I was a youngster when this song first hit the airwaves, and it hit me hard. I cried and felt pain in my heart...and I will always remember that. That's why, to this day, I think it's probably my favorite Four Seasons song. So many other great songs, though! The Four Seasons are just so amazing; a prolific, American classic group.
@Linda Camarda Same here. I was 10 & cried every time it came on the radio. And here I am now, wiping away tears even though I enjoyed Jamel's reaction. This song really stayed with us.💙
Joseph Murphy TBF to people who mess up “Hang On Sloopy”’s title, there were some major ad campaigns for the theme park chain with the rights to the Peanuts characters (The Cedar Fair parks, I think?Knott’s Berry Farm was the one near me) that parodied the song as “Hang On Snoopy” in the 90s, well after the original had dropped off the air. So a whole generation heard the parody and thought it was the original.
@@IONATVS oh yeah I'm aware of that. There was another song like that one as well in which they thought it was one thing and it was another. If I can remember the song I will share it. But I do remember as a kid in the 70's that most people around me called the song hang on snoopy. Not even looking at the record to see the actual name.
"Rag Doll" is regarded by some as the greatest achievement of the Four Seasons. Gaudio (piano, songwriter, vocals) was on the way to a recording session and his car was stopped at a long traffic light in Hell's Kitchen. Often kids would wash the car windows during the long waits and ask for some change. In Gaudio's case, a scruffy little girl washed his window. When Gaudio went to give her change, all he had was a $20 bill. After a moment's hesitation, he gave her the bill because he had to give her something. The astonished look on her face stayed with him and inspired the subsequent song. ~ Wikipedia
it was a ten. Here's the link to Bob Gaudio, the writer, telling the story. I doubt if he would have given her a twenty back in 1964. He hesitated giving her the ten. th-cam.com/video/8OaRHwEM2WQ/w-d-xo.html
Bob Gaudio, who was a member of the Four Seasons, also wrote/co-wrote many of their hit songs, Rag Doll came about while Bob was in New York at a stop light. A girl in tattered clothes came out while Bob was waiting for the stop light to change, and washed his windshield. That encounter was what encouraged him to write the song. Rag Doll went to #1 on the Billboard charts, one of the rare American groups to get a number one during the time of the British Invasion.
I heard also he kept looking at her in the rearview mirror of the car as they drove away just standing there in her rags looking after him and thats the vision that stayed with him that moved him to write the song.
When u comment about the song being short this was the era of AM radio and records 33 1/3 & 45s. It wasnt til the 70s that FM radio came about . "Short songs were for AM and "album cuts" were FM. Watching you reacting to these great songs makes me realize we had the best music ever.
Billy Joel has a song called “The Entertainer “ which has a line about his song that took him years to write but the studio just wants him to cut it down to 3:05. That’s the way things worked back then
Been a life long fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons , I saw them on the Liverpool Empire 1968 and been a big fan ever scince Frankie was a one off ..
As my first father in law used to say, "Let me tell ya this about that..." We appreciate you as much as you appreciate us. I AM a subscriber, and I'm glad I found your channel. I'm also glad you limit the number of videos you do in a day, or I'd never get ANYTHING DONE!
My first concert back in the 70s, with Jay and the Americans!! They were awesome! Great memories.. keep em coming!! Please check out Jay and the Americans "Cara Mia"... he has an incredible voice! Thank you Jamal.. God bless!! 💖
I am sitting here in the recliner with both feet going back and forth. My hubby stops watching his movie to ask if I am listening to something good. Well, YES!!
The Four Seasons are the band that turned me to rock and roll. They are my greatest musical influence. This song has always been a personal favorite. It is a timeless classic and that is final. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much Not just for playing this powerful song but for to actually Explaining the meaning of it...I was Born n Raise in the Worst Part of South Central L.A. and I can Personally relate to this .. Thanks again bro -NITEOWL ARTE
Try the B side of this, Silence is Golden. Most of the Four Seasons hits were written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. Crewe went on to write tons of hits for other musicians. Including "Lady Marmalade". Even before Crewe joined the Four Seasons, he wrote a big hit, "Silhouettes", which was recorded by The Rays. After the Four Seasons, he joined disco band Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes.
Love you are bringing oldies to the mainstream. My parents listened to this music when I grew up. And, I’m technically a millennial, but none of my friend knew this music.
Love this. Got to see him in Concert a few years ago at the amphitheater in Costa Mesa. Of all the concerts i have been to( and i have been to a lot) this really was the best. The kind of music that touches the soul.
