I absolutely LOVE Gerry Polci (drummer). Most don't know that he hated singing, lol. And he has a fabulous voice. He's now a drum instructor at a local high school and loving life. He was married to Frankie Valli's daughter at the time of this video. I'm 60 now and not ashamed to say that I think my age group had an experience or two like in this song, lol.
Another one of the great groups from the 60's. Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons had so many hits together such as "Silence Is Golden", "Sherry", "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "Candy Girl", "Ronnie", "Dawn", "Let's Hang On!", "Working My Way Back To You", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "I've Got You Under My Skin" etc. When Frankie went out on his own in the 70's, he had the hit songs "My Eyes Adored You" & "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Also he had a hit with the song "Grease" from the movie. Always loved that he was able to sing in a falsetto voice.
You look at this group and yes I grew up in the 60s and they were huge, everybody can sing and they do doesn’t matter what instrument they’re playing everybody has a voice… When they could really sing without autotune😅
Fun Fact about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons their first Manager before they were famous was Joe Pecsi( Good Fellas, Leathal Weapon, My cousin Vinny)
The Four Seasons were one of those handful of bands that had more than one legit singer. The Eagles and Queen are also examples and of course the Beatles
Franki Valli & the Four Seasons are a goldmine of great music. Check out Sherry , Walk like a Man , My Eyes Adored you , Ragdoll , all mid sixties huge hits
Another one of their good 70's comeback songs. Now you should check out some of their 60's songs that put them on the map. Like Sherry, Walk Like a Man and Big Girls Don't Cry
Music from that era through the 80's was the *best* b/c technology didn't get in the way of authentic sound. ✌ Keep jammin' the oldies, friend. You won't go wrong!
It's no wonder you want to hear more from the drummer and my friend Gerry Polci. We're from the same hometown, Passaic, NJ and we went to school together. He was a talented drummer back in 1970 and is still drumming today at the young age of 70! His vocals made this song The Four Seasons biggest hit. Gerry's career continued after leaving The Four Seasons as the drummer for the band The Hitmen. They were fantastic!
"December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" was a number one hit for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons in 1976. Frankie Valli landed his first number one song in 1962 with "Sherry". So this clip was taped a decade and a dozen hits later. Trading off the vocals on this was a really nice touch. Frankie Valli supplies a chorus that evokes the sixties while still sounding fresh, fresh in 1976 that is, but the sound was easily recognizable back then.
You've heard 2 latter-day Frankie songs. You must listen to some of their 60's hits! I recommend, for starters: Sherry, Walk Like a Man, Rag Doll and a great classic: Stay (origially by Maurice Williams the Zodiacs, with later covers as well). His falsetto is unbeatable!
This is one of those all-time classic songs that people will be listening to 200 years from now. Legendary! On a different note, have you heard or reacted to ABBA yet? Their song "Dancing Queen" is another one of those songs that will be played forever.
Try some more….They had a lot of hits! Dawn, Sherry, can’t take my eyes off of you, walk like a Man, big girls don’t cry, let’s hang onto what we got, and a lot more
It was the night that Valli lost his virginity to an older woman. His friends Mom. So yeah, it makes sense he remembered it. Unfortunately, he did catch STD from her. But no problems back in those days, antibiotics knocked it right out.
Great reaction Biz, I'm glad you enjoy listening to this group. They have some truly wonderful songs. I'd suggest another live performance, if interested. "Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - Who Loves You (Official Music Video)" This song "Who Loves You" is the title song from their 1975 album by "The Four Seasons" it reached number #3 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1975... in other words, another Banger
Lol lol lol you ALMOST hit that high falsetto near the end, laugh. And what he's doing is quite impressive though so good luck with that. But it's definitely something to sspire to. It's not all that hard to get in the neighborhood, you know? But the bring it home and present it like that, that's like 70% the rest of the work to actually get there. He was just so good on so many levels.
You ever have a song that just TAKES you? Like I never get tired hearing this song, I feel compelled to sing along every time I hear it and it always puts me in the best mood.
I know what you're saying. The song included other singers, especially the beginning with the drummer, excellent. Frankie Valli was good but think he shouldn't be named, and should have been called just 'The Four Seasons'. Brill!!
Not sure if you have reacted to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons song, " Who Loves You", but this is another good one. Should watch the video version of this if you do. Thanks!

That's such cool bio info! Didn't know before!
I'm 58 and I can definitely ditto that last part! Didn't know the info, though. I love learning stuff here. If I retain it or not ......😂❤
I love Gerry too!
I'm 58 and you are correct.
Gerry did not hate the song. He hated the first version of it that had ridiculous lyrics. Once it was rewritten he was all in.
Was a surprise to me too when I realized Frankie wasn't the only one with an amazing voice. And not just 2 great singers, but 3!
The whole Band is cool. Don't forget to Boogie children 🤠✌️
Frankie Valle was actually in the Sopranos in the later years
The really high voice was Don Ciccone who was lead singer for the Critters in the 60s.

I do love Frankie and the boys! One of my favourites is Opus 17.

