What's 'real' music by your definition? 🤨 Just because you don't enjoy something, doesn't make it inherently bad.. Either expand your horizons before casting aspersions or move on without trying to drag others down for their tastes.
@@tomsgrexit A lot of people would argue that rap is not real music, since it often has no singing or instruments. I will admit that I greatly prefer alt rock and alt country, and most of my knowledge of rap is VERY old school (80s and early 90s), so I don't really understand all the differences between rap and hip hop and all their sub-types, so I can't really comment on it. Personally (and I'm 58), my first thought when I see a comment like that is to wonder what their parents and grandparents thought of the music they listened to.
After the eighties, all music gives me a headache. I don't need to tag any music as "REAL". I like it or I just don't. This girl has listened to it all. The older generation does expand their horizons. Some honestly won't ever leave their box. But understand them please!! The world needs differences. ❤
If you want to hear some serious falsetto, you need to react to early "Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons". Songs "Sherry" "Walk like a man" "Big girls don't cry". 🙂
I remember being in high school and this song was on the radio multiple times a day. I haven't heard it in well over 40 years, and I just sung every word like I just heard it yesterday.
I was coming to say the exact same thing! How I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but "My Eyes Adored You" flowed out of my mouth as if I wrote the song myself. Long term memories are amazing... especially with emotional songs. Love that I'm not alone!
And yet why did we just walk into the kitchen? Music is deeply embedded into our brains. There’s a study somewhere that stated that the music we listened to between the ages of 14-17 ish usually is the music that sticks with us. Even the music that we didn’t continue to listen to. Which is also why dementia patients react so strongly to music of their youth.
Who Loves You. 1975, funky, dance floor banger. Frankie does the love songs and he can get you up on the floor. Keep reacting to this amazing, iconic artist.
This song came out when I was in 5th grade and my "boyfriend" was in 6th. He DID carry my books home from school. We DID play make believe you're married to me, kissing and laughing. This was our song. 😊
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Who Loves You" and "Sherry"!!! Fun Fact: Frankie Valli was given the choice of being in the movie “Grease” or singing the title song. He chose the song, which was written by Barry Gibb! Good choice. There's a Broadway play called Jersey Boys about Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, so they were legendary! edit- Todays song was technically a solo hit for Frankie, 1974, although members of the 4 Seasons played on it..
Ty for the fun fact I dnt know that & Grease is my Fav. musical I dnt know Barry Gibbs wrote it. I know he wrote ‘Chain Reaction’ & you can hear the Bee-Gees singing the chorus.
That’s true, and also “December 1963 (Oh What A Night)” was technically just “The Four Seasons”, although Frankie sang on it, but he didn’t sing lead, and plus, Frankie had already embarked on a solo career by then.
Frankie is STILL out there touring. I saw him last year. He’s 87 years old and still sounds INCREDIBLE. He gave out CDs to the people in the front row, and shook hands with audience members. He’s incredibly sweet. At the end of the show, he said “I’ll see you next year!”
Omg. Frankie Valli is one of the greatest. Both as a solo artist and with the 4 Seasons. Please please please, play "The Girl I'll Never Know" by him. You will not regret it. And it's one of my all time favorites!
Ahhhhh, yeah..... This was (In my mind) the song for a girl I grew up with. She was a twin, and from 4th grade through (and after) high school, we were friends, commiserating with one another over failed high school romances. But in the back of my mind, she was the one. (Her parents always thought she and I would get married, though we never dated.) We talked about why WE never happened, once. Both of us had feelings for the other, but the time was never right. Either she, or I was always dating someone else when the other was free..... And 50 years later, we've both been married to other people more than half our lives, and we both love our spouses..... But sometimes something will cause her to pop into my head, and I'll wonder.... What if.... 🧓
This was always such a sweet song about the innocence of youth and first loves. Hard to believe it was written by the same two guys who wrote LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” 😂😂😂
🦩🦩Frankie Valli has always been the lead voice of The Four Seasons. Later they featured his name but you are missing some great ones if you only look for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Im sure the earlier stuff will please. His falsetto is in prime condition on songs like "Sherry" "Walk like Man" "Candy Girl" and my favorite "Lets Hang on to what we Got" etc.all under the name The Four Seasons. 1962...1965ish
So glad y'all brought them back!!! One of the best groups of all time. Frankie still tours, sometimes with the Four Seasons and sometimes alone. Either way he is AMAZING!!!
@@anthonycolatrella2438 you might check online and you will see that he does tour without the 4 seasons sometimes. I saw that he has quiet a few concerts by himself. I just checked, July 21st, he's in Michigan by himself. Then he has several with the Seasons, then in Oct. he is by himself again.
