Fun fact: No recording artist -- soloist, duo, or group -- charted more songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1960s than The Four Seasons (or Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons). Not the Beatles, not any of the Motown groups, not the Beach Boys, not the Rolling Stones. The Four Seasons topped them all in number of singles on the Hot 100 in the '60s.
This was the song my husband and I chose for our first dance as husband and wife at our wedding reception. It was great - all the wedding guest were singing the chorus as we danced. Love this song!
5:13 This is why I always say to listen to the studio versions first of music from the 60s and 70s! Not because the live versions aren't good, because they are, it's just that audio quality isn't always that great and some artists like to change the song to the point where it can sound like a different song....And I totally get why they do that because I can only imagine playing the same song over and over the exact same way can get a little stale sometimes, but the studio versions are how it's meant to be heard... If that makes any sense!
I've seen him twice in concert, I love when he sings this song and the crowd shouts out I LOVE YOU BABY , and he expects it ! Frankie is a treasure . Please react to My Eyes Adored You
One of my most favorite memories of my mom, was her dancing around the living room when this song came on. I cannot hear this song without thinking of mom.❤
I read that Frankie Valli really wanted to sing this song because he didn't need to use his usual high falsetto voice, it was one of his first songs sung in his normal range. He didn't want to be stuck forever as "the singer with the high pitch voice". So the smash success of this song really helped his solo career.
When I was pregnant with my daughter in 1990, I sang this song to her constantly. I was 37 so it had been on my playlist already for many yrs. She is 34 now, I’m 71, and we sing this song to each other ALL the time. One of my favourite memories and favourite songs. Love and Peace from 🇨🇦
I almost skipped this reaction, but thanks for brining this song back into my life, it's great, and been in many movies while I was growin' up. Great reaction!! 40!
I saw Frankie Valli last year at the Texas Theater, he is getting a little old, but man he can still hit those high notes. He had some backup singers as well to round out the sound and a great live band, it was a good show definately not what I usually see, more like wht my parents listened to, It was a one or a kind show! Thanks BP
Yeah your reactions between the two versions is like watching night and day. Yes we can see you enjoyed the live performance but you completely and totally got into the studio version. 😊👏👏👏👍
Frankie, solo or with the Four Seasons, is a great rabbit hole to travel 🐇🕳️ The music of my childhood and youth! Classic early Rock/Easy Listening genre. Frankie's voice is iconic and has traversed time to be one of the easiest to recognize. Awesome reaction to one of the classic vocal gems to come out of my home town ❤
When I was in high school in 1970 the 4 seasons came to my school. There sound man anger was just starting out and Roy Clair was the Industrial Arts teacher. They came unannounced to surprise him. To say the least we were thrilled. It also speaks volumes on there character.
Omg !!!!! This is the song my husband used to sing to me …… Beautiful song, my husband loved FRANKIE VALLi AND THE 4 seasons. My husband is gone now, but have great memories !!!!!!
This was my wife and my first dance song at our wedding. All time classic, all time classy, can't go wrong with it. My personal favorite rendition is the Englebert Humperdinck cover
Oh I love me some Franki Valli. Thank you for reacting to this one , it's such a beautiful song and it's timeless . Deep rabbit hole, hope you will check out more of Franki Valli and the 4 seasons, and Franki after he went solo
Yes, real brass: baritones, trombones, trumpets, etc - you can't synthesize this song's sound. Frankie delivers......great memories of the scene from The Deer Hunter movie when the cast sings this song.
As a child of the 60s, my two favorite groups were Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and The Beach Boys. Still are. So many other loves, too. But Frankie Valli is my Jersey Boy. Grew up singing along to his falsetto. Favorite Four Seasons song is “Let’s Hang On”. Give it a listen.
🌸 I grew up in Vegas and I remember so fondly hearing this song as my dad and I are my grandma and I would walk through the casinos to the restaurant for breakfast or whatever
Lauren Hill covered this song in 1998 as a solo artist after she separate from the Fugees. I really liked her cover of this song and it was a hit. I think it was the most popular cover of the song. I knew it was a cover because I remembered the original from Frankie Vallie when I was a little kid. It's also been in many movies even Heath Ledger (RIP)sang in the movie "10 Thing I Hate About You".
