Was arguing with the hubby and then I said, "Let's watch some Jamel for a couple of minutes and laugh and forget we are arguing."...and that's what we did! ...lol
It's based on ALL their lives, not just Frankie Valli. The original Broadway musical was stupendous! Saw it three times because I kept taking others to see it...it was that good. The movie was okay but nowhere near as good as the show.
could you imagine Jemel in the car on a road trip listing to the oldies channel on the radio.He be sing and rocking and bopping he would be a riot on a road trip lol
Joe Pesci was partially responsible for Frankie Valli's big break...they were friends and Joe introduced Frankie to a singer/songwriter friend of his....that led to the formation of The Four Seasons
You’ve got to hear a song of theirs which rarely gets requested: “C’mon Marianne”. When he hits the high notes on that one - OMG! I heard that particular song influenced The Doors song “Touch Me” which came out the following year. There’s an echo effect on it that I really like too. Great song! Check it out.
Brings back so many memories of my youth. My grandmother bought me a tranistter radio back then. My mom used to complain about having to put out 25cents for a new battery every other week because I felt asleep listening to this fantastic music
Clicked for that exact reason lol. Actually love this guy so much was glad to see he made a reaction video to a song that set the tone for my favorite movie ever.
Almost everybody seems to be worked up and in a frenzy tonight since Jamel has been reviewing Frankie Valli songs. Everyone wants to throw in their list of suggestions of songs not only Frankie Valli songs but other songs as well and they're throwing them out strong and heavy. I can really feel the excitement.I got my list in. Frankie Valli and the four seasons brings back such happy memories.
Del Shannon was a bit earlier but still in the same era. Little Runaway is famous for the falsetto "why why why why why..." in the chorus and probably one of the first clavinet solos in rock and roll history.
My baby sisters name is Sherri. She was born '62. LOL OMG we used to drive her nuts playing or singing The Four Seasons "Sherri" Good memories; good vibes. Thanks
Yes yes yes!!!!!! Omg! I am loving you listening to Frankie...I have got to get my son to see these reactions before he leaves to go over seas again... ✌✌✌✌
Sarah Stewart well being a DJ for a major radio statio for over 30 years we considered it a crash for the simple fact of the anti disco sentiment and the openly aired bee gee free weekend. But you seem to know more than I do. Ok. Lol
@@williammorton3370 I didn't say I knew everything. I just don't see it from your standpoint that's all. And you know what Mr know it all? THAT'S OKAY.😂
Sarah Stewart well then dont start a comment with the disco era did not crash. That is implying that I dont know what I am talking about. Hmmmmm. Typical. You make a derogatory implication then get butt hurt when called out on it. Have a great day snowflake.
When I was a kid I thought the line was "My girl, Six Foot Nine (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)". Nearly three decades later I finally realized it was "My Girl Said Goodbye (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)".
So glad to see Jamal reacting to these...I had seen his reations to My Eyes Adored You, and another 70's one from them...and I was thinking--oh, he has to hear their old, 60's stuff--yippee!!
Jamal. Just went and saw Frankie Valli LIVE this week in Modesto, CA. The man is 88 years old and his show was amazing. His band is so "tight" and his singers really complimented Frankie. You are now my official best friend and favorite TH-cam channel so I wanted to share with you. Doc
I remember having the soundtrack to the movie Mermaids and this was on it. My mom gave it to me when I was little and I played it over and over. Such a good soundtrack!!
Written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio and was inspired by a line in the 1955 western Tennessee's Partner, starring John Payne, Rhonda Fleming and Ronald Reagan. When Payne's character slaps the blonde bombshell played by Fleming, he asks her what she thinks about being slapped. She gets up, composes herself, and replies, "Big girls don't cry."
Thank you Jamel........My grandma thought her big old fashioned radio was taking up too much room so she gave it to me to put in my bedroom.......my first radio .....and the first song i heard when i turned it on was "Big Girls Don't Cry" ......i was 12 years old and i thought......"Wow music for us" ....not for adults .......not kiddie music.......but music for people MY age.......thanks again for bringing that moment back again for me!
I've been listening to all reactions to music I grew up with from my parent's generation. It's just amazing to watch. I' didn't see the reaction to the original Lovin' you by Minnie Ripperton. I think it would be an amazing one for you! I only just heard the original recently. Keep enjoying music. I'm here to stay for the content!