Such a beautiful song and thank you for your review. This song happens to be one of the biggest hits of 1964 and the bands 4th number 1 hit in less then two years. To think that when rolling stone magazine came out a few years back with the top 500 greatest songs recorded, not one Valli or 4 Seasons song made it on that list. The 4 Seasons are the first American band to have three number 1 hit songs in a row, played their own instruments and wrote their own songs before The Beach Boys and Beatles.
This is my favorite song of The Four Seasons. It encompasses everything with bold yet calm drum beat, tambourine, instruments, harmonizing vocals, lead singer, story in song with a lesson in humanity.
THE FOURS SEASON'S are one of my FAVORITE band,My UNCLE'S played them all the time when l was young!! That area of MUSIC was FABULOUS!! Thank you, your responses are always on point!!!!
Frankie, one of the best singers ever. In ANY style. Maybe even the best, so much heart, raw emotion, still hits you in the gut after 50 years hearing it
They made some great songs; Rag doll is my favorite. Beautifully put together, the guys sung their hearts out, and they wanted only to help her. The right ingredients to get the best results.
My brother, it thrills me to no end that you appreciate the amazing music from my era! Nothing against newer music, but this stuff was a special time in American music.
When I was in my late teens I used to listen to this over and over on my transistor radio. Most young people don't even know that's a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. I think we all could relate back then. I love your post.
Now this was my Mom and Dad's music. My father was a big music fan and he was born during the first wave of Rock n Roll (1938). He got to see all the greats and he got to see these guys live. My dad had a kick @$$ record collection and this gem was in his collection. I love Rag Doll but my favorite song by these guys is Dawn. Aww man what a song and what a group! The Four Seasons were amazing like you!! You take care and stay safe 😷
I love "Lets Hang On"and of course "Grease" Another good group is Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Gary is the son of the late comedian Jerry Lewis They had several hit songs: This Diamond Ring Save Your Heart For Me Count me In Everybody Loves A Clown Just My Style They are just a really fun group!
One of my all time favorites. From the four seasons. Again I cut my teeth on these oldies and so did my babies. I hope they are never forgotten or lost.
HI Jamel! This is your subscriber from Down Under! Just wanted to say you are a TREASURE! Your wife is SO lucky to have you! Thank you so much for reacting to sixties music! It's my FAVOURITE music, including Motown! LOVE your channel! Take care and stay safe! God Bless! From Australia.
So I come over to give you a shoutout for reacting to Mr. Video's reaction (awesome) and now i find your reacting to my favorite Frankie Valli song😎😎😎, much love to you guy's 🖒
My first concert, I was just a young girl, mom and dad took my brother, sister and I. I didn't appreciate the music at the time, but came to love it as I grew up.
Hey brother, love the way you appreciate the music and artist from my era. Love the way you can understand the messages. And your rythm on these old songs is awesome Dance my friend God bless you
Wow .A big 6ft5 man swooning over our music ,making it your own.Thank you for appreciating such good music. Now you can see why Frankie Valli and the Four seasons had so many hits.They knew how to do it, and they put in the work.
My personal favorite from them. The melody, lyrics, harmonies & the overall musical arrangement & production (including the drums/tambourine) is first class-top notch.
So glad to see you going on the Four Seasons journey! Love their songs and this one is one of my favorites, because of the lyrics. Keep on playing these great tunes Jamel! Got to get my old school fix from your videos Jamel. Keep them coming!
Great post Jamal. I saw Jersey Boys well over 50 times, and grew up with the music of The Four Seasons. I really think "Rag Doll" is one of their best, but hasn't gotten the airplay of many of the others! Great commentary man!! Thanks.
I would have to say this is my favorite Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song. Even as a little kid I understood the meaning of the song. Growing up poor and living in the projects might have helped with that. I have listened to this song for quite some time and listening to it now brought me back to those days in the '60's.
Gotta love The Four Seasons. They had so many enjoyable hits all with that signature voice. There were a few other falsetto hit songs of theitmr era but Frankie Valli was in a premier league all his own .
I heard this song growing up in the 80s my parents ALWAYS had their “oldies” station playing. I haven’t heard in sooo many years til now. Thank you Jamel. I find myself coming back to hear this song and others. Really appreciating this song especially. It’s so good. Thank you for reminding me of good childhood times with my family. 👍🏼
@@jimhuggard5398 Growing up in the 60's I always like there was so many classes and it was easy to feel out of place.I took me into my middle to late 20's to feel comfortable in nice sit down restaurants.
