Performer: The Four Seasons
Producer: Bob Crewe Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: 2 albums on 1 CD: THE FOUR SEASONS ENTERTAIN YOU(1965) / LIVE ON STAGE WITH THE FOUR SEASONS (1966). The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (vocals). The Four Seasons' 1965 combination of originals like "Big Man in Town" and "Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)," and covers of show tunes like WEST SIDE STORY's "Somewhere," is paired in this twofer with the group's 1966 fake live album, which was recorded in the studio complete with audience noises and spoken introductions.
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.