Who doesn’t like to share good music with a friend? It’s another way to React. 😊 i enjoyed listening to these songs with you and reading the Comments from others who were also singing along.
Oh you are soooo much fun to go down the rabbit hole with...especially for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Your dance moves aregreat...so is your shirt and, as always, your expressions are a hoot! Keep on rockin'!
My grandpa (R.I.P Reuben the barber) used to play piano to my nanna as she got ready to go out dancing and he’d play everything frankie valli and Roy Orbison ‘pretty woman’ too, he’d be sat at the piano in his suit, hair done and singing away for her- that was true love right there ❤️
Love this rabbit hole 😂 My sister used to play this for my niece after a cry, my niece now plays it for her daughters 4 and 6, they know every word; keeping great music alive.
This was one of my CD's to play while traveling. Great music, makes you want to stop the car and dance!!! I have done that to other music, got some strange looks as people are going down the highway!!!
You always are so positive with every video you do with the songs suggests, have you ever thought of doing an occasional video of songs you want us to hear, the ones that truly mean something to you. Please keep doing what you do! Xo
I had the pleasure of seeing The Four Seasons in Concert when I was a girl 👧 in High School 🏫 they were awesome 😎 so much fun love 💗 their harmony sound awesome
This is a deep rabbit hole you are going down, Jamel! They were my second favorite group back in the 60's, since the Beatles were first. They had so many hits and I agree that you should see the movie "Jersey Boys".
The Four Seasons and the Beach Boys had a friendly running feud back in the early 60s, so the Beach Boys wrote a song called SURFERS RULE, which ends with "Four Seasons, you better believe it' while they sing the falsetto from WALK LIKE A MAN of the 4 Seasons. You should play that. It's really good. Play "Walk Like a Man" first, then "Surfers Rule", so you'll hear where it comes from.
AI YI YI He sounds like my cat when she's whining. LOL. But man, Frankie Valli is iconic and easily recognizable. I like your trip to old old school today.
My older sister loved the 4 seasons she saw them many times, she probably still has her scrap book I saw Frankie vali when he was promoting the movie grease which he did the song for He was still great
Jamel, 90% of the tunes you play I’ve been listening to for decades. It’s always a pleasure to hear them again,only better when you’re reacting to them...❤️✌🏼
Good Morning (Saturday "East Coast") Hello Captain Jamel_AKA_Jamal.. thank you so much for taking me down this trip on memory lane it's more my parents music than it was mine but I remember my mother just loving Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and you even went before they called Frankie Valli Got Called out and they were just called The Four Seasons so that's REAL.. I went into tears a couple times last night listening to these videos and hearing that music again for the first time in many many years so thank you for the journey thank you for the ride along with you on this journey and you're just phenomenal keep being you keep safe strong and healthy and keep it together and I was always much respect and Peace ✌
Thank you for the awesome time trips. The 60s were the greatest decade for music. Keep finding new artists to listen to. I'll be right there jammin with ya!!!
This was MY song ...given to me by my 3 bigger brothers when I was 4-6 years old LOL Anytime I would get upset they’d sing or play this for ME and laugh at me Made me what I am now LOL
Frankie Valli and the four seasons was huge when I was younger in the 60's. Dam my man, you bringing back my childhood. Thank Jamel this brings back memories.
That extraordinary voice that makes it sound like he spent his youth on helium. And every tune seems to be a winner. Some of them I wasn't even aware they did first!
I live in NJ. I’ve been over Barnegat Bridge and I’ve been to Barnegat Bay & the lighthouse. They are Jersey Boys! A Broadway musical was made about them. In 2014, they made it into a movie. Frankie’s life was pretty tragic, though. If you have time, rent “Jersey Boys”. It’s a great movie!
Jamal, thank you so much for these! My mom has Dementia/Alzheimer’s and she so enjoys watching you react to these! She remembers all these, she’s 79! Thank you for putting some sunshine in my Mom’s horrible journey of Dementia/Alzheimer’s! I love your channel like no other!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
Was arguing with the hubby and then I said, "Let's watch some Jamel for a couple of minutes and laugh and forget we are arguing."...and that's what we did! ...lol
Jamel AKA Jamal AKA Marriage consular.
🤣🤣🤣
In the early 60's you had the Four Seasons representing the East coast and the Beach Boys holding down the West coast.
And the Righteous Brothers doing it too from coast to coast.
