I get it. I always wished for a song with my name & mentioned that to my ex when the song "Bernadette" came on the radio as we got in the car. He said there was no song with his name either. I contradicted him, "Oh, yes, there's "George of the Jungle". Ha!
The Beach Boys song Barbara Ann came out soon after I was born. My older brother always called me that. I dont know if he remembers what my middle name actually is. Good memories.
This is their first radio hit. I danced to this at the very first dance I went to When I was in Junior High School. Separating the tracks was a way of creating a 3-D effect with the sound.
When you're marveling about how the producer/audio engineer mixed the stereo version of the song for the album, decing where to put different sounds, left to right, in the mix, it reminds me that it might never occur to you that when we all heard these songs first, it was most often on the radio And in those days, hit music was only heard on AM radio, which is not stereo, so we only heard the songs in MONO. So we never heard such a mix unless we bought the album. And even still, many albums were still being mixed in mono. And in the early '60s when this was a hit, buying albums wasn't really a big thing. If you liked the music you heard on the radio and you were a kid, you raced out to the record stoore to buy the SINGLE for like a dollar, rather than the album, which sold for around 7 or 8 bucks and had maybe a dozen songs. Most of us who were around back then, we only ever heard these songs in MONAURAL sound...unless and until the stereo versions became available...which, for many of us, wasn''t until decades later.
I think it inherently has humor in it, and that's part of what makes it just such a fun song. This is actually from my parents' generation, and I remember that my mom absolutely loved stuff like this. So at some point when I was in high school, I bought Dick Clark's Greatest Hits from the 50s, and it was a double album of mostly like 2 minutes songs. So I got exposed to a ton of it, and I really came to like it so much.
I think you said you've done two songs by them, but you've done several. It's just that the very early songs sound quite different. Songs by them you've covered include: "My Eyes Adored You," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and I thought you had done "December, 1963," but I don't see it in the list. Of early Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, you've done "Big Girls Don't Cry" and this one ("Sherry"). A logical follow-up to this one is "Walk Like A Man." If you go back to later era songs by Frankie, you have "Who Loves You" and "Grease." And of course if you haven't done "December, 1963," do it.
I named my first daughter after this song back in the 60's. And then two years later I named another daughter from a 60's song called "Sheila"..by Tommy Roe
My name is Sherry - I was born one month before this song came out so I have heard it all of my life - people used to sing it to me.

That's great! ❤
I was 7 when it came out. I used to hate when people sang it to me. I love it now.

Another great song by them that’s really fun is Walk Like A Man. Amazing vocals by the whole band in all there songs.
Rag Doll, Big Girls Don't Cry and there are many many more. Lou Christy was another one that could hit those high notes.
The high voice you hear is Frankie Valley !
Great reaction! More Franki Valli and the Four Seasons please 👍✌️

Candy Girl is another great song by The Four Seasons.
These guys have many good songs. Keep listening. And Merry Christmas to you and your family. ⛄🎄🤶❤️💚
Love that you always find something positive to say about every song
Merry Christmas Ace🎄‼️ Thank You for what you do 💖
Merry Christmas Kathryn 🎄🎄😁😁🎉
When I was young and this song came out, my four sisters and I used to dance to it incessantly on our large front porch.

I used to pay $3 for albums even in 1969.
It’s fun music which is lacking in today’s songs.
Great review and well done. Frankie Valli and his band The Four Seasons went on to chart over 60 billboard chart records in their career.
Classic. I had a crush on a girl named Sheri when I was a kid. 😃
They were a major group of late sixties their music is all sing a long vibes got to love it

The first song I ever heard from this group. We thought it was a black group for awhile.
I came here to see how many other Sherrys were here. ❤
Love it!! Saw Jersey Boys 3 times which was about Frabkie Valli and tge Four Seasons. If you have a chance to see the musical it will be well worth it

Hey Ace! Please react to a song called "That's a No No" by Jeannie C. Riley. I'm sure you will love it!