You seem to be part of the new generation of hippies! Today’s popular music just doesn’t hold a candle to the old stuff, my generation, and I was fortunate to go see the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, seats up front, unforgettable for sure!
It's great to see your honest reaction to the songs and the emotional feelings you express to each song. I experienced most of these when they first released. Our experience and reaction to this music is much the same. What's new to you are memories to me. Thanks for keeping it alive! Great videos! Peace out.
one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard :)
I was a youngster when this song first hit the airwaves, and it hit me hard. I cried and felt pain in my heart...and I will always remember that. That's why, to this day, I think it's probably my favorite Four Seasons song. So many other great songs, though! The Four Seasons are just so amazing; a prolific, American classic group.
I am nodding my head along in agreement!
@Linda Camarda
Same here. I was 10 & cried every time it came on the radio. And here I am now, wiping away tears even though I enjoyed Jamel's reaction. This song really stayed with us.💙
Linda Camarda I was a young lad also when this was a hit.
Me too................. make a grown man cry ..........
Mine, too, Linda. ❤️
You could do a whole week of nothing but Four Season hits. Hell they made a hit Broadway musical about them.
You would like the song hang on sloopy. Most people messed up the title by calling it hang on snoopy. Its one of the Greats!.

I saw the musical a couple of year ago great show. I would go back and see it again.
Lived in the area they're from: North Newark and Silver Lake, Belleville, NJ.

This has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing the history. ❤️

Andrew,
Bob gave her a 10.00 tip , he didn’t have anything smaller .
@@robert-ef8qv Back when $10 was a good amount of money.
Absolutely Robert .. huge
I heard also he kept looking at her in the rearview mirror of the car as they drove away just standing there in her rags looking after him and thats the vision that stayed with him that moved him to write the song.
I just love that xylophone marching relentlessly along with everything.
Yellow is a fantastic color on you, J. Matches your bright as day personality! ☀️
Thanks Sista🙏🏾
Handsome man! Right!!?
Barbara Butterfield, OH YES!! ❤️
Lou Christie was another great falsetto singer. Lighting striking again, Rhapsody in the Rain, Two faces have I. All great tunes.
Yes yes yes.....I'm Gonna Make You Mine
YES!! LOVE HIM! great suggestion!
Yes, please to Lou Christie.
Yes!!!! I love him
Lightning Strikes Me Again is a great Lou Christie song.

Three minutes used to be long for AM radio.
This is my absolute favorite Four Seasons song. The harmonies are magnificent, beautifully arranged and spectacularly delivered!
Thanks Man! Frankie Valli's voice was a force of Nature...
Great Song with Fantastic Lyrics.
Love has No Limits.
A True Song that is Relevant as ever.
Beautiful harmonies, beautiful words, I'm crying.
Been a life long fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons , I saw them on the Liverpool Empire 1968 and been a big fan ever scince Frankie was a one off ..
Heard this song as a young child. I cried and cried.

@@snicky58 their version of Silence is the first one I ever heard
@@oldermusiclover Yes, same here. 💙
"Silence Is Golden" really brings on the nostalgia for me. Love it but it still hurts to hear it.
He wrote “Short Shorts” by his group, the Royal Teens, in 1957 when he was 15 years of age.
THE CULMINATION OF THE SOUND OF THE 4 SEASONS SOUND IS THIS SONG.EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM IS THIS SONG!
Love you are bringing oldies to the mainstream. My parents listened to this music when I grew up. And, I’m technically a millennial, but none of my friend knew this music.
- Who Loves You
- Beggin'
- Dawn (Go Away)
- Let's Hang On
- Candy Girl
YES!
Stay, Opus 17, Ive Got You Under My Skin, Peanuts!
Beggin, turned up loud.
I’ve requested songs over a year ago. It’s a musical ride, we’ll get there.
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.
I'm luving my Friday night listening to all this awesome music 🥰✌
My favourite track of all time, riding on the funfair....'shout if you want to go faster' we definitely shouted!!! 😂
I just love this group. I grew up listening this group as a kid in the 70’s and love them still. Happy you are getting your fill - so much more sir!
Love this. Got to see him in Concert a few years ago at the amphitheater in Costa Mesa. Of all the concerts i have been to( and i have been to a lot) this really was the best. The kind of music that touches the soul.