@@karendoss6026 I can ASSURE you Karen that Frankie ABSOLUTELY does NOT tour by himself---he always does his concerts backed up by the 4Seasons--as I said the first and only time he toured as a solo act was in 1978-9---I have his 2023 tour schedule right on hand and every listing is as Frankie Valli and the 4Seasons including that Michigan concert on July 21st and every other one thru 2023 and every one after that I am sure--- but I do not need to look online, I am familiar enough with him and his history that I know he does not tour alone----not sure where you got that idea---if you see a concert online that just lists him it is just an omission of the 4Seasons name --after all Frankie is the draw---on ads for concerts, the name 4Seasons has gotten progressively smaller under his name over the years, but they are still there -believe me
Frankie's falsetto and the touching lyrics on "Rag Doll" made this my all time fav. song from them for feels... 2nd fav from them is "The Night" for some good Northern Soul vibes that make you wanna have a wee dance😂
"Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Rag Doll", "Who Loves You", and "Walk Like A Man" are some more to do. Also get back to more Dion And The Belmonts. And yes you should watch "Jersey Boys" for the movie channel about them.
@jamesdamiano8894 we both come from Bergenfield, NJ. He was several years ahead of me but he was sooo handsome and smart! When I was a silly kid I wanted to believe that he sang Dawn about me, of course he didn't. Ah, youthful dreams. Great place to grow up.
Hi Jay and Amber. I was 15 when this song came out. My ears have adored it ever since. One of my all time favorites but then again , there are so many favorites of those times. Sigh. So glad you liked it.
I was definitely listening to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons back in the 60s and 70s. I was blessed to see the Jersey Boys musical in Vegas, and it brought back so many memories of this fabulous group.
Absolutely LOVE Frankie Vallie!! I'm an oldie, so I will click every single time you do him. I enjoy your reactions on the music you love, but even more when you appreciate the music I love!
first song you listened to was "Oh What A NIght" December 63. It's been a long time but you both loved the song and it's been my favorite from them. So Many good songs from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!
Frankie & the 4 Seasons knew how to write and perform American Great Music. I was so fortunate to be born in 63 and Grow up with the 50-80s being my primary Golden Music years.
This song came out in 1975, when I was 10 years old. I don't know how long it was before I realized it wasn't 'My Eyes of Georgia." And I want you to know - I look for your new posts when I need someone to give me a smile.
Frankie Valli is 89, still touring, and still great to see him in concert. Missed him this past January, but have seen him twice in the last ten years.
The Chimes was actually a Harp! How many harps do you hear in mainstream music? It's a perfect background ambience setter! The Song was cowritten by Kenny Nolan ("I like Dreaming") and he sold the rights to Frankie Valli for $4000. Frankie had a hard time getting song out there because the studios refused to release it on their Labels... Their loss was Our Gain!
Gayle Levant played harp on many of the Carpenters songs, plus there was a lot of harp on Mary Hopkin’s song Temma Harbour which is an old favourite of mine
you got your story a little bit wrong--the song was written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan and recorded by the 4Seasons in mid 1973 while they were still at Motown--like most of the songs Frankie and the Seasons recorded at Motown, the execs at Motown did not think them worthy of release including this one---finally in mid 1974, the Seasons were fed up with Motown and left the label; before leaving they asked to buy back all their masters but Motown asked for too much so Frankie settled on this song only and did buy it back from Motown for $4000--he then shopped it around to many other record labels before Larry Utall who had just started his own label-Private Stock -agreed to release it as his very first record and it went to #1---about 40 other records remained UNRELEASED in the Motown vaults for the last 50 years---finally 13 of them have just been released as part of the Mega Box set collection of over 800 tracks--almost everything ever recorded by the 4 Seasons--the set was just officially released June2--I have heard the 13 and they are all sensational--as good as "My Eyes Adored You"---what was Motown thinking???!!!
Heard this song for the first time when I was in first grade in the early 70's. I thought he was singing My Eyes of Georgia. One of my favorites, to this day.
beautiful song sung by the very talented Frankie Valli. I grew up listening to the Four Season's, so I am very familiar with Frankie and his wonderful voice.
Frankie Valli is th eking of falsetto. Like nothing you have heard before. sherry, walk like a man, big girls don't cry, stay, rag doll, let's hang on. All incredible songs stretching from 1962 to 65 with unbeleivable falsetto vocals. There are live versions of all of them, definietly worth looking them up because he's incredible.