@@finitychance5651 One brother per coast?
And Motown in the middle!
never thought about it that way but your're right
And I loved both groups! We had THE BEST music in the 60’s!!!!! 🎶 ❤️ 🎶
Jamel you really need to see the movie "Jersey Boys." It is based on Frankie Valli's life. Great viewing and listening.
The musical was great! The movie would be okay. Didn't Clint Eastwood produce or direct it?
@@v.2080 I think so
It's based on ALL their lives, not just Frankie Valli. The original Broadway musical was stupendous! Saw it three times because I kept taking others to see it...it was that good. The movie was okay but nowhere near as good as the show.
Seeing it live first is important because, while Clint did a good job, there’s no comparison; people deserve to leave a live performance humming.
I’d like to see a Jamel reaction to “Jersey Boys” the movie!
Those three notes on the “ai-yai-yai’ really cut through the decades like a knife 😎 Thanks for the personification of those notes. 🙏 🎶
^ ^ FACTS ^ ^
Those notes still pierce my soul like Cupid’s arrow.
could you imagine Jemel in the car on a road trip listing to the oldies channel on the radio.He be sing and rocking and bopping he would be a riot on a road trip lol
I would want to be on that road trip fun fun🙋🏻♀️
He would make a great deejay, wouldn’t he?
I'd volunteer for a road trip with him. LOL
I would love to sit in the backseat
Joe Pesci was partially responsible for Frankie Valli's big break...they were friends and Joe introduced Frankie to a singer/songwriter friend of his....that led to the formation of The Four Seasons
I still remember watching their Tonys performance where the members were on stage with Joe and he explained his role in everything
Cool. I did not know that
That was back when Joe was working his shine nox.
It’s just a big ole party listening to this with you, Jamel, and watching with y’all.
You should do let’s hang on, and candy girl, amazing voices
Yes absolutely, I forgot about that one
Just Love your variety and your real expressions and “Stank Face”😂👍🏼🙏🏻 God Bless You, Brother, your a shining light in dark times🙏🏻
- Who Loves You
- Beggin'
- Dawn (Go Away)
- Let's Hang On
- Rag Doll
- Candy Girl
Beggin' is there most underrated song imo
Yes! Dawn and Rag Doll!
Yes, more, more, more 4 seasons!
YES to all of them :)
You’ve got to hear a song of theirs which rarely gets requested: “C’mon Marianne”. When he hits the high notes on that one - OMG! I heard that particular song influenced The Doors song “Touch Me” which came out the following year. There’s an echo effect on it that I really like too. Great song! Check it out.
Just amazing music that reminds me of my childhood. I was born in the 60's but have a 40'S/50'S Soul..great
Brings back so many memories of my youth. My grandmother bought me a tranistter radio back then. My mom used to complain about having to put out 25cents for a new battery every other week because I felt asleep listening to this fantastic music
This song always makes me think of Dirty Dancing.
Clicked for that exact reason lol. Actually love this guy so much was glad to see he made a reaction video to a song that set the tone for my favorite movie ever.
Ikr, I thought I remembered it from the movie
I recommend Dawn. It's my favorite.
Thank you so much Jamel for being here.
This is the song my parents named me from. "Lovely as a midsummers morn, they called her Dawn."
My daughter was named Dawn.
It's a beautiful name. I always wanted to have a little girl to name Cassandra Dawn.
What a great night of music 🎶♥️ I hope you never stop doing this Jamel ☮️
I'm gonna say it till you do it!! Everly brothers! "Wake up little Suzie"
Also Bobby Vinton had an amazing falsetto. Mr. Lonely is a great song by Him.
When you react, it's really like me hearing it again for the first time!! Thank you, God bless! 💖💖💖
Almost everybody seems to be worked up and in a frenzy tonight since Jamel has been reviewing Frankie Valli songs. Everyone wants to throw in their list of suggestions of songs not only Frankie Valli songs but other songs as well and they're throwing them out strong and heavy. I can really feel the excitement.I got my list in. Frankie Valli and the four seasons brings back such happy memories.
There were other falsetto singers at this time. Lou Christie and Gene Pitney come to mind.
Lou Christie's Lightning Strikes would be an excellent choice!
Roy Orbison
Del Shannon was a bit earlier but still in the same era. Little Runaway is famous for the falsetto "why why why why why..." in the chorus and probably one of the first clavinet solos in rock and roll history.
