Was arguing with the hubby and then I said, "Let's watch some Jamel for a couple of minutes and laugh and forget we are arguing."...and that's what we did! ...lol
When I was a kid I thought the line was "My girl, Six Foot Nine (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)". Nearly three decades later I finally realized it was "My Girl Said Goodbye (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)".
You always are so positive with every video you do with the songs suggests, have you ever thought of doing an occasional video of songs you want us to hear, the ones that truly mean something to you. Please keep doing what you do! Xo
The Four Seasons and the Beach Boys had a friendly running feud back in the early 60s, so the Beach Boys wrote a song called SURFERS RULE, which ends with "Four Seasons, you better believe it' while they sing the falsetto from WALK LIKE A MAN of the 4 Seasons. You should play that. It's really good. Play "Walk Like a Man" first, then "Surfers Rule", so you'll hear where it comes from.
Jamel you should check out a Santana hidden gem. Aqua Marine off the Marathon album. It is an insrumental. This is a masterpiece. Even if you just give it a personal listen you will be transported to a blissful place. Love your joyful spirit.
It's based on ALL their lives, not just Frankie Valli. The original Broadway musical was stupendous! Saw it three times because I kept taking others to see it...it was that good. The movie was okay but nowhere near as good as the show.
could you imagine Jemel in the car on a road trip listing to the oldies channel on the radio.He be sing and rocking and bopping he would be a riot on a road trip lol
Joe Pesci was partially responsible for Frankie Valli's big break...they were friends and Joe introduced Frankie to a singer/songwriter friend of his....that led to the formation of The Four Seasons
Clicked for that exact reason lol. Actually love this guy so much was glad to see he made a reaction video to a song that set the tone for my favorite movie ever.
Yes yes yes!!!!!! Omg! I am loving you listening to Frankie...I have got to get my son to see these reactions before he leaves to go over seas again... ✌✌✌✌
You’ve got to hear a song of theirs which rarely gets requested: “C’mon Marianne”. When he hits the high notes on that one - OMG! I heard that particular song influenced The Doors song “Touch Me” which came out the following year. There’s an echo effect on it that I really like too. Great song! Check it out.
Del Shannon was a bit earlier but still in the same era. Little Runaway is famous for the falsetto "why why why why why..." in the chorus and probably one of the first clavinet solos in rock and roll history.
Almost everybody seems to be worked up and in a frenzy tonight since Jamel has been reviewing Frankie Valli songs. Everyone wants to throw in their list of suggestions of songs not only Frankie Valli songs but other songs as well and they're throwing them out strong and heavy. I can really feel the excitement.I got my list in. Frankie Valli and the four seasons brings back such happy memories.
Sarah Stewart well being a DJ for a major radio statio for over 30 years we considered it a crash for the simple fact of the anti disco sentiment and the openly aired bee gee free weekend. But you seem to know more than I do. Ok. Lol
@@williammorton3370 I didn't say I knew everything. I just don't see it from your standpoint that's all. And you know what Mr know it all? THAT'S OKAY.😂
Sarah Stewart well then dont start a comment with the disco era did not crash. That is implying that I dont know what I am talking about. Hmmmmm. Typical. You make a derogatory implication then get butt hurt when called out on it. Have a great day snowflake.
I've been listening to all reactions to music I grew up with from my parent's generation. It's just amazing to watch. I' didn't see the reaction to the original Lovin' you by Minnie Ripperton. I think it would be an amazing one for you! I only just heard the original recently. Keep enjoying music. I'm here to stay for the content!
AI YI YI He sounds like my cat when she's whining. LOL. But man, Frankie Valli is iconic and easily recognizable. I like your trip to old old school today.
Brings back so many memories of my youth. My grandmother bought me a tranistter radio back then. My mom used to complain about having to put out 25cents for a new battery every other week because I felt asleep listening to this fantastic music
Who doesn’t like to share good music with a friend? It’s another way to React. 😊 i enjoyed listening to these songs with you and reading the Comments from others who were also singing along.