You will like the movie based on Frankie Valley And The Four Seasons -- Jersey Boys . Lots of their hits and their story is interesting. I believe I heard that the actor who plays Valley does his own singing, and was also the actor in the stage version of the story. Some or all of the other actors who were in the band may have also been in the play.
Almost story of my life. He is still a great signer brings is members along. Kindest most generous man . Miss those days. I'm 67 now and so many songs bring me back to those days, sometimes good sometimes sad. A life lol. Miss so much groups like him , Chilites,stylistics, Bread and so many more. I don't understand what happened it's the music we still love, the music in new movies. Yet we're stuck with auto tune and violent or gross lyrics. Just discovered you but new follower. Thank you
Grew up with Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons; "Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You", etc..., they had so many great hits.
My personal favorites from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons are 'Let's Hang On' and 'Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me).' They are uptempo songs that you might enjoy, too.
There was a famous parody version of this song circa the 80s that changed the lyrics to "my eyes explored you" from Dr. Demento or somebody like that. Even decades later, I can't hear the real version without thinking of the comedy one.
This reminds me of myself and my childhood best friend. Everyone thought we'd be together when we were older. But like it says,.... went out seperated ways. I think about him on occasion. I hope he's living a happy life. I miss you Bobby.
You two are so sweet. And Amber, I’ve watched you go from seemingly disinterested to now you’re in full bloom and really enjoying what you’re doing, be proud. And be proud of how much your channel has grown! Glad you’re having fun with my music! 😀❤️
I wrote on an earlier reaction to another artist that for me Frankie has the all time best falsetto I have heard. AND I stand by that! To date most of what you have listened to is later in his career when he not singing most of the time with his falsetto! PLEASE, PLEASE react to earlier songs to hear it! There are MANY hits to pick from! (Sherry - their first of MANY #1 songs) But I would request either "Opus 17", "Bye Bye Baby" or my favorite "Rag Doll" .. EACH of these songs give you Frankie in his full voice and falsetto and Each showcase towards the end of the songs just how high and clear he could sing!
My papa loved the Four Seasons and Frankie Valli. So, I got to listen to them growing up and of course I loved them too. I got to see the musical Jersey Boys (not the movie which wasn't nearly as good as the musical). The musical was fantastic! I also got to see Frankie Valli in concert. Such great music. Always makes me think of my papa.
Funny tidbit, I saw Frankie at a festival in my hometown he was backstage and I walked right up to him. And jokingly said thanks for writing Sherri, now everywhere I go someone is singing that song to me. Lol!!! his autograph said sorry Sherri, love Frankie 😂😘
I was the age Frankie Valli sings about in this song when it was released. My buddies and I would talk about the girls we had crushes on when listening to this song and looked forward to walking home from school with them but afraid to express our schoolboy feelings to them just like in this song. Another beautiful reaction, Rob Squad. 👍😊
I've been listening to you almost since the beginning, when Rob was by himself. Amber, I agree with you about making people smile. Love to you and yours ❤
Its 1969 im in kindergarten. After school i would go to my Aunt Pegs house. She would play this song over and over again. I loved her snd the song. It still lives with me today.
Believe me Amber, you and Jay have a profound impact out here. You guys at times are my sole reason for carrying on when times get difficult to deal with so just keep it up. Love you from New Orleans
He came to Omaha for a big, free Memorial Day concert at a park 3-4 years ago. Always loved him, but getting to see him live was incredible! Almost every singer I really love was big when my parents were young. I try to catch them all when they come to the area, while I can. I love y'all's reactions!!
I’ve always been a huge fan of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The Jersey Boys. You should watch that movie, about their history. So good. Lots of their great music. My childhood was in the 60s and 70s. They and The Beach Boys were my favorites. Learned to stretch my soprano voice singing along to Frankie’s falsetto. “Let’s Hang On” is still my favorite recording of theirs. So many great songs!
As a 67 year old, it's so good to see young people enjoying real music.
Agree!

Wether with the Four Seasons or as a solo artist, you always know when Frankie is singing, one of the most recognizable voices of any generation. ✌️
He was even on Soul Train, he is that good!
Just like Gene Pitney.
Its whether not wether
Guys it's Frankie Valli not Vally
@@petegregory517 can't understand why the great Gene Pitney gets overlooked. Only Love can Break a Heart is one of my favorite songs ever.
Frankie Valli is still performing ... at age 89 !!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉 good god❤❤❤
Yes with his friends still good still a great guy. We get him often in Montreal
@@charlesbrown1542lol Tom Jones is turning 90. Check him out he still has that string voice. Genetic are not fair lol
😮❤ What a trooper to still keep on keeping on. I loved this song.
I saw him in 2018. He was incredible. People jumping out of their seats singing. It was a great night.
