WHO LOVES YOU is an entertaining collection of work from the Four Seasons' mid-'70s comeback period. Was their disco-friendly 1975 hit "Who Loves You, " included here, an homage to Telly Savalas's popular catch-phrase from TV's KOJAK, then at the height of its popularity? No sentient being can say for sure, but what we do know is that it marked the group's return to the upper reaches of the charts after an absence of some seven years, as well as a reunion with their genius songwriter/producer Bob Gaudio. Other successful fruits of that renewed collaboration include the similarly disco-flavored "Silver Star," and one of the group's all-time biggest hits, the aggressively nostalgic "December 1964 (Oh What a Night)," presented here in both its original single and dance remix versions.

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.