Jamel, there is a guy you should check out named Fill, who runs a channel called "Wings of Pegasus.' He is a guitar player and teacher in England who breaks down one song or performance a night. He plays it, then breaks down how the parts of the band are playing together and how and why the song works, and how it works or what's cool about it on guitar. While your reactions are about appreciation and exploring the music, he comes at it as a guitar teacher. If you like the old school, that is what he is teaching. Here is a link to the video page of his channel, pick a couple of songs you like and watch his take on them. I'm pretty sure you will dig it. ua-cam.com/users/wingsofpegasusvideos
Jay & the Americans is another group you should ck out please. Is it me or does it seem like it always summer listening to these songs and watching Jamal. Thank you for doing a great job
Jamal. Just went and saw Frankie Valli LIVE this week in Modesto, CA. The man is 88 years old and his show was amazing. His band is so "tight" and his singers really complimented Frankie. You are now my official best friend and favorite UA-cam channel so I wanted to share with you. Doc
So glad to see Jamal reacting to these...I had seen his reations to My Eyes Adored You, and another 70's one from them...and I was thinking--oh, he has to hear their old, 60's stuff--yippee!!
Written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio and was inspired by a line in the 1955 western Tennessee's Partner, starring John Payne, Rhonda Fleming and Ronald Reagan. When Payne's character slaps the blonde bombshell played by Fleming, he asks her what she thinks about being slapped. She gets up, composes herself, and replies, "Big girls don't cry."
Check out Jersey Boys.....they sound so much like Frankie Call I and the Four Seasons....it will blow ur mind They r really really good Let's all keep great music alive
My baby sisters name is Sherri. She was born '62. LOL OMG we used to drive her nuts playing or singing The Four Seasons "Sherri" Good memories; good vibes. Thanks
I remember having the soundtrack to the movie Mermaids and this was on it. My mom gave it to me when I was little and I played it over and over. Such a good soundtrack!!
Jamal, do you realize "rabbit hole" has a different definition than how you're using it? You should look it up. Rabbit Hole: a term used to refer to a bizarre, confusing, or nonsensical situation or environment, typically one from which it is difficult to extricate oneself.
Was arguing with the hubby and then I said, "Let's watch some Jamel for a couple of minutes and laugh and forget we are arguing."...and that's what we did! ...lol
Jamel AKA Jamal AKA Marriage consular.
🤣🤣🤣
- Who Loves You
- Beggin'
- Dawn (Go Away)
- Let's Hang On
- Rag Doll
- Candy Girl
Beggin' is there most underrated song imo
Yes! Dawn and Rag Doll!
Yes, more, more, more 4 seasons!
YES to all of them :)
What a great night of music 🎶♥️ I hope you never stop doing this Jamel ☮️
In the early 60's you had the Four Seasons representing the East coast and the Beach Boys holding down the West coast.
And the Righteous Brothers doing it too from coast to coast.
@@finitychance5651 One brother per coast?
And Motown in the middle!
never thought about it that way but your're right
And I loved both groups! We had THE BEST music in the 60’s!!!!! 🎶 ❤️ 🎶
You should do let’s hang on, and candy girl, amazing voices
Yes absolutely, I forgot about that one
When I was a kid I thought the line was "My girl, Six Foot Nine (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)". Nearly three decades later I finally realized it was "My Girl Said Goodbye (My Oh My) My Girl, Didn't Cry (I Wonder Why)".
It's alright to listen to music with people. That's what we're here for!
You always are so positive with every video you do with the songs suggests, have you ever thought of doing an occasional video of songs you want us to hear, the ones that truly mean something to you. Please keep doing what you do! Xo
Those are my soul train Saturday videos I do
Love that rabbit hole. Thank you for bringing it back.
The Four Seasons and the Beach Boys had a friendly running feud back in the early 60s, so the Beach Boys wrote a song called SURFERS RULE, which ends with "Four Seasons, you better believe it' while they sing the falsetto from WALK LIKE A MAN of the 4 Seasons. You should play that. It's really good. Play "Walk Like a Man" first, then "Surfers Rule", so you'll hear where it comes from.
