Performer: The Four Seasons
Engineer: Gordon Clark Producer: Bob Crewe Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Arrangers: Nick Massi; Sid Bass; Bob Crewe; Bob Gaudio. This set combines the Four Seasons' original Curb Records albums Sherry & 11 Others from 1962 and Rag Doll from 1964 in one two-disc package (even though both would have easily fit together on a single disc) which means you get the classic hits "Rag Doll," "Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Sherry," and a whole lot of filler. It's easy enough to get all three of those songs on a greatest hits release along with other great sides like "Dawn" and "Silence Is Golden," and that's a better way to go. ~ Steve Leggett
In the 1960s, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons churned out hit after hit to become one of the most successful vocal groups in pop history. Their signature was Valli's stratospheric falsetto, but their success also resulted from sharp, melodic songwriting. During their prime, singles like "Sherry" and "Walk Like a Man" emphasized close-harmony singing with an urban swagger, providing the missing link between doo wop and Motown-era pop. The group topped the charts again in the '70s with an updated, disco-influenced sound. There was a resurgence of interest in the Four Seasons in the early 2000s thanks to the hugely successful Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS about the history of the beloved group.