Might have been at that show. In his 80's and still hitting those high notes. I was amazed.
I was also at that show in Costa Mesa and Valli is such a great singer and entertainer.
Always come to have my spirits lifted by the music we all enjoy, your enthusiasm and the twinkle in your eye. It's all worth it. Thanks.
Jamel, so glad you listen and react to a wide variety of music. I think this is my favorite song of theirs.
That music again we was playing in the 60s Bronx 💪I love that words " though I love her so I can't let her go "
Such a beautiful song and thank you for your review. This song happens to be one of the biggest hits of 1964 and the bands 4th number 1 hit in less then two years. To think that when rolling stone magazine came out a few years back with the top 500 greatest songs recorded, not one Valli or 4 Seasons song made it on that list. The 4 Seasons are the first American band to have three number 1 hit songs in a row, played their own instruments and wrote their own songs before The Beach Boys and Beatles.
That kind of problem happens in every generation. It's an endless theme.
I always try to find the inner beauty in people.
Let's Hang On! is another great Four Seasons song to add to your list.
He’s already done it
@@AussieGirl235 I did a search for it, but didn't find it.
Jeff Lichtman - Might have gotten taken down
Oh no,
that one reminds me of the great blackout of 1965 in New York City
Walk Like A Man. Many great songs by them.
Frankie Valli gives you chills. The music from that era was just phenomenal. Before my time. Dressed like ladies and gentlemen.
I was fortunate to see Frankie Valli at a concert in the UK, a few years ago. Still got an amazing voice! Fantastic!
Have always loved this song but not sure I've heard it with headphones before. I'd never noticed the clapping at the end of the song.
Yeah, that high note at the end kind of blows everything else out the water.
They wrote this song from an actual experience of a Girl begger dressed in Rags!!!
okay
It's true. 🙂
amazing harmony - such a unique sound - how can anyone dislike this for goodness sake?
Yes! This IS music, people! Love you, Jamel! Staying tuned for more great music. Also, love the shirt!
This is my favorite song of The Four Seasons. It encompasses everything with bold yet calm drum beat, tambourine, instruments, harmonizing vocals, lead singer, story in song with a lesson in humanity.
Agree.
I've been enjoying my own private dance party this Friday evening. Thanks friend.
THE FOURS SEASON'S are one of my FAVORITE band,My UNCLE'S played them all the time when l was young!! That area of MUSIC was FABULOUS!! Thank you, your responses are always on point!!!!
"Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace." You nailed it Jamel. And the story about how this song came about is wonderful. Thanks for this.
Frankie, one of the best singers ever. In ANY style. Maybe even the best, so much heart, raw emotion, still hits you in the gut after 50 years hearing it
I saw them twice in concert, so fun each time. Their songs are great sing alongs!
They made some great songs; Rag doll is my favorite. Beautifully put together, the guys sung their hearts out, and they wanted only to help her. The right ingredients to get the best results.
Had me in tears from the first note, even though I know the song it still gets to me.
My brother, it thrills me to no end that you appreciate the amazing music from my era! Nothing against newer music, but this stuff was a special time in American music.
I feel honored to be a part of this musical journey.
When I was in my late teens I used to listen to this over and over on my transistor radio. Most young people don't even know that's a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. I think we all could relate back then. I love your post.
Now this was my Mom and Dad's music. My father was a big music fan and he was born during the first wave of Rock n Roll (1938). He got to see all the greats and he got to see these guys live. My dad had a kick @$$ record collection and this gem was in his collection. I love Rag Doll but my favorite song by these guys is Dawn. Aww man what a song and what a group! The Four Seasons were amazing like you!! You take care and stay safe 😷
I love "Lets Hang On"and of course "Grease"
Another good group is Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Gary is the son of the late comedian Jerry Lewis
They had several hit songs:
This Diamond Ring
Save Your Heart For Me
Count me In
Everybody Loves A Clown
Just My Style
They are just a really fun group!
Been loving these Four Seasons vids. A few others hit to check out are "Let's Hang On," "Dawn," "Opus 17," and "Working My Way Back to You."
Opus 17 definitely!!!
Sssssssooooooooo Glad Ur Doin All These TRUE CLASSICS.... Definitely Brightening Up My Day 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🎧🎤🎶🎧🎤🎶🎧🎤🎶🎧🎤🎶👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One of my all time favorites. From the four seasons. Again I cut my teeth on these oldies and so did my babies. I hope they are never forgotten or lost.
