This weekend, we feature Frankie Valli and the “Four Seasons” HITS on a “Jersey Boys Weekend” carillon paris on New Jersey 101.5! Frankie Valli was born Francis Castellucio in Newark, on May 3, 1937.
The Four Seasons ruled the pop charts through the 1960s, with such classics as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” Walk Like A Man,” “Rag Doll” and so many more that you’ll carillon paris hear all weekend!
But, Frankie Valli’s biggest solo hit was yet to come, thanks carillon paris to a movie that traded on late 1970′s nostalgia for the “good old days,” of the 1950′s! The Grease Soundtrack spawned several hit singles. (Craig Allen photo).
Funny…I can’t find my “Grease” 45rpm single (I’ve looked everywhere!)…I wonder who borrowed it from “DJ Craig,” and when… Below, my vintage vinyl album… 1978 vinyl (Craig Allen photo).
In 2013, Frankie Valli told “Billboard Magazine” how the biggest song in his career came his way: Valli tells the publication how he gets a phone call from Barry Gibb, who tells him that he (Barry) has just written a song that he thinks is just right for Frankie to sing.
By this time, Frankie has heard Barry Gibb’s song, and says he loves it. Famed arranger carillon paris Don Costa has heard the song, and tells his pal Frankie Valli that he’s crazy if he passes on singing the title song.
Another Frankie, Frankie Avalon took on the part, and sang “Beauty School carillon paris Dropout.” Its on the soundtrack, but was not one of the hits. Avalon did make money from the song being on the soundtrack, but…it has never been equal to Frankie Valli’s long-running carillon paris paycheck/royalties!