Biz got the moves! This song is fire 🔥
How many of us would enjoy the dance floor at home or anywhere with Mr. Bizmatic? He brings along Mrs. Bizmatick and we can enjoy them jamming!
The Four Seasons were one of those handful of bands that had more than one legit singer. The Eagles and Queen are also examples and of course the Beatles
Fantastic. Another of Frankies great songs, but isnt played much, is the Northern Soul song, " Youre Ready Now"
Love the bass line.
This song is just so good. Like everything they do.
Franki Valli & the Four Seasons are a goldmine of great music. Check out Sherry , Walk like a Man , My Eyes Adored you , Ragdoll , all mid sixties huge hits
Such a great song about losing your cherry. LOVE it.
p.s had the biggest crush on the drummer.
Another one of their good 70's comeback songs. Now you should check out some of their 60's songs that put them on the map. Like Sherry, Walk Like a Man and Big Girls Don't Cry

Keep jammin' the oldies, friend. You won't go wrong!
Listen to Franki Valli sing the lead in Sherry , Rag doll just to name a couple. You will hear his range vocals in other 4 Seasons songs
What a Band! Philadelphia sound.
WALK LIKE A MAN-FRANKIE VALU % THE 4 SEASONS

Ooh, Hollywood Nights. This was the transition from funk to disco.

This my favorite song of theirs, came out when I was 10 years old and I has never gotten old. Thank you Biz!

My Eyes Adored You, some beautiful shit!! ❤
By far my fave 4 seasons song! ♥

I really love this song. A classic! 🎶🎶👍

Ooh, Oedipus needed some penicillin! So...why did Mom pass it on? Yikes!
@@nancywest1926lots of people are asymptomatic with STDs.
I guess you're being funny. Frankie Valli was born in 34, so in 63 he was 29. No way he didn't lose his virginity way before that.
Frankie Valli didn’t write this song. It was written by the keyboard player.
I think it was the night he lost his virginity ...he sang "I was never gonna be the same"...that's probably why he remembered the date.

"Who Loves You" is my favorite song by these guys and it's in my permanent top 10 life favorites.

This song had a Funk/Disco beat more than 10 years before Disco actually came into being
Jersey born and raised. Love my Jersey boys. You have to see them
Sherrie!!!!
Back in the day { I'm 80}' we didn't always pay attention to the lyrics, liked the melody. They got away with a lot back then.🐱
GREAT TUNE!
Let’s Hang On next by the 4 Seasons,always loved that tune
Frankie played a gangster on The Sopranos.
I saw the Four Seasons in the seventies at our State Fair when this song was popular. Sounded just the same!
I saw them in the 70's at a state fair in PA.
Such a fun song!!!
"Silver Star" "The Night" and "My eyes adored you".
You ever have a song that just TAKES you? Like I never get tired hearing this song, I feel compelled to sing along every time I hear it and it always puts me in the best mood.
So funky ✌️
I liked this one ! Biz back in the day also on the radio a lot way back !!!!!!!
Jeff Buckley.... Hallelujah ❤️
Absolutely also Myles Kennedy 😉
My. Word. Thank you.
Gerry the drummer was a great singer but didn't like to sing...He was into his drum's...But i do agree with u that he has a great voice...
One year old when this came out but I know it and gotta dance whenever I hear great music Thanks Biz your reviews are spot on luv this channel
Thanks for listening
I was 13 when that song came out.
Great Reaction, as always.
Never heard a bad song from these Guys!
Tbh I liked the Guitarists voice best, on this one.
Is that a Vince Doll from Rex the Runt in back of you ??
Nice review, thanks!
Not sure, it’s this collection called Ugly dolls.
checkin in ,,,walk like a man ,,ragdoll ,,,,sherrie,,,big girls dont cry ,,dawn ,,ya these are the songs you hear in moviesw depicting the past
He's referring to his first time 😉
I know what you're saying. The song included other singers, especially the beginning with the drummer, excellent. Frankie Valli was good but think he shouldn't be named, and should have been called just 'The Four Seasons'. Brill!!
Ure cooking Biz!!
Chef Biz 🧑🏿🍳 😂😂😂
If you ever watched the sopranos frankie valli plays rusty. Also, Jersey Boys the musical and the movie are about Frankie and the 4 Seasons.
❤️
You are a riot! Needed these laughs. Thank you! ☮️❤️😎
🙌🏿🙌🏿
It's said that Frankie had a cold in that recording and that's why the others filled in.
Not sure if you have reacted to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons song, " Who Loves You", but this is another good one. Should watch the video version of this if you do. Thanks!
More memories from the Four Seasons!Biz did you do Walk Like A Man?
If you get a chance, check out my late friend “Bobby Caldwell and his song “What you won’t do for Love”
Anyone who likes the music by them has to watch the movie jersey Boys.
I felt the exact same way about Gerry Polci. The singing drummer sounds better than Franki!! Wish there were more songs by him!!
☮️❤️🙏🌏🌎🌍🇺🇸❤️☮️
☮️💙💙💙😎
You so goofy. Worst Italian accent eva... LOL. Prolly we'll forgive you. 🤪 song brings back great memories. Was instrumentation ahead of it's time?
😂😂😂😂
I agree that the 4 seasons sing better than Frankie Valli...
You do know Frankie's family WAS THE MOB!!!! If you can watch Jersey Boys. It is an education.