And the fact Frankie is well into his 80’s and still reaching those notes. He’s incredible!
This is one of my Favorite Songs of Theirs💃👍
Or the live stage version if it's ever playing near your neighborhood. Fantastic.
"It's only right we do it!" You're not wrong.. you're not wrong, man. Keep it going! You're on fire.
Most people are unaware of Frankie's later career with the Muppets: Gonzo The Great!
Watching your videos makes me want to throw a party so I could invite you! It would be the best party EVER!!!
Jamel you should check out a Santana hidden gem. Aqua Marine off the Marathon album. It is an insrumental. This is a masterpiece. Even if you just give it a personal listen you will be transported to a blissful place. Love your joyful spirit.
Jamel, you almost got the Stroll down! Just a little bit more foot action and you could teach it! Best dance to all these songs.
I love rabbit holes 🤣🙌🥰
the late Panama Francis on drums a I think or maybe Buddy Saltzman
Such a deep "Rabbit Hole" eh !?
Like everybody’s saying..... you really need to see the movie “Jersey Boys”
Those three notes on the “ai-yai-yai’ really cut through the decades like a knife 😎 Thanks for the personification of those notes. 🙏 🎶
^ ^ FACTS ^ ^
Those notes still pierce my soul like Cupid’s arrow.
Jamel you really need to see the movie "Jersey Boys." It is based on Frankie Valli's life. Great viewing and listening.
The musical was great! The movie would be okay. Didn't Clint Eastwood produce or direct it?
@@v.2080 I think so
It's based on ALL their lives, not just Frankie Valli. The original Broadway musical was stupendous! Saw it three times because I kept taking others to see it...it was that good. The movie was okay but nowhere near as good as the show.
Seeing it live first is important because, while Clint did a good job, there’s no comparison; people deserve to leave a live performance humming.
I’d like to see a Jamel reaction to “Jersey Boys” the movie!
could you imagine Jemel in the car on a road trip listing to the oldies channel on the radio.He be sing and rocking and bopping he would be a riot on a road trip lol
I would want to be on that road trip fun fun🙋🏻♀️
He would make a great deejay, wouldn’t he?
I'd volunteer for a road trip with him. LOL
I would love to sit in the backseat
Joe Pesci was partially responsible for Frankie Valli's big break...they were friends and Joe introduced Frankie to a singer/songwriter friend of his....that led to the formation of The Four Seasons
I still remember watching their Tonys performance where the members were on stage with Joe and he explained his role in everything
Cool. I did not know that
That was back when Joe was working his shine nox.
It’s just a big ole party listening to this with you, Jamel, and watching with y’all.
I'm gonna say it till you do it!! Everly brothers! "Wake up little Suzie"
Just Love your variety and your real expressions and “Stank Face”😂👍🏼🙏🏻 God Bless You, Brother, your a shining light in dark times🙏🏻
It would be really cool to see you react to “Hot Rod Lincoln” by Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen . It will make you smile.
This song always makes me think of Dirty Dancing.
Clicked for that exact reason lol. Actually love this guy so much was glad to see he made a reaction video to a song that set the tone for my favorite movie ever.
Ikr, I thought I remembered it from the movie
I feel like I'm at a sock hop dance 💃🕺Luv it!
Hey, Jamel can change Saturdays to "Sock Hop Saturday" !!
When you react, it's really like me hearing it again for the first time!! Thank you, God bless! 💖💖💖
Rag Doll please!!!
I recommend Dawn. It's my favorite.
Thank you so much Jamel for being here.
This is the song my parents named me from. "Lovely as a midsummers morn, they called her Dawn."
My daughter was named Dawn.
It's a beautiful name. I always wanted to have a little girl to name Cassandra Dawn.
