- Here's another treat from that rainy Saturday night in Plainfield, NJ, way back in 1980. Actually, this is my favorite piece from the entire night, and I'm sure you'll see why. From the introduction, to the closing "thank you", this up-close and personal performance leaps off the master tape, and sticks in your head - whether you want it to, or not.
let me start out by saying ..thank you to all who listened, commented and were touched by this angel's voice, my sister, Francine who's spirit is alive! God takes in His time and I have made peace with that in my life..thankfully.
Watching the film right now, Toni. Bless you and your family.
Absolutely beautiful Toni, thank you for sharing.
We got the Jersey Boys movie yesterday and watched it last night. I laughed, I cried and I sang along with the songs. Brought back so many great memories of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons music. I will remember it forever. May God Bless you Antonia and your family.
Wish she would have had her chance to shine. As the Jersey Boys Frankie Valli said "She has more range then me." This is a great song.
It was such a tragedy that she died at such a young age. it had to be so very difficult on Frankie.
I just watched Jersey Boys and I wanted to see if there was anything on here showing Francine. She had a beautiful voice.
ACS Shap. There's a recording of her if you look under Francine Valli, two weeks before she passed.
Me too
I just watched Jersey Boys. What an amazing voice Francine had! I lost a child in 2013 and know the pain from that never ever goes away. Frankie and his family are in my prayers.
Strong voice like her father's
Her passing was sad
So sad she was a gorgeous young soul who was blessed like her dad with a beautiful voice. I am two years older than what she would be today. May she rest in Peace.
too bad we never got a chance 2 hear more from this talented artist, it is our loss. rip
It just dawned on me that a year from now, this recording will be 40 years old!! I am shaking my head in disbelief - how does time pass this fast? I still remember that night, I met some members of the band, but I did not meet Francine. How I wish that I had! Once again - how I wish that I had.
Omg; Saw Jersey boys, loved it since I came from that era and just had to hear Francine sing, and Wow, this blew me away; her voice is so powerful and soul full, it's just a pity that we have lost so many talented young artists and this is surely one, what a bright musical future she had, not even close to her peak, very sad, wish we had more of her songs to listen to.
Saw jersey boys today and it broke my heart what happened to them and her 😭😭😪😪😪💔
Wow!!! Her voice is WOW. Saw Jersey Boys on Netflix...she had it. Rest in peace Francine.
Haunting, raw, soulful, beautiful, a talent lost through tragedy.
I don't just hear her singing, I feel it deep down in my soul. What a gifted artist. Just think, if she was this incredibly talented just starting out, how amazing she would have become.
Just watched Jersey Boys and decided to google Francine... How spectacular! Oh my... Bless her little heart!
I believe Francine would have made it pretty far in music.
R. I. P Francine.
I think so too better voice of many singer at that time and today!
Still listening in 2023 ❤
One of my favorite Angela Bofill songs and Francine sings this beautifully. What a great voice she had.
OMG! I got the chills..What a beautiful voice. I cried my eyes out in the play and the movie. All I can say is RIP little Angel!
Check out her neice, my daughter
Olivia Valli! Middle name Francine…
@@antoniavalli6397 OMG She is beautiful & A Fantastic singer!! WOW. She sounds a lot like Francine! Thank You Antonia
For turning me on to her! All My Respect To You & Your Family!
wow, absolutely beautiful, my heart is pounding, Francine was taken far too young and we have all missed out on a beautiful and very talented singer. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Frankie's family.....
Everytime I watch the movie it draws me back to this video/song. ❤
Wow, I had no idea that Francine was a singer, and an excellent one. It is a crime that she was taken only two weeks after this was recorded. She was very talented.
Francine had such a beautiful voice, I love this song.
Beautiful voice and beautiful young lady. From another Jersey boy, Rest in Peace Francine. I met your dad and Bob Guadio at the Music Circus in Cherry Hill New Jersey as a young kid by sneaking under the tent and making my way to them during rehearsal. They were very nice to me and all signed a photo which I still have to this day at 68. My big question to your dad was, " are you going to sing Sherry?" Daaaaa.
Sweet voice, so sad. I love Frankie Valli. I was in the third grade when they started out, picked up on them in the seventh grade. Had no idea Mr Valli lost his daughters.