If you want to hear some serious falsetto, you need to react to early "Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons". Songs "Sherry" "Walk like a man" "Big girls don't cry". 🙂
Not to mention "Rag Doll" and "Ronnie" (my dear departed sister by the same name's favorite song).
AMEN!
That's what I was thinking!
Great suggestions
There you are Jay and Amber great suggestions. And more to come.
Its funny how this song crossed both parent and child generations. Kids of the 70's loved it as well as our folks. A uniting sound.
Every generation can relate to "the Friend Zone" 🤣
Yes it does. I remember donna.
70s parents were big fans of the four seasons, they had many hits in the 60s also.
Absolutely, I enjoyed it as well as my mom!
Ansolutely. My mom's a Boomer and this is one of her Favorite groups and I'm Gen X. Grew up listening to them and I love them too.
After all these years, I still remember these lyrics. Crazy how a song sticks in your brain.
So true. Great music goes to a special place in our memory
I wasn't from that time but being in the presence of others from then, I know the words.
If you haven’t already done these I’d suggest “Let’s Hang On “ & “Big Girls Don’t Cry “
Their earliest stuff is gold
Don't forget "Dawn," "C'Mon Marianne" and "Save It For Me." I don't think a lot of people really remember the last two great songs listed here.
@@tmr626 I love all of those, and another forgotten gem: Marlena

Takes me back to my childhood in the 60's with my Dad Loving Frankie Valley and THE FOUR SEASONS.
Ohhhhh this is such a stunning song!
sweet memories this song brings back. Great choice.
Omg. Frankie Valli is one of the greatest. Both as a solo artist and with the 4 Seasons. Please please please, play "The Girl I'll Never Know" by him. You will not regret it. And it's one of my all time favorites!

What a F-ing song! So sentimental and relatable.and I'm a hard core blues fan. I guess I'm not too hardcore! Lol.

Love Frankie and four seasons. This is more from my mom and dad. I'm 64 think of them all the time especially with this music. Live them
Sweet childhood story right here, and a #1 hit from 1975.
Heard this song for the first time when I was in first grade in the early 70's. I thought he was singing My Eyes of Georgia. One of my favorites, to this day.
Came out in the middle 70s 1974/75.
This is one of my first memories of music I loved! Thanks!
Just a little young for the 4 seasons, I'll always remember Frankie Valli for his Bee Gees song Grease
Another beautiful song I was blessed to grow up listening to!!!
beautiful song sung by the very talented Frankie Valli. I grew up listening to the Four Season's, so I am very familiar with Frankie and his wonderful voice.
Got to play lead trombone for Frankie and the Four Seasons at a music festival in the 90s. One more autograph in my Encyclopedia of popular music.
Thank you! Great reactions to a great song. Beautiful even if it is bittersweet.💕
Frankie Valli is th eking of falsetto.
Like nothing you have heard before. sherry, walk like a man, big girls don't cry, stay, rag doll, let's hang on. All incredible songs stretching from 1962 to 65 with unbeleivable falsetto vocals. There are live versions of all of them, definietly worth looking them up because he's incredible.
Every boy has that one girl he remembers when he hears this song. Thanks for doing this one!❤❤
You will like the movie based on Frankie Valley And The Four Seasons -- Jersey Boys .
Lots of their hits and their story is interesting.
I believe I heard that the actor who plays Valley
does his own singing, and was also the actor in the stage version of the story. Some or all of the other actors who were in the band may have also been in the play.
So beautiful, tender, sweet and wholesome. ❤ Love this song so much!
You two look absolutely "GUT PUNCHED" by this one. Priceless reaction🧡🧡❤🧡❤❤❤🧡🧡🧡
“You’re Ready Now” from the sixties is a great Frankie Valli song
Almost story of my life. He is still a great signer brings is members along. Kindest most generous man . Miss those days. I'm 67 now and so many songs bring me back to those days, sometimes good sometimes sad. A life lol. Miss so much groups like him , Chilites,stylistics, Bread and so many more. I don't understand what happened it's the music we still love, the music in new movies. Yet we're stuck with auto tune and violent or gross lyrics. Just discovered you but new follower. Thank you
Thank you for this. Keep up the great work. Love you guys may God bless you and the family.
I love this song. I fall in love all the boys of my youth all over again. 💚❤️🩵💙💜🧡💛
Listening to this song is like a sweet and gentle hug. 🤗
I wish they were artists like this still around 😢😊
Grew up with Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons; "Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You", etc..., they had so many great hits.
My personal favorites from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons are 'Let's Hang On' and 'Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me).' They are uptempo songs that you might enjoy, too.