Yes yes yes!!!!!! Omg! I am loving you listening to Frankie...I have got to get my son to see these reactions before he leaves to go over seas again... ✌✌✌✌
You’ve got to hear a song of theirs which rarely gets requested: “C’mon Marianne”. When he hits the high notes on that one - OMG! I heard that particular song influenced The Doors song “Touch Me” which came out the following year. There’s an echo effect on it that I really like too. Great song! Check it out.
There were other falsetto singers at this time. Lou Christie and Gene Pitney come to mind.
Lou Christie's Lightning Strikes would be an excellent choice!
Roy Orbison
Del Shannon was a bit earlier but still in the same era. Little Runaway is famous for the falsetto "why why why why why..." in the chorus and probably one of the first clavinet solos in rock and roll history.
Yes! and The Newbeats
@@sounder9393 what about Christies 2 faces have I, really showcases the falsesetto
Jamel my brotha!! Another Classic!! 🙌😂💪
Also Bobby Vinton had an amazing falsetto. Mr. Lonely is a great song by Him.
Billy Joel paid props to them with his song Up Town Girl
I love this song and I’m so glad you are playing the music you play...it’s all good
"Sherry" is another hit that needs to be heard!! this one will may be a sing along as well. Cheers!!! Loving your channel!!!
I love coming hear to listen to music with you! 👏

Lou Christie: "Lighting Striking Again". There is a stage video, big guy in a denim suit, hot dude, he's another one that has got the falsetto.
I know we all singing 🎤❤️
Another great reaction 🙂🙂🙂🙂 oh I’m the first comment for the first time.
Everybody on the floor- it’s cha cha time!
Karen, can’t not think of Dirty Dancing when I hear this!
Kara Turner indeed!
Alone - The Bee Gees. Redemption of their career song. Great stuff. Come back album after the disco era crashed.
The Disco Era did not 'crash'. It just came to an end with the changing tide like everything else in life. Lol
Robin killed that song!
Sarah Stewart well being a DJ for a major radio statio for over 30 years we considered it a crash for the simple fact of the anti disco sentiment and the openly aired bee gee free weekend. But you seem to know more than I do. Ok. Lol
@@williammorton3370 I didn't say I knew everything. I just don't see it from your standpoint that's all. And you know what Mr know it all? THAT'S OKAY.😂

Just amazing music that reminds me of my childhood. I was born in the 60's but have a 40'S/50'S Soul..great
I've been listening to all reactions to music I grew up with from my parent's generation. It's just amazing to watch. I' didn't see the reaction to the original Lovin' you by Minnie Ripperton.

He sounds like my cat when she's whining. LOL. But man, Frankie Valli is iconic and easily recognizable. I like your trip to old old school today.
Jamal, What a pleasure to hear this song with ur reaction. U r great! U really feel the music and make it of ur own. Thanks for share urself
Totally Made My Day With this one 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
👍👍👍 Rag Doll!! Dawn!!!
I see the silver YOU TUBE BUTTON during your intro, CONGRATS!
Brings back so many memories of my youth. My grandmother bought me a tranistter radio back then. My mom used to complain about having to put out 25cents for a new battery every other week because I felt asleep listening to this fantastic music
You gotta do Jay and the Americans "Cara Mia" their styles are def different, but the voices are incredible!! Thank you and God bless!! 💖
Absolutely love that song. One day for a change they were playing oldies at my workplace and I heard it for the first time. Amazing.
@@labyfan1313 saw them and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons back in the 70s..my first concert!! It was incredible!! 💖
Jay Black. Another Jersey Boy with an amazing voice.
Please sample “Bye Bye Baby” by them...Probably their best musicianship along with the great vocals and harmonies.
I've listened to this hundreds of times in the 60's....on my dinky transister radio, but now with headphones....wow! It's like a new song!
I was 2 1/2 when this came out. Can't say that's when I remember it from, but at 3 probably.
"Walk Like A Man" is the 4 Seasons 3rd #1 in a row. Their first 3 releases went to #1.
Who doesn’t like to share good music with a friend? It’s another way to React. 😊 i enjoyed listening to these songs with you and reading the Comments from others who were also singing along.