This has been a great trip down memory lane when I was able to see Jersey Boys on Broadway ☮❤
I got so much just from your interpretation of the meaning of the song! Really touched brother.
My favorite Four Seasons song ever
My favorite one.
I love how you enjoy the songs of my youth. You are so right! Music will unite us! Keep up your love of good music, it truly is cross-generational!

Such a fabulous and a beautiful song! Always has been always will be 😊😊The brilliant Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons !
I love the way you moved to this song! It is a song that forces emotion on you and we can not be jamming to it.
GREAT session drummer was Buddy Saltzman
Sweet song, brings a tear to the eye. Glad you enjoyed this.
Wow .A big 6ft5 man swooning over our music ,making it your own.Thank you for appreciating such good music.
Now you can see why Frankie Valli and the Four seasons had so many hits.They knew how to do it, and they put in the work.
My personal favorite from them. The melody, lyrics, harmonies & the overall musical arrangement & production (including the drums/tambourine) is first class-top notch.
Absolutely timeless recording as with many of their songs;
Rag doll, one of my all time favorties from the Four seasons!.... Love that song man! Thank you!
So glad to see you going on the Four Seasons journey! Love their songs and this one is one of my favorites, because of the lyrics. Keep on playing these great tunes Jamel! Got to get my old school fix from your videos Jamel. Keep them coming!
I love how you feel the music and also feel the lyrics. Thank you for sharing your reflections with us.
Great post Jamal. I saw Jersey Boys well over 50 times, and grew up with the music of The Four Seasons. I really think "Rag Doll" is one of their best, but hasn't gotten the airplay of many of the others! Great commentary man!! Thanks.
Love it when they open up full volume harmony one if the best groups of the 60s. Dawn is another great song
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN IN MY LIFETIME... THE XYLOPHONE,, THE PERFECT... TOUCH... ya mean
"Ditto"
Jamal, I really enjoy your reactions. They are the best! You have so much love and joy, it shows in every video
I would have to say this is my favorite Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song. Even as a little kid I understood the meaning of the song. Growing up poor and living in the projects might have helped with that. I have listened to this song for quite some time and listening to it now brought me back to those days in the '60's.
Dawn! Thanks so much, and goodnight on the east coast.... 💕😇
Jamal!!!! Love your positive energy, thank you for these forgotten hits!! My kids love this group, they are in their early 20's
Little Anthony and the imperials- tears on my pillow!! On the outside looking in, great songs!!!
I had older brothers and sisters and could listen to them all the time when I was young. I love them.
Your so right Jamal this is music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Gotta love The Four Seasons. They had so many enjoyable hits all with that signature voice. There were a few other falsetto hit songs of theitmr era but Frankie Valli was in a premier league all his own .
Thank you so much for continuing to post these great tunes... we appreciate you!!
Jamel, I love your insight and willingness to check out music, even older music. Thank you.
I heard this song growing up in the 80s my parents ALWAYS had their “oldies” station playing. I haven’t heard in sooo many years til now. Thank you Jamel. I find myself coming back to hear this song and others. Really appreciating this song especially. It’s so good. Thank you for reminding me of good childhood times with my family. 👍🏼
Love Frankie. About the same time was the Supremes Love Child which was even more of the statement of the times.
especially since it was about her and the boss
Rag Doll (1964), Love Child (1968). From a 2020 perspective around the same time, but certainly not what it felt like back then.
@@jimhuggard5398 Growing up in the 60's I always like there was so many classes and it was easy to feel out of place.I took me into my middle to late 20's to feel comfortable in nice sit down restaurants.
@@jimhuggard5398 for sure Jim, hindsight is always 20/20 right?
"This is music, people!". TY.
This song shows how important learned behaviour from our parents and peers is, love the song, great reaction
You seem to be part of the new generation of hippies! Today’s popular music just doesn’t hold a candle to the old stuff, my generation, and I was fortunate to go see the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, seats up front, unforgettable for sure!
It's great to see your honest reaction to the songs and the emotional feelings you express to each song. I experienced most of these when they first released. Our experience and reaction to this music is much the same. What's new to you are memories to me. Thanks for keeping it alive! Great videos! Peace out.
july 25, 1964 billboard top 3 - #1 rag doll, #2 beatles with a hard days night, #3 beach boys I get around. 1964 was an awesome year for pop music
I love the contrast between the drums and the high tenor coice. Thanks Jamal