Yes! and The Newbeats
@@sounder9393 what about Christies 2 faces have I, really showcases the falsesetto
My baby sisters name is Sherri. She was born '62. LOL OMG we used to drive her nuts playing or singing The Four Seasons "Sherri" Good memories; good vibes. Thanks
Yes yes yes!!!!!! Omg! I am loving you listening to Frankie...I have got to get my son to see these reactions before he leaves to go over seas again... ✌✌✌✌
Jamal, What a pleasure to hear this song with ur reaction. U r great! U really feel the music and make it of ur own. Thanks for share urself
Alone - The Bee Gees. Redemption of their career song. Great stuff. Come back album after the disco era crashed.
The Disco Era did not 'crash'. It just came to an end with the changing tide like everything else in life. Lol
Robin killed that song!
Sarah Stewart well being a DJ for a major radio statio for over 30 years we considered it a crash for the simple fact of the anti disco sentiment and the openly aired bee gee free weekend. But you seem to know more than I do. Ok. Lol
@@williammorton3370 I didn't say I knew everything. I just don't see it from your standpoint that's all. And you know what Mr know it all? THAT'S OKAY.😂

Lou Christie: "Lighting Striking Again". There is a stage video, big guy in a denim suit, hot dude, he's another one that has got the falsetto.
I love coming hear to listen to music with you! 👏
I've listened to this hundreds of times in the 60's....on my dinky transister radio, but now with headphones....wow! It's like a new song!
When I was a kid I thought the line was "My girl, Six Foot Nine (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)". Nearly three decades later I finally realized it was "My Girl Said Goodbye (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)".
Saw them live once by accident! Went to OC Maryland and they were doing a FREE concert on the boardwalk...had no idea! Was GREAT!!!!!
"Sherry" is another hit that needs to be heard!! this one will may be a sing along as well. Cheers!!! Loving your channel!!!
Billy Joel paid props to them with his song Up Town Girl
Thank you for delving onto the Four Seasons. I grew up in my neighborhood with these guys. Good clean fun.
I feel like I'm at a sock hop dance 💃🕺Luv it!
Hey, Jamel can change Saturdays to "Sock Hop Saturday" !!
So glad to see Jamal reacting to these...I had seen his reations to My Eyes Adored You, and another 70's one from them...and I was thinking--oh, he has to hear their old, 60's stuff--yippee!!

It would be really cool to see you react to “Hot Rod Lincoln” by Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen . It will make you smile.
I love this song and I’m so glad you are playing the music you play...it’s all good
I saw the Four Seasons in 1977 and they played ALL their hits and sounded great!! (Damn I'm old haha)
I remember having the soundtrack to the movie Mermaids and this was on it. My mom gave it to me when I was little and I played it over and over. Such a good soundtrack!!

Saw him on concert 2019 and he is still going strong in 2022.
Classic music never gets old just better.
I was 10 years old and at summer camp. We danced to this song over and over.
My aunt Kathy played this song over and over drove my grandma crazy lol thanks for the memories big hug at you 🙋🏻♀️

Everybody on the floor- it’s cha cha time!
Karen, can’t not think of Dirty Dancing when I hear this!
Kara Turner indeed!
Opus 17 - that's my favorite song by the Four Seasons. Once you hear it, you'll be glad you listened to it.
Awesome !!! Now you need to do The Beach Boys, Good Vibrations. The recording sound on this is incredible, great harmonies. A truly classic song.
Oh you are soooo much fun to go down the rabbit hole with...especially for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Your dance moves aregreat...so is your shirt and, as always, your expressions are a hoot! Keep on rockin'!
"Walk Like A Man" is the 4 Seasons 3rd #1 in a row. Their first 3 releases went to #1.
My grandpa (R.I.P Reuben the barber) used to play piano to my nanna as she got ready to go out dancing and he’d play everything frankie valli and Roy Orbison ‘pretty woman’ too, he’d be sat at the piano in his suit, hair done and singing away for her- that was true love right there ❤️
Jamel my brotha!! Another Classic!! 🙌😂💪
Love this rabbit hole 😂 My sister used to play this for my niece after a cry, my niece now plays it for her daughters 4 and 6, they know every word; keeping great music alive.
You gotta do Jay and the Americans "Cara Mia" their styles are def different, but the voices are incredible!! Thank you and God bless!! 💖
Absolutely love that song. One day for a change they were playing oldies at my workplace and I heard it for the first time. Amazing.
