Folk-Nanny/Born to Wander [Remaster]

Performer: The Four Seasons
Producer: Bob Crewe
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: 2 albums on 1 CD: FOLK NANNY (1963) / BORN TO WANDER (1964). The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (vocals). This twofer collects 1963's FOLK NANNY (which has nothing to do with folk hootenannies, and much to do with Vee-Jay records releasing Four Seasons' archive material after the band had left to sign to Philips in 1964), and BORN TO WANDER, which is an oddity in being a set of folk-inspired songs influenced by various 1950s and '60s vocal groups, including the Kingston Trio and the Four Freshmen.

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.
