I've had the honor of playing trumpet with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the early 70s. Frankie is one of the greatest pop rock singers of my generation. He still gives me inspiration every time I hear him. perform. Additionally the four seasons were all very fine musicians & entertainers. "Great Job Frankie, God Bless You," John Stefan
There's no way he's lip syncing. Look at his neck, throat and adams apple. Every muscle is straining. That is 100% Authentic. That man is a MF***ing legend.
Wow! What an experience to have been onstage with them in their prime! I noticed you also played with a bunch of other legends - I'm sure you've got stories. I'm curious how the Four Seasons' harmonies were when they performed live. I have some high-level experience in that area and know how tricky it is to blend onstage, especially when playing instruments. Hope life continues to be happy & healthy for you!
Frankie Valli is up with my all time favourites. Can’t get enough of his music! What a unique and soulful tone, However can’t help to say it’s slowly tearing me apart seeing him now..
89 and sounds great. And what a thing for him to hear the audience singing the chorus. The key change was flawless and no sound of hoarseness or bowing of the vocal cords. Terrific!
This man is 90 years old and still performing, sure he had to take a break and let the bandmates and audience sing the chorus second time, but for him to travel and perform at his age is absolutely remarkable!
God has really blessed this legendary performer. If I could have lived anyone elses life, this man would be one of the top contenders! Still going strong at 90!
What a beautiful spirit your legacy is simply amazing living each day to its fullest we love you please come yo prince edward county picton ontario canada a beautiful island that awaits you
Been a fan since the late 60s. But the TRUTH IS. lets be honest....he looks awful, and sounds pretty bad. He doesn't smile, or even blink his eyes....obviously he needs the money. Think there's plenty of Xanax on board.
Thank you, this particular video of Frankie Valli is more in sync than another one that I had seen that took place in Las Vegas in 2023. It was ridiculous how same it was and everybody thought he was lip-synching. In this one, I believe it was professionally done And you can see his Adam's apple move up and down.
I had the Honor of making a portable Circuit Breaker box (floating) and multi gang outlet for his charity event concert in Adelphi Academy on 86th st Bay Ridge Brooklyn and was made to plug into a 50 amp 220 volt plug, (I'm sure Adelphi probably still uses the floating panel today And look at Mr. Frankie today -- Still Going Strong!!!!
Friend of mine saw FV yesterday at Mohegan Sun. Said he surely lip synched and at times just stood there and gazed out at the crowd. He’s 90 - maybe it’s time time to retire.
I just watched him on November 12, 2023 in San Jose. The best concert I’ve ever been it was the greatest and I wish them the best. I don’t know if he’s gonna last much longer but I was privileged to be able to see him in concert
Where are these comments coming from? Yes, the man had a great career with songs that stand the test time, but look at this video. He seems practically catatonic, and if you think he is really singing, I have a bridge in London to sell you.
Songs like this guy sings is proper music which you can understand clearly and all other artists of those days as well, today's music rubbish, all fake bring back the oldies, you still out beat today's music, hats of to you all
I have been a Frankie Valli fan since the 60's. If he does a show in my area, I will go to it. But he is lip syncing. Singing demands breathing, neck and facial muscles, and an open mouth. He show none of those -- without which he could not produce the sound we hear. A couple of years ago he did his last studio album -- A Touch of Jazz -- which would have been auto tuned and in a very controlled environment -- and none of the songs sound anywhere near this good. They were all very slow renditions with no vocal gymnastics at all. In this video you can see bits where his lip sync is slightly off -- but he has mastered the art after a couple of decades. I give him props for doing a couple of hours at his age.
God bless this man, 90 years old and still on stage preforming at such a high level. My Mom was the same age but just passed I February, miss her so much. He is truly amazing!
Saw this guy in Vegas, and he was lip synching. When an audience member called it out, he ripped ass into the mic. Put his hand down the back of his pants, farted again, smelled his fingers….and yelled, “Hey you paid for this”. Then sharted, staining his polyester pants. Epic night.
First I want to say that I think Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote _Can't Take My eyes off You,_ one of the most beautiful songs ever written... I see there's some debate below about whether Frankie is lip syncing or not. Well, it's obvious that he is. Even if you ignore the fact that his mouth doesn't match up, the voice doesn't match up either, it's just young and perfect and doesn't even sound like it's in the same room as the instrumentation. Anyway, most of me wants to cut Frankie Valli some slack here, as he is, God bless him, almost, what...130 years old? But the picky singing enthusiast in me wanted to hear him really sing it live. So I looked for clips back several years ago. 2014? Lip syncing. Surely not in 1982? Lip syncing. Finally as a guest on a TV show called _Lulu_ (never heard of it) in 1975, he's singing live, and sounded just fine. I wonder why he started syncing? Laziness? I have no idea. It disappoints me because I saw Sinatra three times, and at 78 he just let his smoke and booze gravelled voice hang out there for all the world to hear. I admired him for it and thought that it sounded great -- you could hear all the whiskey and cigarettes, triumphs and tragedies, oscars, heartbreak... it was "the voice of life." When his memory started slipping, he unapologetically read the lyrics on a teleprompter, and there was nothing wrong with that....What finally prompted him to retire was that his eyesight started failing him and he could no longer see the teleprompter.
Frankie Valli had a medical condition in the 1970s that caused him to lose much of his hearing. You can actually see him in a video holding a device in his hand to help him to hear. I think it was because of his hearing challenges that he handed much of the lead singing in the Four Seasons to Gerry Polci ( who sang all the lead vocals in Silver Star for example). Frankie had an operation that restored some of his hearing, but it could be because of his 1970s hearing issues that he found it difficult to sing live after this. A few singers have been able to sing live even at 80 and sound reasonable, e.g. Leonard Cohen, John Cale, Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples. Paul McCartney's voice is quite aged now, but I think many years of smoking (he's now quit) have played a part in this!
@@johnwoods2736 Well, that would be a valid reason, thank you. It's restored my faith. Frankie Valli has always been a favorite. By osmosis and enthusiasm over the years I think I developed a pretty good ear for singers and love all performers with great voices who can _really_ sing. _Frankie Valli, Frankie Sinatra, and of course I've never heard a better set of pipes than Elvis. Also Roy Orbison, Jay Black, Diane Schuur, Tom Jones, kd lang, Linda Rhonstadt, Ray Charles... I could go on_ .... Lol
he 100% is lip-synching. He’s been doing that for 15 years. And whoever says that’s the industry standard, no it’s not. People who usually dance on stage lip sync but that’s a dying practice. He looks like a zombie. If you can’t do it just stay home.
Why would he need to lip synch #1. ??? #2. Can hear he is straining. #3. That man has. Too much pride and dignity take his. Art. And. Ever lip sinc. He is 89 years of age. H please have some empathy for this. Longest performing Legend people.