Yay!! Double bonus of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". I prefer the studio version because of its rich sound. I definitely appreciate the live version of Frankie singing this. God! I love Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons!! 💙🎶🎶💙
Back to an earlier reaction before I hope you dance we listened to joan baez forever young. I can remember holding my first daughter as a new born listening with tears running down my face knowing the world would never be the same
This song is in a classic scene in 10 things I hate about you which made it alive again I think I just listened to it again and agree it just gets to your body and soul and just melts you Frank santra also did a cover
Ya, the scene where they are all in the pool hall shooting 8-ball…this song comes on the juke-box and they all break out singing. Awesome scene..loved that movie!
Fantastic recording! It has one of those crazy 60's style mixes where they pan the rhythm section to the right and put the strings/horns on the left. But they really made it work. A modern mix would put the rhythm section (Bass and Drums) in the center behind the vocal, and probably pan the strings to one side and the horns to the other.
Bob Gaudio , keyboardist for the Four Seasons, wrote this and most of their hits . He was in The Royal Teens before this and was responsible for their great hit Short Shorts. The young lady from the Short Shorts video leaxes comments about her dancing
I was 3 when this song came out. But first thing I thought of is this song was in Deer Hunter. Then I’m like no it was another old song. But it was this. Great movie if you get a chance to watch it
One of my favorites by Frankie is “My Eyes Adored You”
Baby boomer here. We had some awesome music didn't we! Always will be timeless!
HEAR, HEAR!! :) I'll SECOND THAT!!
"My Eyes Adored You"......Frankie singing softly. Is one of Frankie's best. All his songs are great! Glad you're enjoying him too.
Frankie Vallie and The Four Seasons! Their music is timeless and makes me feel good all over! Love, love, love all of their music!

Have you every played "Sherry?" It is one of his first, if not the first, with the Four Seasons. It really highlights Valli's falsetto. The best!!
This was the song my husband and I chose for our first dance as husband and wife at our wedding reception. It was great - all the wedding guest were singing the chorus as we danced. Love this song!

Totally agree with you.
Led Zeppelin is a prime example.
Frankie Valli was a member of the Four Seasons before he went solo. Love his voice.

@kbrewski1 this song isn't that good, Who Loves You from Frankie V is a lot better
@codypatron5968
I disagree. So does over 160 artists who covered it, and at least 12 movie directors, including the director of Deerhunter.
@kbrewski1 that doesn't mean anything they may have never even heard Who Loves You. But I guess it's just personal preference.
@kbrewski1 as far as vocal talent, these guys are some of the best ever

@codypatron5968
They blow chunks. If I want to hear shrill falsetto voices, I'll listen to the Chipmunks.
Love me some Frankie Valli
When I was pregnant with my daughter in 1990, I sang
this song to her constantly. I was 37 so it had been on
my playlist already for many yrs. She is 34 now, I’m 71,
and we sing this song to each other ALL the time. One
of my favourite memories and favourite songs. Love and

Beautiful story !!!!
Beautiful Mom and daughter 🥰😘
That warms my heart ❤
I almost skipped this reaction, but thanks for brining this song back into my life, it's great, and been in many movies while I was growin' up. Great reaction!! 40!
Much Love fam
That scene in The Deer Hunter was magnificent.
I saw Frankie Valli last year at the Texas Theater, he is getting a little old, but man he can still hit those high notes. He had some backup singers as well to round out the sound and a great live band, it was a good show definately not what I usually see, more like wht my parents listened to, It was a one or a kind show! Thanks BP
When that orchestra swings in on the last last verse has always been heavenly
To think at 1 point he only had about 35% hearing. That's amazing.
True !!
This Song played in a Wonderful Scene in the Movie “Deer Hunter”
The Amount of Incredible Acting Talent in That Scene is Incredible
That was a very heavy, but excellent film with a great cast!
Thank you for mentioning the film, this song has been a favorite of mine ever since I’ve seen the movie!
I had to look it up if it was in the Deer Hunter! And yep it was this great song. Excellent movie
@ Great Scene filled with a Wonderful Group of Actors
Frankie Valli and the four seasons One of my favorites I used to sing this song back to back back to back back to back they had some other hits too...
