Funny thing, Frankie Valli never had any voice training or lessons. His four octave range made so many songs sparkle it was rediculous. Try some of the others out.
I worked with a Hawaiian man for years (Emuel Ohrey). He spoke 7 island languages plus English. Any time I clocked in while he was on shift, he would sing this to me. He had a great voice, but the accent made it extra special. 😍
The four seasons, The Beach Boys, the Temptations, the platters, and those type groups are what got me interested in singing four-part harmony in high school. They’ve always been my favorites.
I'm now 70, and this..The Four Seasons ...was the first album I bought when I was 12 yrs old!! They were constantly on the radio back in the day, and just GREAT!!!! Timeless!! Thanks for your fun reaction, and keeping GREAT MUSIC ALIVE!!! 🤩
Once again you’ve taken me back in time. The minute this song started playing, I was taken to the summer of 1962 when this song came out. My aunt Patsy (she was 16 then) and I (age 7) would dance in our stocking feet on our kitchen’s linoleum floor as she taught me all of the latest moves of the day. I think that I’m going to call her right now and see how she is. Thanks for the memories, good tunes, positive vibes and your ever present smile. Take care, my friend.
I was five when this song came out. My cousin’s name was Sherry. When we would visit her and this song would come on the transistor radio, my 2 sisters and I would sing it to her like we were on stage. After, we would laugh like lunatics. Ah, memories.
Silence is Golden, great song that could easily have been the Four Seasons type of song, but the hit was by the Tremeloes. It was, though, written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, the driving force behind the Four Seasons.
Great suggestion. I saw this movie, and the women who sat with me were all singing along with the tunes! I didn't mind at all. In fact, I joined in the fun!
Fun Fact: Thanks to actor Joe Pesci for putting Frankie & the Four Seasons together. Before he was famous, he hooked Bob Gaudio (keys and backing vox). Joe was buddies with Tommy DeVito (guitar). If Bob didn't join, none of this wouldn't have happened. React to "Let's Hang On", Frankie's voice has grit due to his cigarette habit but still flawless. After reacting to a few of their songs, I recommend you to watch "Jersey Boys" it's based off the broadway show but based off Frankie and the guys. I consider you and your wife to watch the movie on your date night. Spoil Alert: Jersey Boys is currently on Netflix. Great movie, great songs and worth seeing.
I was 4 years old when this came out in '62, and all my life it has been my personal anthem, my "name song". Now it's my ringtone, and every time my 80 year old mother hears my phone ring, she giggles!
Jamel, bless you. I’m still sitting on the side of the freeway with a blown tire and no spare (I know I’m an idiot 😬). You are keeping me from crying out of self-pity. Thank you for keeping my spirits up. ❤️ It’s too damn hot to be standing out here for couple hours!
I love you guys! ❤️ I just got picked up but there’s nowhere to get my tire fixed this late. But at least I’m not in the heat! 😅 It’s my fault for not checking my spare tire when I bought my car used . It is completely bald. Learned my lesson!
My dad said when this song came out everyone was trying to sing it like Frankle Valli in his high school. When I was a teen in the 80's my friends and I used to pull out all my parents old 45's and "Sherry" was always a favorite! Great songs never die, they just get rediscovered! Rock on!
“Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Walk Like a Man,” “Dawn”, “Rag Doll”, “Let’s Hang On”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “Silence Is Golden” (a cover of the British group, the (Tremolos)
Actually the Tremeloes version was a cover of the original version by The Four Seasons. Look at who wrote the song and when the versions were recorded.
Sherri-Lynn Hewat Me too Sherri, I used to hate it when I was little but I appreciate it now that I’m 62 and not 4 or 5 when I would blush when they sang it to me.
This was the real deal! Three of them were friends who started out singing on the street corners in Jersey, and then they added the forth, a guy who had already had a hit with a song he wrote. No "manufactured" groups where some guy picks some pretty boys and teaches them to sing a bit; these guys had real, natural talent! And their sound was like no one else's. The Greatest Hits of the Four Seasons was the very first tape (as in cassette) I bought off TV. I phoned in my order, sent a money order to pay for it and waited not so patiently until the post office notified me that it was there. I ran right down there to get it, and popped it in the player before I was out of the parking lot. Such a great group. They had their tragedies too; one got into financial troubles with the mob and Frankie's daughter died of a drug overdose. But they left such a legacy! If you haven't seen the move or play "Jersey Boys", I recommend it. The language is terrible, but a great story and, of course, the music is amazing!
I loved this. My older sister and her friends used to practice doing the Cha-Cha dance to this song. I used to sneak down to the basement and watch them. Great memories.😊
So.e years ago I got to see Sam Butera at New Orleans Jazzfest. He was an old guy backed by youngins also. Sam was Louis Primas sideman back in the 60s.
“Come out.. to my twist party”. I was a freshman in high school when this came out in ‘62. Danced a lot to this & other Four Seasons tunes. I think Frankie might still be singing.
Oh the memories! Summer of '62; I had just finished 2nd grade. This song comes on the car radio (tuned to WGH 1310) while the whole family is headed out for dinner. My father, a very conservative fan of big band music, reacts with , "Wow, what a sound!" Of course we're all listening closely and excitedly to the lyrics because my 11-year old sister in the back seat is named Sherry! This song was immediately a family favorite cranked up whenever it came on.
