      You are too cool for school. Always loved "The Four Seasons". Best show I ever went to was Jerry Lee with the same guys he's been working with since the beginning. The difference in our ages (I'm 64 and a half) speaks volumes about Rock n' Roll music. Keep the faith and don't forget to "Tear it up"

    • @sweetXsweet2009
      @sweetXsweet2009 8 років тому +6

      I've always wanted to see Jerry Lee, but sadly he doesn't sing anywhere near me. Frankie Valli was absolutely incredible, despite how many years have passed since him and his music were in its "prime". His voice is still as sharp as ever. I'm excited to cut a rug at Chubby's concert tomorrow night! I just hope more people my age start to realize just how golden this music is. Nothing today could ever top it!

    Certainly one of the greatest songs of all time! Today's teenager cannot imagine how this song hit the people in 1960 and influenced them for their whole life. It was not only the music and the dance. It was a groundbreaking, happy and completely new feeling of life which no one has ever seen before (& maybe till today!)

    Around the mid-1990's, Chubby Checker performed at a trade show here in California. One of my co-workers from the small company we worked at, jumped up on the stage (un-invited) and started twisting with Chubby Checker. Prior to this, she had a few adult beverages and decided "what the heck!" I was sure Chubby would have her removed. To my surprise, Chubby didn't seem to mind. In fact, they were bumping hips towards the end of the song. The entire audience enjoyed the impromptu performance. Chubby was a good sport.
