonies of the other Three Seasons singing simple, powerful songs with great hooks and lots of musical surprises, they were really quite special. And Bob ...

Frankie Valli
Frankie Valli has recorded only sparingly as a solo artist, and virtually never after the late '70s. (Culture hounds should already be aware that the most notable solo Valli performance was the theme song to 1978's Grease, the latest of his Top Ten hits.) But in 2007, with his recurring appearances on The Sopranos and the success of the Four ...

For those who've lived under a rock for almost 50 years, this review will mean less than nothing. The rest of us have no doubt encountered -- on some television program, a commercial for a K-Tel oldies collection, or, in rarer cases, songs floating in the background on a film soundtrack -- Frankie Valli's shattering falsetto fronting his rock and ...

Greatest Hits, Vol. 2

by
The Four Seasons
The mid-'60s were a time of transition for Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. The teen market had put Valli on the map, but he knew that teenagers turn into adults, so he gradually shifted his focus from teen pop to a more mature and middle of the road (although still quite sugary) approach that incorporated influences ranging from Motown and the ...

Various Artists
Like most of the decade-based installments in Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series, this set has its hands full with the genre-flooded charts of 1970s pop. But while most retrospectives would include just a few hits surrounded by hit-or-miss filler, Top 10 is crammed with well-known radio favorites, and offers a nice cross-section of the decade's ...

Working My Way Back to You/The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette is a strange and wonderful pairing which, between the two, delineates the point where the Four Seasons ceased being a contemporary pop/rock outfit and slipped off that ledge into an oldies/nostalgia act -- and they did not go quietly, as revealed here. Working My Way Back to You was ...

Rag Doll was a new step in the Four Seasons albums. Previously, the group had filled LPs with covers of oldies after including their current hit. Rag Doll consisted entirely of songs written by group member Bob Gaudio, which gave it a contemporary feel, and it contained three Top Ten hits, including the number one title track, "Save It for Me," ...

The Four Seasons achieved the unusual feat of taking a popular musical style, doo-wop, that was in decline to the point of being nearly moribund and reinventing it, their chief tools being lead singer Frankie Valli's falsetto and the songwriting ability of group member Bob Gaudio, who penned the number-one hit that led to the release of this debut ...