First group I ever heard live. A 7 year old second grader in 1972 and my folks took me with them. I was hooked. GREAT choice!!!!! Frankie Valli is still singing in his mid 80's!
Now you've got to react to "Who Loves You". It's a Frankie Valli & Four Seasons 70's radio staple. It's a richly produced and perfectly performed pop classic. I'm confident you'll really appreciate it. ✌🏽, ❤ and soul.
The harmony is magical. I believe there was, early in their careers, 5 men in the group. What a beautiful blend of dynamite dynamics. Outstanding. Give it up for the American bands of the sixties. Great analogy.
I grew up listening to AC/DC,Van Halen etc. and I never get tired of listening to Frankie Valli's vocals . The music I believe is written by the keyboard player and is absolutely genius!
Luv ur cool dance moves, Jamal. Thx 4 this one..The 4 Seasons were so great back in the day..as they say. Luv 2 watch ur reactions 2 these oldies 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
The best way to learn falsetto as a man is literally just to try and imitate the tone quality of great women or child singers and not be afraid to sound silly-you’ve probably done it in speech and just never noticed. Children’s choirs with teenage sections frequently teach it to boys when their voices are changing so they can still sing the high notes with the rest of Sopranos and Altos. Women can sing falsetto too, but it sounds a lot more similar to their modal head voice so it’s not as easy to notice as in men, and as such harder to teach the intuitive difference in “feel”.
Will Dwyer (1) The Church didn’t do it, the boy’s parents usually hired someone to do it after finding out how in-demand they were as a way to social climb-top level singers were set for LIFE, and castratos had less competition because of how rare it was for the child’s talent to be recognized at such a young age and for the parents to even know what a castrato was, let alone actually go through with the operation. (2) The Church did hire them-only the biggest cathedrals could afford their services, but they did-so shares some blame for the practice, but so did secular Opera. And the Church banned the practice earlier than Opera did-there were Castrato Opera stars who lived into the recording age. (3) Castrati and Falsetto, while they sound vaguely similar are completely different vocal production techniques, with a Castrato having a more similar (both biologically and tonally) sound to an adult female singer or child singer than to an adult male using falsetto. Why was this reply necessary to a discussion of Falsetto on a Frankie Vallie video? The last Castrato had been dead for decades before this song came out.
Edward Prawdzik Frankie Vallie had (and has) an exceptionally strong and clearfalsetto, but it is not hard to train men with a decent voice to use their falsetto at least somewhat. Most use a falsetto speaking voice without thinking if they’re attempting to mimic the mannerisms of a girl for some kind of joke or making baby voices at a cute animal or kid. It takes some practice to turn that into a singing voice, but *having* a falsetto isn’t really hard, *using it intentionally and well* is.
"The Eighth Wonder of the World" What does his face look like hitting those high notes? It was just the same as any other ones for him. He ie THAT good.
I cannot TELL you how many times I've sang along with this song on the radio, blasting my falsetto as high it would go! I have NO idea why, but I've ALWAYS loved this song. Good choice!
I just finished watching "Sincerely K.S.O.'s" reaction to your "Show Them Some Love Part 2" video. When you mentioned her name she was like a giddy school girl. She refers to you as "The King". She didn't specify "King"of what ... I assume it is "King of Throwbackness". Others should check her out - she is an Amazing & Awesome Lady.
When I was little I had a playmate named Sherry (RIP). Her parents got her this record got her this record. We would play it and dance and sing to it almost every day. It seems like I’ve known all the words for my whole life. Thanks for bringing back some long-ago memories.
Hey Jamel! Yes! This is absolutely the REAL Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. 😄 His voice has always been so distinctive, amazing and yes, unforgettable. Thank you! ✌🏽, ❤ and soul.
@Murphy Pizza Love that song! Got to see Lou sing it live when I was about 12. "Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars" came to town (mid-60's) & he was one of the performers. He sounded great. Later that night my dad was at a restaurant when the whole "caravan" came in. He went over & got several autographs for me including Lou's and Louise Harrison's. George Harrison's sister was on the tour. She didn't sing, she would simply take questions from the audience about The Beatles. So somewhere in my attic there's a little notebook with Lou Christie's autograph & some Beatle DNA.😂💙
One of my all-time favorite groups, and the very first concert my parents ever took me to. Frankie Valli would have been in his late 40's or early 50's at that point, and he SLAYED.
Hey Jamal, watch the movie “Jersey Boys” it’s their story of Frankie and the band made by Clint Eastwood with all the hits. Frankie and the other founder worked with Clint on the soundtrack.
"It's like the higher he goes, the lower my eye goes." Hahahahahaha I can't stop laughing. Frankie Valli did have a crazy high range. 😁 My mom still reminisces about her old high school dances. She had a big crush on Frankie. ❤
I remember when I was 11, I had my first boyfriend, he was 10, and this song was our song, he would call sing my name “Wendy”, and call my name, to get me to come out to play! 3yrs ago, I saw Frankie Valli live in an outdoor concert. And when he sang this song, I was taken back to those days of innocent love! All of my childhood was rape and abuse, but music kept me going, and anything that came along that was innocent and normal was welcomed so much! ❤️