He’s a living legend! Still enjoying to perform at age 89! 👍😁
Absolutely amazing 🥹

"Performing".
Not sure about the living part. 😮
I don’t think so 😃he sang his Silence Is Golden 2021and he is doing great more than you could possibly imagine 😊👍Thank you

Hes actually lip singing. He's not really singing
@@bradbarthold1278I don’t think he is lip syncing, but there is tons of autotune on his vocal. But hey, at 89 he’s allowed a little help, right?
This actually fools people…?
@@ebkesq72He’s 1000000% lip syncing.
@@fshoaps He’s talking and using the mic, though.
God Bless you Frankie..
OMG he looks and still sings so good for 90...
Un verdadero "Ito" de los 60... Impresionante, Inmensurable a los 90 años recién cumplidos el 3 de mayo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a life he’s had!!! I’m glad we were given the gift of this wonderful man!!
I'm sure his life has gone exactly the way he's wanted it to. If I could have chosen anyone else's life to live, it might just have been HIS.
What an absolute legend ❤ music from this era will live forever 🎉
I still remember the first time I heard the four seasons it was 1975 i was 13 years old I've been a fan ever since.
AMAZING! He sound just like he did when I was a kid...What a voice. Hope he stays healthy and lives long...He sounds great!

O Frankie, at 89 you sound like this in a live concert, You're just too good to be true
Singing to a backing track

@@acelarson1872And that’s being nice. I think the guy completely lip syncs.
@@fshoaps 100% he sings not a single note, ripping off fans.
1st of all I hope to live till his age let alone still working. Wow
My god, what a priceless instrument his singing voice is!😮
edit: was. Turns out it was too good to be true, because he’s lip syncing.

What a fu@#ing legend!
One of my favorite sopranos stars Rusty
goes to bed at 9:30 m - everything is real here there is no lip synch!
Yes you're right real voice real singing, no lip sync ❤
Why were Milli Vanilli canceled?
He never blinks????

He sounds way to good to be live for a man of he's age.
He has been lip synching live or many years.
I wonder how many times he's performed that song?
Vamos Frankie aun puedes cantar la mejor parte de la cancion
Where are these comments coming from? Yes, the man had a great career with songs that stand the test time, but look at this video. He seems practically catatonic, and if you think he is really singing, I have a bridge in London to sell you.

Leave Frankie alone man is his 80 I grew up with Frankie valli
The man never blinks.
Is he an animatronic?
I think this guy use to be in the animatronic band at Chuck E Cheese.
If he can sing still at 89, then there is hope for a mere mortal like me....
Lip-syncing.....
Because I always pay top dollar to hear the audience scream the words to a favorite song.
I'd give my right arm to be there
I don’t think I’ve seen him blink in a while. Kind of weird.
God bless this man, 90 years old and still on stage preforming at such a high level. My Mom was the same age but just passed I February, miss her so much. He is truly amazing!
Wow, love this song but geez, he looks like death warmed over. God bless him!
Super,super Frankie!!!!Bravo-ooooo!!!!❤❤❤❤
Well if you were 89 you would do the same thing I don't care if is he is Legend in my book
He still sounds good!
Hes not singing- its lip synching.
Fantastic guy, well done, be at peace for the twilight years!
Blink!!
This was mine and my husband's song. I think of him when I hear this. It makes me tear up as he is no longer with me.
The emotion is the same...❤

I can't believe he's approaching 90 years old and sings this good! he's doing better than paul mccartney
It’s like watching the giant rat sing at Chuck E Cheese…
BERNIE!!!!!
Why does he never blink. Kind of creeped out.
I get the lyp-synching… but what’s up with no blinking? Can he literally not take his eyes off of you?
Any idea why he asks if it's the right song, every time he performs this?
90 year old body with a 25 year old voice
I'm quite positive he's lip syncing...
Everyone today pretty much lip syncs so i couldnt care less but, he just does it a lot more obviously to say the least
I'm glad someone else noticed!!
All these saps paying all kinds of money to watch this geezer walk around in circles like Joe Biden while lip syncing.
Don’t think so doesn’t sound like he’s in the original key

This doesn't look or sound like lip synching to me
What happened to his face
He can't take his eyes off of you
He's either lip syncing.... Or using live auto tune.... Based on the sound the vocals, the auto tune is working overtime.
why isn't he blinking???? this is not normal
😅I’m not being mean but did he have a stroke? His face and body barely move
What the???? Ladies and gentleman… he’s not singing!! Are you serious right now?!? Thats sick!!