Watch the movie " Jersey Boys " and it will make you an even bigger fan!
Awesome !!! Now you need to do The Beach Boys, Good Vibrations. The recording sound on this is incredible, great harmonies. A truly classic song.
If you want to hear one of their highest vocals song, listen to “Peanuts”
Okay since you're in this Rabbit Hole I think it's time for some Buddy Holly
Yeah another one keeps getting better an better 🤗🤗🤗🎶🤗🎶🤗🎶🎶🌟🌟🌟

Yes, Jamel and Fil are my favorites to watch. Both are excellent.
Please jump back to their 70s comeback and react to "Who Loves You". It's on the same album as Oh What A Night. Great time! Love your video! Peace!!
The start of this song love it! This big girl boohoo crrrrryiiiiyi😄 byyyyyiyiiii. Doing my pony
Frankie Valli had an incredible falsetto voice back them.
Jay & the Americans is another group you should ck out please. Is it me or does it seem like it always summer listening to these songs and watching Jamal. Thank you for doing a great job
Frankie Valli- Beggin
Jamal. Just went and saw Frankie Valli LIVE this week in Modesto, CA. The man is 88 years old and his show was amazing. His band is so "tight" and his singers really complimented Frankie. You are now my official best friend and favorite UA-cam channel so I wanted to share with you. Doc
The "I wonder why" from the back up singers always sounded sarcastic to me, like they were calling out the main singer for being an idiot.
So glad to see Jamal reacting to these...I had seen his reations to My Eyes Adored You, and another 70's one from them...and I was thinking--oh, he has to hear their old, 60's stuff--yippee!!
How but some Doo wop❓ The Shirelles, The Marvelettes, The Chiffons etc❣️❣️❣️
Written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio and was inspired by a line in the 1955 western Tennessee's Partner, starring John Payne, Rhonda Fleming and Ronald Reagan. When Payne's character slaps the blonde bombshell played by Fleming, he asks her what she thinks about being slapped. She gets up, composes herself, and replies, "Big girls don't cry."
Saw them live once by accident! Went to OC Maryland and they were doing a FREE concert on the boardwalk...had no idea! Was GREAT!!!!!
Check out Jersey Boys.....they sound so much like Frankie Call I and the Four Seasons....it will blow ur mind
They r really really good
Let's all keep great music alive
My baby sisters name is Sherri. She was born '62. LOL OMG we used to drive her nuts playing or singing The Four Seasons "Sherri" Good memories; good vibes. Thanks
Love your genuine reactions 🙂
I saw the Four Seasons in 1977 and they played ALL their hits and sounded great!! (Damn I'm old haha)
Opus 17 - that's my favorite song by the Four Seasons. Once you hear it, you'll be glad you listened to it.
I remember having the soundtrack to the movie Mermaids and this was on it. My mom gave it to me when I was little and I played it over and over. Such a good soundtrack!!
Thank you for delving onto the Four Seasons. I grew up in my neighborhood with these guys. Good clean fun.
This is in the movie "The Wanderers" also. Funny part of the movie.
Yes it was LOL
It was also in Dirty Dancing
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were the sound of the mid-60s!!
Jamal, do you realize "rabbit hole" has a different definition than how you're using it? You should look it up.
Rabbit Hole: a term used to refer to a bizarre, confusing, or nonsensical situation or environment, typically one from which it is difficult to extricate oneself.
I just looked it up and can't find any other clear definitions
First time I heard this song I was 14 years old getting ready for school. That was 60 years ago.
I love the 4 Seasons
Jamel is really enjoying these songs. He was born in the wrong era of 60s and 70s
Frankie and The Americans ok ok ok ok Jay and The Americans... Come a little closre
I was 10 years old and at summer camp. We danced to this song over and over.
Saw him on concert 2019 and he is still going strong in 2022.
Dion and The Belmonts another great group!!!
Brother put a permanent link in your vids to your store! Peace
I sure enjoy the great music with Jamel! 🎶
Great song 💫👍🏻👌🏼🎤💃💕