Nope, just a teenage doowop street corner group from Jersey.
Nothing like raw natural talent
I totally agree with you Daniel! He is incredible!
@@davidmorley1606 ohh those street corners groups where amazing
thank the dear LORD for Joe Pesci
This is why I love older music; no auto tune, no filler. Pure talent and class
EXACTLY back when YOU had to be able to SING to get a record deal or you didnt eat
NO AUTOTUNE NO NOTHING
JUST TALENT
@@SilverKenshin calm down
@@ATalkingBadger
Lol no problems here I'm calm I dont get worked up on here
Even the rare imperfections were part of the fullness of the music.
Frankie Valli's voice is just the f*** programming of the autotune
That's why Frankie Valli is one of the greatest voices ever.
100%!
Check out “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Stay”. CLASSICS
Dawn too
And walk like a man.
He did all the big ones already.
And Candy Girl.
Stay with Maurice Williams and Zodiacs?
No auto-tune...they had to be on point, every time.
Yes sir!!!!!!! Almost as good as Roy Orbison
Frankie Valli said to Auto-Tune- "Hold my Beer"
@@barrycohen311 Frankie Valli - four octaves ?
Yma Sumac : hold my voice chords !
@@barrycohen311 you don't understand the purpose of that meme.
@@ATalkingBadger What exactly are you talking about?
His voice is so powerful he don't need no rock. Amazing falsetto.
“Rag Doll”, “Candy Girl”, “Beggin” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry” are a few more great hits
"Dawn" was another one.
Walk like a man
Watch Jersey Boys a fantastic movie about This amazing band. See How Joe Pecci changed the band for the better
Rag Doll is my favourite.
"Walk Like A Man"
I love the way he can make Sherry an 8 syllable word. I love his vocal fry also. That rasp he hits with such a high voice is fantastic.
Now that is some serious falsettos.
THIS is the Four Seasons!! Such a great hit! Frankie’s voice gives me chills!!
Same. It's a thing of beauty
THIS is why we made such a big deal about authentic recordings.
They had a string of hits in that time period. Besides Sherry, there was Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, and Rag Doll.
They were one of the biggest American acts during the height of the British Invasion.
Walk Like a Man, every time I hear that, I think of the movie Heart and Souls! Again, an underrated movie!
The Everly brothers "Wake up little susie" a absolute gem!
True. Any Everleys.
They were born and raised in Kentucky. I am so glad I moved here from N.J. 30 years ago.
Too many to list from the brothers Everly
Wake up, Kelly - - oh yes, I lived this song one night - oops.
Let it be me
I worked with a Hawaiian man for years (Emuel Ohrey). He spoke 7 island languages plus English. Any time I clocked in while he was on shift, he would sing this to me. He had a great voice, but the accent made it extra special. 😍