There was a famous parody version of this song circa the 80s that changed the lyrics to "my eyes explored you" from Dr. Demento or somebody like that. Even decades later, I can't hear the real version without thinking of the comedy one.
This reminds me of myself and my childhood best friend. Everyone thought we'd be together when we were older. But like it says,.... went out seperated ways. I think about him on occasion. I hope he's living a happy life. I miss you Bobby.
I love that you two love the same kinds of music I do!
You two are so sweet. And Amber, I’ve watched you go from seemingly disinterested to now you’re in full bloom and really enjoying what you’re doing, be proud. And be proud of how much your channel has grown! Glad you’re having fun with my music! 😀❤️
I've noticed that too. She's come a long way on these reactions. Look forward to hearing them now.
@@blitz3643 me too!
I wrote on an earlier reaction to another artist that for me Frankie has the all time best falsetto I have heard. AND I stand by that! To date most of what you have listened to is later in his career when he not singing most of the time with his falsetto! PLEASE, PLEASE react to earlier songs to hear it! There are MANY hits to pick from! (Sherry - their first of MANY #1 songs) But I would request either "Opus 17", "Bye Bye Baby" or my favorite "Rag Doll" .. EACH of these songs give you Frankie in his full voice and falsetto and Each showcase towards the end of the songs just how high and clear he could sing!
You make many people smile! More Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons: "December 1963"; "Let's Hang On To What We Got"; "Walk Like a Man".
My papa loved the Four Seasons and Frankie Valli. So, I got to listen to them growing up and of course I loved them too. I got to see the musical Jersey Boys (not the movie which wasn't nearly as good as the musical). The musical was fantastic! I also got to see Frankie Valli in concert. Such great music. Always makes me think of my papa.
This song always makes my eyes sweat. Darn!
I just saw Frankie a month ago in Philadelphia. Puts on a fantastic show at 89 years old. His voice hasn’t changed in
60 years.
Please spell his name correctly. VALLI
Mid 70's was a great era for music, guys!
I saw Frankie Valli a couple weeks or so ago at the San Antonio, TX Majestic Theater....for 89 years old he was singing fairly well. Thanks guys ;)
Frankie Vali has some awesome songs (this among them). I have his Greatest hits album. Something i will always treasure. ❤🎼🎙❤
"Who Loves You" and "Silver Star" were two of The Four Seasons' best later offerings.
Funny tidbit, I saw Frankie at a festival in my hometown he was backstage and I walked right up to him. And jokingly said thanks for writing Sherri, now everywhere I go someone is singing that song to me. Lol!!! his autograph said sorry Sherri, love Frankie 😂😘
I was the age Frankie Valli sings about in this song when it was released.
My buddies and I would talk about the girls we had crushes on when listening to this song and looked forward to walking home from school with them but afraid to express our schoolboy feelings to them just like in this song.
Another beautiful reaction, Rob Squad. 👍😊
I've been listening to you almost since the beginning, when Rob was by himself. Amber, I agree with you about making people smile. Love to you and yours ❤
I love Frankie. I have to say my favorites of his are all with the four seasons !!
Love the 4 Seasons. Many great songs, including this one.
Great reaction you two!
Kudos!
Its 1969 im in kindergarten. After school i would go to my Aunt Pegs house. She would play this song over and over again. I loved her snd the song. It still lives with me today.
Gotta love some Frankie Vali !
Believe me Amber, you and Jay have a profound impact out here. You guys at times are my sole reason for carrying on when times get difficult to deal with so just keep it up. Love you from New Orleans
This beautiful song will last forever 😢😊😢😊
He's great. You probably already know he sang "Grease" which you have heard.
He came to Omaha for a big, free Memorial Day concert at a park 3-4 years ago. Always loved him, but getting to see him live was incredible! Almost every singer I really love was big when my parents were young. I try to catch them all when they come to the area, while I can.
I love y'all's reactions!!
I can still see in my mind's eye the one this song fit so well way back when. Good job guys.
One of the best songs written, I believe.
My late mother's favorite artist. We saw him live at Magic Mountain in the early 80s.
Feels good to be from Jersey when you see people appreciate there music! Many of timeless classics! Jersey 💪🏻
Brilliant live and still rockin today. Thanks guys, you make a real difference !
I’ve always been a huge fan of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The Jersey Boys. You should watch that movie, about their history. So good. Lots of their great music. My childhood was in the 60s and 70s. They and The Beach Boys were my favorites. Learned to stretch my soprano voice singing along to Frankie’s falsetto. “Let’s Hang On” is still my favorite recording of theirs. So many great songs!
