    The girl is saying, Big girls don't cry after a break up. She didn't want to see how he hurt her. He treated her cruel and broke up with her and then finds out from her mother she was crying in bed over the break up (you told a lie)

    A similar group from the same time period was Jay and the Americans. We just lost Jay Black at the end of October and like Franki Valli he was uniquely talented, so much so that he was nicknamed "The Voice". You might want to review Cara Mia to see his vocal range, other hits include Come Little Bit Closer or Some Enchanted Evening.

    This is another group I grew up with in the 60's. Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. They had so many great hits together such as "Sherry", "Walk Like a Man" & "Candy Girl", "Let's Hang On!", "Working My Way Back to You", "I've Got You Under My Skin" etc. When Frankie went out on his own in the 70's, the songs "My Eyes Adored You" & "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" were big hits for him. Also he had a hit with the song "Grease" from the movie. Always loved that he was able to sing in a falsetto voice.

    Sherry, Walk Like A Man and Big Girls Don't Cry all hit number one and over 1 million copies. Their first 3 songs all were number 1 Gold Hits. It wasn't until 1964 that they hit number 1 again with Raf Doll. A handful of top 20 hits though I'm between.

    I was 11 when that song played on Dick Clark's American Bandstand 1962 and also on 1050 CHUM Radio in Toronto Canada. I can still sing that way and never took voice lessons. I'm 72. Since I was six I have loved music and I have loved singing along with the musicians that I heard in the 50s and 60s. I learned how to sing by imitating the singers I played on the records that I played in the 1960s. The lyrics never meant anything more to me than the addition of vowels and consonants that were in sync with the rhythm musical instruments. The young singers in those days had voices that were trained by professionals. That's why they sound so good even today.

    Another review well done as the Four Seasons are my all time favorite bands and yes over The Beach Boys and The Beatles who’s music I also enjoy very much. The Four Seasons are one of the first self contained bands to play their own instruments while writing the majority of their 62 hit songs that entered the Billboard Chart. Thanks again and a classic great song Big Girls Don’t Cry is, number one for 5 straight weeks in the fall/winter of 1962.

  • @luvsdvds
    @luvsdvds 2 роки тому +3

    I always interpreted the song/story as the guy probably wanting to feel more appreciated by his girlfriend, tells her that they had to break up ,,, but he was really expecting that she would call his bluff. But the girl surprised him by accepting the break without crying or trying to get him to change his mind. She said, "Big girls don't cry" ...After the breakup her mother told him that the girl has been crying in bed. That is when he says to her, "Shame on you, your mama said you cried in bed ... Shame on you, you told a lie ... big girls do cry" So I guess the moral of the story is that some girls do a lot of crying and begging ... but there are others that they put up a brave front and hide their pain from others. A wise young man should strive to know which type his girl is , so he can be sure he won't lose her in a case of mixed messages. :)

    Shawn and Mel...I just came across a gem here on You Tube of an old, but rare footage of a 22-year-old Franki Valli. Singing with a group known then as "The Four Lovers." They were singing on the Ed Sullivan Show on May 6th, 1956. The song they were singing is titled "The Apple of my Eye."
    That is just a little head, up as to when Frankie Valli came onto the music scene. Seven years later when at the age of 28. He would join a new group known today as "The Four Seasons." And the rest is history.

    In that era ...When the boy breaks up with a girl, she should "suck it up" and not cry like a big girl. Teens were harsh back then, and the girls had to be tough to survive a "relationship" with the cool guys because if he makes her cry, he was not cool anymore. Then there were those cliques that were not cool unless they made their girlfriend cry.

Italian-Americans used that expression to their young children who were temperamental crying whining etc …. Parents would exclaim “you want to be treated like a big girl/boy ? Come on big girls /boys don’t cry!” I know I’m Italian American who grew up in Jersey and my parents said it to me all the time when I was a crybaby !Those falsetto voices and 4 part harmony of the 4 seasons is also amazing ! Hope this clarifies for those from other parts of the country !

    Valli was not happy with his vocals on the various takes of "Don't Think Twice" when he decided to record the song with a "joke" falsetto vocal (an impression of jazz musician Rose Murphy) to reduce the tension in the studio.
    An executive of Philips Records heard a replay of the recording with a "joke" vocal and wanted it to be released as a single but the recording by Valli and the band could not be released as either a Valli "solo" single or a Four Seasons single. Sold in a picture sleeve with a connect the dots puzzle, the record with the truncated name ("Don't Think Twice") was released as by "The Wonder Who?" in November 1965