This was a big dance song!
Great memory and story.
great story - thank you for sharing that memory - that moment of your life...
Thank you for your story, Still Standing. It's wonderful. The next time you talk to Aunt Patsy, please tell her hello. Peace.

My Mom’s favorite song at the time, Loved it so much, she named me after it.
My mother's favorite as well. She also named me after it.
When Bob Gauido joined the group, he brought them to a different level. His writing and musical lyrics were perfect for them.
True.
Thank Joe Pesci for that introduction
Not only no autotune, but many groups just went into the studio all together and got it in one take.
Truly phenomenal talents!
Yay!! Time to now react to Walk Like A Man, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Rag Doll, and Who Loves You.
Great choices.
Some more great Four Seasons songs: "Walk Like a Man", "Silence Is Golden", and "Working My Way Back to You".
And 'Rag Doll'.
All excellent choices. I still have my mom's old 4 record vinyl set of their greatest hits. Wish I still had a turntable lol
Silence is Golden, great song that could easily have been the Four Seasons type of song, but the hit was by the Tremeloes. It was, though, written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, the driving force behind the Four Seasons.
@@paul6619 There is a Four Seasons version, though, which sounds almost exactly like the original.
And Bye bye baby and Dawn
There is no other voice on God's green Earth like Frankie Valli's
Absolutamente ! The voice of an ITALIAN ANGEL 😇🇮🇹😇
And thank God that he was the only one with that voice… It made him unique…
BARRY GIBB from the THE BEE GEES There song TO much Heaven from 1979 Check them out
Us NJ motherfuckers hard, thats all there is it to.
This is THE SONG I will always think of first when I hear Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Frankie owns it vocally, so much.
You nailed it.
There's an amazing musical about this band called "Jersey Boys".
Yes its quite good. I knew nothing about this group and enjoyed it lol.
Jersey Boys is about them?? Omg well I gotta go watch it now.
Seen it twice...LOVED IT!!!1
Great suggestion. I saw this movie, and the women who sat with me were all singing along with the tunes! I didn't mind at all. In fact, I joined in the fun!
I saw jersey boys twice. Worth every penny. I took my mother. The second time.
Now that's Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!!!! "Bye Bye Baby" and "Dawn".
Yes Indeed👍🏾
Fun Fact: Thanks to actor Joe Pesci for putting Frankie & the Four Seasons together. Before he was famous, he hooked Bob Gaudio (keys and backing vox). Joe was buddies with Tommy DeVito (guitar). If Bob didn't join, none of this wouldn't have happened. React to "Let's Hang On", Frankie's voice has grit due to his cigarette habit but still flawless.

Oh man Joe Pesci.....guess I could see it. He kinda reminds me of Valli 😁
I love your fun facts!!
All true.
The surprise, the joy, the happiness you express is just too damned adorable!! ❤❤
Ultimate song for a sing-along with the Grandparents on a long drive.
Fifties falsettos were quite the fad!
Ryan Campbell Yes they were but this is early 60s.
1962 isn't part of the 50s
October '62 ain't the 50's
I'm 70 years young this song brings back memories of dates I had. Can you imagine listening to to that on a had held am radio.
I was 4 years old when this came out in '62, and all my life it has been my personal anthem, my "name song". Now it's my ringtone, and every time my 80 year old mother hears my phone ring, she giggles!

My older sister loved this when she was about 11. She had a crush on a boy named Terry Baily, so she changed the words a bit :)
I just had to reply after seeing you mention Terry. The song Sherry was originally called Terry and Bob Crewe recommended it be changed to "Sherry".
TIMELESS! These guys could sing! Frankie Valli is amazing - he can STILL sing!
Rag doll and Dawn are good ones by them as well!
Jamel talks about "story songs" - Dawn is one of the best! Both written by backup singer and keyboard player Bob Gauido, as were many of their hits.
You had that rock throwing down just like you’d done that before. Their voices were so good it is hard to imagine.
My dad said when this song came out everyone was trying to sing it like Frankle Valli in his high school.
When I was a teen in the 80's my friends and I used to pull out all my parents old 45's and "Sherry" was always a favorite!
Great songs never die, they just get rediscovered!
Rock on!

Probably conceived while it was on the radio
This was the real deal! Three of them were friends who started out singing on the street corners in Jersey, and then they added the forth, a guy who had already had a hit with a song he wrote. No "manufactured" groups where some guy picks some pretty boys and teaches them to sing a bit; these guys had real, natural talent! And their sound was like no one else's. The Greatest Hits of the Four Seasons was the very first tape (as in cassette) I bought off TV. I phoned in my order, sent a money order to pay for it and waited not so patiently until the post office notified me that it was there. I ran right down there to get it, and popped it in the player before I was out of the parking lot. Such a great group. They had their tragedies too; one got into financial troubles with the mob and Frankie's daughter died of a drug overdose. But they left such a legacy! If you haven't seen the move or play "Jersey Boys", I recommend it. The language is terrible, but a great story and, of course, the music is amazing!

