    Never had a voice lesson. No one on his family sang. Saw Frank Sinantra & decided he wanted to do that. Seems like he always had a lot of confidence! Unique voice. Unique man.

    I just watched The Jersey Boys live, it was brilliant, funny and applauded as the the songs were sung because we recognized them and because they were sung well. For those too young and not born in time to witness their careers unfold, the show was a treat 🎉by watching the show you know he loved the music and singing.

    Can't get enough of Frankie Valli! I was in 6th grade the first time I heard the Four Seasons & followed them ever since! Frankie Valli is an inspiration !
    One can see how he loves performing !He is loved by many & yet his humility stays intact! Bob Gaudio's writing talent in collaboration with Frankie Valli's unique style along with the harmonizing of the Seasons is phenomenal! Hope he stays strong & keeps performing so young people can get a chance to know him & also, understand what it is to be in the presence of a true legend!

    This is among one of the best interviews/biographies of Frankie that i have watched. I just adore him.I know it might sound crazy, but i wish i could have been with Frankie when he looked like he does in this interview. I fell in love with him from afar when we were both younger. I was an attractive singer back then . He looks pretty good for 87. Not many men do.

      If you were really Frankie Valli, you would have a special specific check mark on the right side of your name. Everything i said in the comments back then was completely true. We should have met back in the 1960s or 70s or a a few decades after. Its too late now. Life can be cruel sometimes.

    What did it mean in the video at 18:30 "Frankie grows up and loses his falsetto"?
    And after that , no followup as expected , instead a performance of Ragdoll compete with the high notes?
    Was the explanatory segment deleted , as Frankie continued to perform in Concert "singing" the high notes?
    Much controversy over "Is he really singing or not"?
    Very hard for me , as I'd assume "not" , since he is to me by far the best singer EVER , but that's life ,
    So much is made about his fantastic falsetto , which it is , but
    How about the best "regular" singing voice ever - by far!

    Frankie is although talented , he is not so much a legend as the media makes him out to be. All the members of the four season played a part in their success but Frankie decided he could make tons more money by screwing is band and go single. And he did just that. Left them dry and played off their hits as well as a couple come backs that were written by outside writers .
