The Four Seasons were formed in 1961 with Frankie Valli as the lead singer , Bob Gaudio on keyboards, Tommy DeVito on lead guitar and Nick Massi on bass. The band released their first hit "Sherry" in 1962. Under the guidance of producer/songwriter Bob Crewe, The Four Seasons followed up "Sherry" with several well-remembered hits, including "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like a Man" and "Candy Girl". In the mid 1960s, the British Invasion slowed down their career somewhat, but the Four Seasons released several more big hits in 1964, such as "Dawn", "Rag Doll", which was the first single on WABC Radio, New York to be "pick hit of the week" one week and the number 1 single the following week, "Big Man in Town", "Ronnie" and "Save It for Me". Nick Massi left the Four Seasons in 1965, however, and was soon replaced by Joe Long who became the mainstay on bass and backup vocals. Several more Top 10 singles followed, including "Let's Hang On", "Working My Way Back To You", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", and "C'mon Marianne"; but by 1967 the group's popularity was deteriorating, as public interest moved towards rock with a harder edge and more socially conscious lyrics. The band would, however, enjoy a brief revival in their popularity in the mid 1970s, with the hits "Who Loves You", "Swearin' to God", and their last number one hit "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)". The latter of the 3 songs was re-introduced in 1994 with the original vocals but an edgier dance background beat and reached ..14 on the pop charts, but more impressively, stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 for half a year. In 1976, the group provided a Beatles cover of "We Can Work It Out" for the transitory musical documentary All This and World War II.
The band name is also the name of a legal partnership, The 4 Seasons Partnership, that Valli and Gaudio entered into at the start of their careers, agreeing to split all the proceeds from their musical efforts 50-50. The partnership continues to this day.
The Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Jersey Boys, a musical play based on the lives of The Four Seasons, directed by Des McAnuff (The Who's Tommy, 700 Sundays) premiered at his La Jolla (California) Playhouse and opened on Broadway on November 6, 2005, to generally positive reviews. It won the 2006 Tony Awards for Best Leading and Featured Actor in a Musical won by John Lloyd Young & Christian Hoff, Best Light Design in a Musical and Best Musical.
The group's music was one of many influences to the Jersey Shore sound of the 1970's and 1980's. However, by the late 1970s Valli was the only original band member left. Frankie Valli still tours today performing many of the Four Seasons classic songs.

Who do they think they are? They may be planning to put everyone in bondage through mind control. I discovered this ladies article today after I’d paid upteen detectives and ex federal agents to investigate my home. They noticed strange activity. They discovered too high radio waves everywhere and a train signal running through my front yard. Waves that didn’t belong. Military soldiers had cut a path and were coming on my property nightly to torture with equipment. I phoned my FBI regularly and they did nothing. This lady wrote an article I stumbled upon today about giant computer that controls everyone. This women says one of the computers is in Maryland. It makes a lot of sense. Must be why they freaked when I went to Vegas. The president is bowing before an Asian leader. the Asian countries and Europe are supposidly using this slave technology. I know this is real. I suffer daily for my mind. Read her article and see for yourself. This is real.
Just pray and never surrender to evil because God has the highest voice.
Sherry Lee Bondage- I have lived through tornado's floods, automobile accidents, coma, getting hit by a car but this human bondage stuff is the worst. evil I am chilling to the bone and have a massive headache today. I am starting to see how they torture you when you don’t perform to their specification or try to reach out others and ...tell them of your horrors. They know my every mood. The device they use can register when you are depressed, angry, happy. It alters your moods through shock. People have phoned from Maryland and various cities. They send satanic stuff with devil heads and smiley faces and threaten me. They have broken into my home on multiple occassions and placed dead birds birds and mice inside. They say my property is theirs. If you possess a brilliant mind in this day and age, you’ll suffer. They monitor your phone calls and record what you say. They invade your personal space and say they have nude photos of you posted on line at porn sites they captured with hidden cameras in your home. They are constantly stalking. They use computer imagery to harass me on line. They try to break down your mind. Whatever they can do to alter the emotions in the brain and mess with your heart like demon terrorists. They can't read your many say they can.I do believe they can stimulate and observe your moods to disconnect certain frequencies and alter your personal feelings. I am still under control. My willpower is fully in charge but my body is getting weak, my spine. My mind is getting numb. Certain areas are getting disconnected and detached from the rest because I keep a numb feeling. It's as if they are doing a lobotomy. I can see my right lobe contract. Is it a way to keep me quite? I ha