God bless him. He is a very strong man. Just watched Jersey Boys.
indeed..she does...thank you. .God bless you for the kind words~♡
+Antonia Valli There are no words even after all these yrs. What a beautiful voice. What a great voice to be taken to soon. God Bless you & your family always. Maybe one day we'll all be together and we can hear that beautiful voice once again! So glad I got to see the play & the movie.
As a Christ believer… we will be together again and also her spirit lives everyday thru me and her beautiful neice and newphew
Thank you
It makes me cry when I hear Francine sing “I Try”.😢...so beautiful and sad at the same time...that voice.💕
Beautifully sung.... this is one of my favorite songs! She had a beautiful voice!!
I previously commented on this..three years ago. But I feel that I would like to expand upon that.
I first came to this through the "Jersey Boys " movie.
I had recently suffered the loss of my father and one evening I watched the movie.
After viewing it multiple times I really began to see a common theme or thread running through the story and that went a hell of a long way towards easing me through the difficult times after my dad passed away.
What that was for me was...that no matter what each of the characters were going through...regardless of how much trouble any of them had, they had each other's back.
And it was this that was of great help for me as I worked my way through the pain of losing not only my dad but also my cousin ( his niece) and my aunt ( his sister) all in the following year.
I almost obsessively listened to Frankie Valli cds....something in his voice just reached right in and touched my heart.
And then, because she is a part of the story, I decided to see if there was anything about Francine.
I wasn't sure that there would be much information available but was quiet pleasantly surprised to find these recordings of her singing....
Oh, good Lord what a talent she had.
She could have gone on to amazing success...
I am so sorry that she no longer walks on this plane of existence but I know she lives forever in the heart of her family....
And we are blessed to be able to hear that voice singing so beautifully in these recordings.
Every time that I have spoken to anyone regarding Frankie or "Jersey Boys " I make it a point to mention Francine and I always pull up this song for them to listen to.
I frequently listen to these performances and anyone who is nearby and hears what I am listening to wants to know who this is.
I honestly don't know if Toni still goes through comments here but I just want to say that I am not just speaking as a fan...but as someone who has experienced her own pain and darkness in life and thanks to your father....has come through it....and will forever be grateful to him for that.
I grew up listening to The Four Seasons songs which I still treasure on my 45's and albums!! I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved sister and your Dad & Mom's beloved daughter. God bless your family.
im in tear's what a Great voice, Powerful,Passionate and Soulful!!!!!!!Gone way to soon........Thank you Antonia Valli for sharing Francine's Amazing Voice.....Believe me i love your Farther's voice too and his rare songs from the 60's....Girl i never new was my favorite and of course Fallen Angel.....Antonia please post more love domenic and God Bless both of your Sisters in Heaven.....
Absolutely beautiful, ever talented as Frankie, and with a completely unique sound, her legacy will live on ✊🏽💕
What an amazing voice .❤
This just broke me down, crying and all. What a beautiful voice, what an Angel!! She was and is a star that no ONE will ever forget!! God bless you Francine...❤❤
What a beautiful voice .. sad she left this world too soon ../
I'm crying, she was so talented..
Very Beautiful-sounds like its a live take awesome!!! what talent !!!! how can you match this anyone at that time or even today.....God Bless her soul and her Family
Incredible voice and also how she used it -- amazing. Talent, skill, and emotional power. So sad we didn't get to hear more before she passed. My heart goes out to her family.
WOW! What a voice!
So beautifully sad. She was destined to go places with that voice. I can feel her pain.😓
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. LOVE LOVE THIS SONG
so soulfull and heartfelt, with good orchestration , a tragic loss for music and her family.
So clear, so calming, so beautiful...
That jazz voice its amazing.
Very very nice. She has a lovely voice and she's probably singing her heart out in heaven. RIP dear Francine, I'm your biggest fan !!
Good enough to be a hit in year 2015
Ahead of her time
I have the greatest hits on 78 records, i grew up listening to The 4 seasons. I seen the Jersey boys play and movie. What a bright star in heaven this young lady is. God bless your family now and always.
The more i listen to this live performance of Francine, i can really see how much she had inherited from her Dad, Frankie. Theres a big similarity in the voice and the style between them both. I wish that she could have lived and not have been taken at such a young age. She had so much talent and very pretty as well. I know many years have gone by, but i would like to say that i am so very sorry to Frankie and his family for this terrible loss. RIP Francine. 🙏💖
Wouldn't it have been something to have her and her dad sing together now and then! What a beautiful voice! As AcappelllaNuevo said below, she has a rich soulful voice, like Angela Bofill !