Yeah your reactions between the two versions is like watching night and day. Yes we can see you enjoyed the live performance but you completely and totally got into the studio version. 😊👏👏👏👍
This song was the first dance with my husband at my wedding reception ❤
my absolute favorite artist.. saw him live and damn he's still just as awesome..
Love these oldies, missed you all week ,on vacation, nice to come back to this music....
I was 9 years old when this came out and I would just wait for it to come back on the radio. Love it. Enjoy
His best song, among so many great ones, is “My Eyes Adored You”, IMHO
Frankie, solo or with the Four Seasons, is a great rabbit hole to travel 🐇🕳️
The music of my childhood and youth! Classic early Rock/Easy Listening genre. Frankie's voice is iconic and has traversed time to be one of the easiest to recognize.
Awesome reaction to one of the classic vocal gems to come out of my home town ❤
My wife and I saw him live at the Fox Theater in Detroit about maybe 6 or 7 years ago. He still had the voice. Generational talent for sure
Are you sure he was actually singing?
This is so good! Love FV and the 4 Seasons!!!!
When I was in high school in 1970 the 4 seasons came to my school. There sound man anger was just starting out and Roy Clair was the Industrial Arts teacher. They came unannounced to surprise him. To say the least we were thrilled. It also speaks volumes on there character.
OMG so many memories when I was a teenager ❤❤ loved this song 💝
Love the four seasons! They had so many hits during the 60s. Love this group! I'm 76 years old and play their greatest hits CD in my car. ❤❤❤
Met them at Michigan state fair when our dancers performed when they did. In the sixties.
This is the best version!!!
I want to disagree (a little).
I love Valli, but dancing with my daughter as we watched 10 Things I Hate About You will always be my favorite!
This isn't "a version", it's the original studio recording.
This is the original version
Wifey should react to this!!
The Brothers Gibb (BeeGees) probably popped up at the end of the song as they wrote the theme for the movie "Grease" that Frankie Valli sang.
This is for the ladies ❤ seriously what a voice.
I Still remember the words to this song still !❤❤❤
This was when music was music.
They dont make music like this anymore
Thats why I love UA-cam
I can go back to my younger Days
Omg !!!!! This is the song my husband used to sing to me ……
Beautiful song, my husband loved
FRANKIE VALLi AND THE 4 seasons.
My husband is gone now, but have great memories !!!!!!
❤ such a beloved song…! Brings goosies.
My generation ...love f. V.
Love it. Thanks.
I love this song ! Brings me back to my younger days.
This was my wife and my first dance song at our wedding. All time classic, all time classy, can't go wrong with it.
My personal favorite rendition is the Englebert Humperdinck cover
BP been watching forever love your reactions. Glad to finally be a member
I was born in the 50's, but heard it on the radio with my parents! I always have loved this sound!
Oh I love me some Franki Valli. Thank you for reacting to this one , it's such a beautiful song and it's timeless . Deep rabbit hole, hope you will check out more of Franki Valli and the 4 seasons, and Franki after he went solo
Love this song! It also plays a big part in the movie The Deer Hunter!
Thanks for yet another "walk down memory lane"....good stuff right here 💗💞💗
The great ones always please your ears and drive deep into your soul.
Fallen Angel is one I my favourites by Frankie Valli
As a teenager my brother played the Four Seasons a lot.
Walk like a man is a song you'll totally relate too, highly recommended!!
Beautiful song. ❤️✌🏻🎶
Love this song.
🌸 you just made my whole week..... thank you 🤍
So many memories! I am almost 70 years old and still love this so very much! You should put Wifey in front of this! Love your reaction!
Heath ledger sang part of it in the movie 10 things I hate about you.😊
It's a great scene. Heath Ledger sings it to Julia Stiles and brings in the marching band.
@debramirez2110 I couldn't think of her name...yes good scene.
Yes, real brass: baritones, trombones, trumpets, etc - you can't synthesize this song's sound. Frankie delivers......great memories of the scene from The Deer Hunter movie when the cast sings this song.