@@labyfan1313 saw them and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons back in the 70s..my first concert!! It was incredible!! 💖
Jay Black. Another Jersey Boy with an amazing voice.
I was 2 1/2 when this came out. Can't say that's when I remember it from, but at 3 probably.
😀🎶👍Thanks for the genuine love of music that you share with us! My goodness that song brought me way back!
This was one of my CD's to play while traveling. Great music, makes you want to stop the car and dance!!! I have done that to other music, got some strange looks as people are going down the highway!!!
Please sample “Bye Bye Baby” by them...Probably their best musicianship along with the great vocals and harmonies.
The start of this song love it! This big girl boohoo crrrrryiiiiyi😄 byyyyyiyiiii. Doing my pony
You always are so positive with every video you do with the songs suggests, have you ever thought of doing an occasional video of songs you want us to hear, the ones that truly mean something to you. Please keep doing what you do! Xo
Those are my soul train Saturday videos I do
I had the pleasure of seeing The Four Seasons in Concert when I was a girl 👧 in High School 🏫 they were awesome 😎 so much fun love 💗 their harmony sound awesome
His high notes always blew me away.
Love Frankie and the 4 and I absolutely love Jersey Boys.
My sweet Daddy introduced me to these guys from the get go! Thank you Pops 💝
It's alright to listen to music with people. That's what we're here for!
I LOVE how you jam out to these classic tunes. You’re amazing. My new favorite reaction youtuber.
First time I heard this song I was 14 years old getting ready for school. That was 60 years ago.
This is a deep rabbit hole you are going down, Jamel! They were my second favorite group back in the 60's, since the Beatles were first. They had so many hits and I agree that you should see the movie "Jersey Boys".

Totally Made My Day With this one 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
In 2007, I saw Jersey Boys at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles and , although a bit gritty,was a great show.
I used to play this to my youngest daughter when she went into a strop, she always ended up smiling and came round dancing :-)
AI YI YI
He sounds like my cat when she's whining. LOL. But man, Frankie Valli is iconic and easily recognizable. I like your trip to old old school today.
My older sister loved the 4 seasons she saw them many times, she probably still has her scrap book
I saw Frankie vali when he was promoting the movie grease which he did the song for
He was still great
You got to play Let’s Hang On , one of my favourites of the group… danced to this many of times!
Jamel, 90% of the tunes you play I’ve been listening to for decades. It’s always a pleasure to hear them again,only better when you’re reacting to them...❤️✌🏼
Dion and The Belmonts another great group!!!
I loved the "Thats what we came for"
Love that rabbit hole. Thank you for bringing it back.

Thank you for the awesome time trips. The 60s were the greatest decade for music. Keep finding new artists to listen to. I'll be right there jammin with ya!!!
I know we all singing 🎤❤️
And the fact Frankie is well into his 80’s and still reaching those notes. He’s incredible!
This was MY song ...given to me by my 3 bigger brothers when I was 4-6 years old LOL
Anytime I would get upset they’d sing or play this for ME and laugh at me
Made me what I am now LOL
Frankie Valli and the four seasons was huge when I was younger in the 60's. Dam my man, you bringing back my childhood. Thank Jamel this brings back memories.
That extraordinary voice that makes it sound like he spent his youth on helium. And every tune seems to be a winner. Some of them I wasn't even aware they did first!

If you have time, rent “Jersey Boys”. It’s a great movie!
You always put a smile on my face thanks for bringing Some happiness to this dismal world
My mom had their albums and I loved playing the records on her big console! Another perk of being old! 😅
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were the sound of the mid-60s!!
One of the classics. Keep on doing what you're doing.
Jamal, thank you so much for these! My mom has Dementia/Alzheimer’s and she so enjoys watching you react to these! She remembers all these, she’s 79! Thank you for putting some sunshine in my Mom’s horrible journey of Dementia/Alzheimer’s! I love your channel like no other!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
Love your genuine reactions 🙂
This is in the movie "The Wanderers" also. Funny part of the movie.
Yes it was LOL
It was also in Dirty Dancing
My daughter, granddaughter, and grandson love to sing to this song.
I love this song bro, thank you again for the reaction... greetings from Chile Jamal ....and keep going
The piano player was the author of songs and he also wrote the music and actually played it for that voice.