Just saw jersey boy the movie....started doing more research on Frankie Valli....being a a father to my 6 yr old was so moved when she asked him to sing a song to her and he sang "my eyes adored you" only to lose her at the end of the movie killed me....I couldn't, and wouldn't ever want to know that pain, she had a very soulful voice. I'm not one to break down songs, but it's almost like she sang this song to him
Yeah, you can hear her dad's voice in there, plus so much depth and range of her own. Terrible tragedy that the world lost such an amazing talent.
What a voice...there is pain, love, experience, and depth behind it. She has left a void only the music can fill. Maybe someday we'll be lucky enough to hear it again.
RIP Francine,angel voice!!
Awesome voice.....what a tragic loss
(tears in my eyes)
Just saw the Jersey Boys movie last night for the first time. Why'd it take me so long? I don't know.
What a truly amazing story, in every way. I was taken by the parts about Francine. Even mentioning Victoria's in Plainfield, where I recorded them. Wow. This is gonna stick in my head for a while now.
Once more...Wow.
Like her Dad, she imparts sincerity into the lyrics.
I saw the show many times. Since the first time, I cried so much.
The love between father and daughter is unconditional. So, I can imagine how Frankie suffered when Francine died.
He life is a brilliant success as a show and movie.
Congratulations to Clint Eastwood and John Lloyd Young. Love both.
Beautiful voice. Very sad and huge loss.
Such a wonderful voice. So very sad that she couldn't stay with us. I have loved your Dad's music for many years, always the best.
so sad wasted talent , and a voice like heaven!!!
Only the good die young. She would have been a legend like her father. Her voice was incredible, it’s so beautiful. I just finished watching jersey boys. Couldn’t stop crying 😢. Lots of love to Frankie and his family such a tragic loss.
What an amazing singer - she should have been a superstar...now she’s a shining star in heaven ...god bless her and what a gift...
Wowza!! Great voice like Dad!! And so young. God Bless you
Yes I agree, Her voice was beautiful. She had that power inside the voice. This song gets me evertime I listen to it. She had it, that magic you have when your a singer. God Bless You Francine, and Toni.. In my heart I do believe that she did try.. Just a fan, discophyllis..
She has a lovely voice. I too lost my sister, I feel your pain. It's something you never get over
Thank you for sharing this lovely voice with the world. You will be together again one day, till then hold on to the Good memories!
What a great singer she was, I'm so very sorry for your loss Frankie & family, parents should never have to outlive their children, too sad !!!!!!!!!

Don't know if you will even read this Toni, but I have listened to Olivia sing, and I hear so much of Francine in her. Hope that brings you closer to your sister, since I am positive you are so very proud of your daughter. Wish I could find when she is actually playing the lead in Wicked, cause I would love to see her perform. I am a true Valli fan (all generations).
used to see her sing in morristown,NJ, the group was Meridian, she made our night.
Sang like an angel...... now she's singing with the angels....
Francine had a lovely voice and her own style. I feel so sad about her passing. I never knew anything about any of Frankies family until very recently. RIP, Francine.❤🙏

Saw Jersey Boys today . Had to find her . Wow she lived up to her posthumous plug. Think Sade and Smooth Operator . She definitely had a future and her own sound .
Hi, Toni, I think you will remember me, I worked with you at Govel RE Agency in Belleville. My name is Deborah Cristino or it was. It is now Deb Jannarone (my maiden name). Anyhow, how are you and the family? I see your dad on & off. (I live in Las Vegas for the last 23 yr.) not so much since my parents passed away. I actually saw Tommy & his wife much more. Right after I left Govel (many, many, moons ago, I was told you had 2 boys. I hope and wish you're doing great. I was listening to Francine's song, what a beautiful voice, and a beautiful song. Of course, I saw Jersey Boys. it was Fantastic and the memories came flying back. (The Steven Crane Villiage and Silver Lake, too).
I wish you all the love, happiness and good health in the world. It made me feel good to reminise. XXOO Deb Jannarone.
She had a beautiful voice. RIP. Frankie's Angel.
Wow! She really had a beautiful voice.
Strong solid voice.... wow...glad i stumbled upon this.