I'm a baby boomer from the '60s and '70s and we had the best music....
As a child of the 60s, my two favorite groups were Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and The Beach Boys. Still are. So many other loves, too. But Frankie Valli is my Jersey Boy. Grew up singing along to his falsetto. Favorite Four Seasons song is “Let’s Hang On”. Give it a listen.
Seen Frankie in the broadway theatre about 12 or 13 years ago ! He was amazing !
🌸 I grew up in Vegas and I remember so fondly hearing this song as my dad and I are my grandma and I would walk through the casinos to the restaurant for breakfast or whatever
This is a massive song for the Wales national football team fans, it's an anthem for us 👍🏼
Exactly!
Lauren Hill covered this song in 1998 as a solo artist after she separate from the Fugees. I really liked her cover of this song and it was a hit. I think it was the most popular cover of the song. I knew it was a cover because I remembered the original from Frankie Vallie when I was a little kid. It's also been in many movies even Heath Ledger (RIP)sang in the movie "10 Thing I Hate About You".
That scene where Heath sings this is so sweet and so fun, RIP Heath 😢
Saw them in the last 4 years.... still sound great.... we sang along with every song, but didn't sound as well.
After seeing Jersey Boys -this was sung for his daughter.
That was "My Eyes Adored You"...
it was partly covered by Pet Shops Boys in "Where the streets have no name".
He still performs!!!
Well, sorta ...😀
Love this song!
Love Frankie ❤
Yay!! Double bonus of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". I prefer the studio version because of its rich sound. I definitely appreciate the live version of Frankie singing this. God! I love Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons!! 💙🎶🎶💙
All those covers and Frankie was the first. It’s a great song.
takes me back,..... great song and reaction.... thank you.........
My mom & dad in the 60's use to play all their songs and thats how i got into them. I was in the single diget age. They are so good
Played all their songs on cassette player...ribbon kept unwinding....❤ these songs!!!
Love, love, love this song!!!!
Part of the soundtrack to my childhood in the '60s!
Frankie Valli version was recorded and released in 1967. His was the first version released.
Great song from the 60s
And this is one reason oldies are chilled out so much.
This is my favorite song of his.
Frankie recorded this song in 1967! He was the first to sing it.
I’ve heard a few version
Back to an earlier reaction before I hope you dance we listened to joan baez forever young. I can remember holding my first daughter as a new born listening with tears running down my face knowing the world would never be the same
This song is in a classic scene in 10 things I hate about you which made it alive again I think I just listened to it again and agree it just gets to your body and soul and just melts you Frank santra also did a cover
The Deer Hunter....
Yep! Every time I hear this song I still see that Deer Hunter scene!
Fabulous movie, I remember this song was played in the movie
Ya, the scene where they are all in the pool hall shooting
8-ball…this song comes on the juke-box and they all break
out singing. Awesome scene..loved that movie!
this was my favorite song in 1968 with my then boyfriend, very hearfelt
Fantastic recording! It has one of those crazy 60's style mixes where they pan the rhythm section to the right and put the strings/horns on the left. But they really made it work.

Bob Gaudio , keyboardist for the Four Seasons, wrote this and most of their hits . He was in The Royal Teens before this and was responsible for their great hit Short Shorts. The young lady from the Short Shorts video leaxes comments about her dancing
Al Kooper was also in Royal Teens and Short Shorts. Please do Blood Sweat and Tears 1st lp only w Al!!!
Got to see him and the crew in the late 90s in the Poconos ❤
If you ever get a chance to see the musical THE JERSEY BOYS go see it. It is the story of this band and the music is great!
My mom loved this song so it always reminds me of her ❤
I grew up in that era!♥️!
BEAUTIFUL
this song was also on 10 Things I Hate About You!! Great song and really good movie
I was 3 when this song came out. But first thing I thought of is this song was in Deer Hunter. Then I’m like no it was another old song. But it was this. Great movie if you get a chance to watch it
“My Eyes Adored you” is a great song
There's a tribute band that toures all over the country named The Jersey Boys that is a must see. 6 riggs of equipment to bring back memories
I believe this was first released as the group The Four Season. It was later in the 70s that Frankie took top billing ...