(3) Castrati and Falsetto, while they sound vaguely similar are completely different vocal production techniques, with a Castrato having a more similar (both biologically and tonally) sound to an adult female singer or child singer than to an adult male using falsetto. Why was this reply necessary to a discussion of Falsetto on a Frankie Vallie video? The last Castrato had been dead for decades before this song came out.
Edward Prawdzik Frankie Vallie had (and has) an exceptionally strong and clearfalsetto, but it is not hard to train men with a decent voice to use their falsetto at least somewhat. Most use a falsetto speaking voice without thinking if they’re attempting to mimic the mannerisms of a girl for some kind of joke or making baby voices at a cute animal or kid. It takes some practice to turn that into a singing voice, but *having* a falsetto isn’t really hard, *using it intentionally and well* is.

Just a thought.
"The Eighth Wonder of the World"
What does his face look like hitting those high notes? It was just the same as any other ones for him. He ie THAT good.
Old school music is not only so damned COOL, but it’s also so MEMORABLE!
I cannot TELL you how many times I've sang along with this song on the radio, blasting my falsetto as high it would go! I have NO idea why, but I've ALWAYS loved this song. Good choice!
I just finished watching "Sincerely K.S.O.'s" reaction to your "Show Them Some Love Part 2" video. When you mentioned her name she was like a giddy school girl. She refers to you as "The King". She didn't specify "King"of what ... I assume it is "King of Throwbackness".
Others should check her out - she is an Amazing & Awesome Lady.
If you like male voices in upper ranges, take a listen to Eddie Holman on "Hey There Lonely Girl".
👍👍🇬🇧 !
True. And Alan Clarke, Brian Wilson, Jay Black
That is a great one.
When I was little I had a playmate named Sherry (RIP). Her parents got her this record got her this record. We would play it and dance and sing to it almost every day. It seems like I’ve known all the words for my whole life.
Thanks for bringing back some long-ago memories.
Hey Jamel! Yes! This is absolutely the REAL Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. 😄 His voice has always been so distinctive, amazing and yes, unforgettable. Thank you! ✌🏽, ❤ and soul.
Another great tune with a great falsetto singer..."Lightning Striking:, Lou Christie. Woo! Check that one out.

Love that song! Got to see Lou sing it live when I was about 12. "Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars" came to town (mid-60's) & he was one of the performers. He sounded great. Later that night my dad was at a restaurant when the whole "caravan" came in. He went over & got several autographs for me including Lou's and Louise Harrison's. George Harrison's sister was on the tour. She didn't sing, she would simply take questions from the audience about The Beatles. So somewhere in my attic there's a little notebook with Lou Christie's autograph & some Beatle DNA.😂💙
I think Lou's voice was at its peak on "The Gypsy Cried".
Lou Christie was so cool and cute.
Turned a lot of laps at the skating rink to this. Couples only, please. Couples only.
This reaction!!! GOLD. You can see how happy music makes a person.
One of my all-time favorite groups, and the very first concert my parents ever took me to. Frankie Valli would have been in his late 40's or early 50's at that point, and he SLAYED.
Hey Jamal, watch the movie “Jersey Boys” it’s their story of Frankie and the band made by Clint Eastwood with all the hits. Frankie and the other founder worked with Clint on the soundtrack.
Bob gaudio is the other founder
"It's like the higher he goes, the lower my eye goes." Hahahahahaha I can't stop laughing. Frankie Valli did have a crazy high range. 😁
My mom still reminisces about her old high school dances. She had a big crush on Frankie. ❤
I remember when I was 11, I had my first boyfriend, he was 10, and this song was our song, he would call sing my name “Wendy”, and call my name, to get me to come out to play! 3yrs ago, I saw Frankie Valli live in an outdoor concert. And when he sang this song, I was taken back to those days of innocent love! All of my childhood was rape and abuse, but music kept me going, and anything that came along that was innocent and normal was welcomed so much! ❤️
I am in my 30s and I rock this song like it came out yesterday! 😂😂😂 The vocals are incredible and it makes you want to dance 🌟❤
If you want a fifty + year career, start with a voice like that!
Try "There's a Moon Out Tonight" by the Capris! I think you'll love it
Frankies voice is untouchable.. Best voice ever.
I have seen frankie vallis face as he hits those high notes. His face is just as relaxed and effortless looking as he sounds
