Frankie Valli is best known as the frontman of The Four Seasons and stood out from contemporary singers for his unique falsetto vocals. Rising to fame in the ‘60s, Frankie Valli is still going strong as a solo artist 50 years later.
With The Four Seasons, Valli had 29 hit singles that reached the Top 40 and as a solo artist he added a further nine Top 40 hits. The first hit for the band was “Sherr,” which went to No. 1 in 1962. Frankie's first solo hit, “Can't Take My Eyes Off You,” which was to become his signature song, was released in 1967. Frankie and the band continued to have hits throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 1978 Frankie was back with a big hit, performing the title track to the iconic film Grease, which became a favorite all over the world.
Throughout their career from the ‘60s to the mid-‘70s, The Four Seasons released around 20 albums, but many more compilation and collection albums were to be released over the years. A further 10 albums were released by Valli as a solo artist, the most recent of which was Romancing the 60s, released in 2007. Valli has continued to perform and tour throughout the decades, and continues to collaborate with other artists. As recently as 2010 Valli recorded a duet with Juice Newton, “The Biggest Part of Me,” which was released as a track on Newton's Duets: Friends & Memories album. Despite a very distinguished and long-standing career, Frankie Valli wasn't to make his debut on Broadway until 2012 when he performed in a week-long concert.
For a career that has spanned half a century, it’s difficult to list all the awards and acclaim Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons have won. It‘s testament to their success that in 1990 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that they entered the Vocal Group Hall of Fame a further nine years later. The popularity of some of their recordings has stood the test of time among fans and artists who have followed them down the years. Some 200 artists have made their own cover versions of “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” alone. As if being immortalized in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wasn't enough, the life and careers of Frankie and The Four Seasons became the subject of the globally successful musical Jersey Boys in 2005. The show went on to win six Tony Awards and continues to tour today, stopping at the likes of the Old National Centre and other nationally acclaimed venues.
Frankie Valli at 90 years old can still sing! He sounds great and stands for his 105 minutes onstage. We had a great time singing along when prompted and enjoying music from when we were younger. His band of 13 members is fabulous and his 4 Seasons dance and sing great. I’m so happy I went to this performance. Rock on Frankie and his troupe!
Can a 90 year old legend still deliver?? YES HE CAN!! Frankie sang what his/our generation wanted to hear...the songs that brought back memories of love, heartbreak, being carefree. He entertained us for a solid nonstop 90 minutes; the backup band and singers were top notch, high energy talent that knew when to cut loose or hold back. The audience was primarily gray-hairs, white-hairs or no-hairs, with some under-60 year olds sprinkled in, and we ALL knew the words to Frankie's hits. The only thing I would suggest is for the venue/sound crew to remember that the many of the audience wear hearing aids; my guy had to turn his down and I saw others cupping their ears to lessen the sound. I know a venue sounds totally different empty when doing sound checks, so please keep this in mind. Great Entertainer, band and backup singers..don't miss this artist!
Show was FABULOUS!! Brought so many memories with his songs. I have been a fan since I was 12 years old watching Bandstand and listening to my "transistor radio". Love his music . I whole heartly commend Frankie for his dedication to his fans. ??
We totally enjoyed the show. Everything about it was amazing.
What a terrific evening with Franki Valli and his wonderful backup singers and orchestra. The songs brought back so many good feelings and memories! Musicians were awesome, backup singers excellent. Wonderful production. Really thankful we got to see one of Franki’s last shows. First time at ASU Gammage theater and very impressed with acoustics, seats, design, comfort and parking.
I bought my tickets online and put them on my cell phone. Then I started looking into parking options and realized that I needed to buy a parking pass online as well. It was so convenient to drive into the main parking lot at the facility. show them my phone, find a parking spot that was close to the exit. Then we walked up Mill Avenue for a short dinner. Frankie Valli was slow to move, but we were there to hear his voice and his voice was spectacular. His back up group in the band offered all the backup music that they needed, and the four young men that sang with them were on spot. Could not have expected more! A totally enjoyable evening and at the end of the show, he had everyone standing on their feet
Clearly not the group I saw perform in 1966…….but the hits are still there…..so what if he doesn’t move the way he used to. It’s a fun night and I and the crowd loved singing along??
30 minutes into the show, my granddaughter and my song came on, so we got up to dance. A lady grabbed my granddaughter's arm and told her to sit down, I told her if she touched my granddaughter again, we would be going outside to 'talk'. My 17 year old granddaughter adores Frankie and this is his final tour so by God WE WILL DANCE!!
The show was great but I think Frankie Valle needs to retire. He is so frail and could hardly move. It was amazing though that he was able to stand there for ninty minutes with no break. It looked like he was lip syncing.
Frankie Valle is a legend! Great show! 90 minutes of nonstop hits! Back up singers and musicians were terrific! Gammage is a great venue!
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were fantastic! The music, the harmony, the choreography, the lights and of course THE Legend Frankie Valli made this show one to remember!
It was fantastic, it’s amazing how strong his voice still is. He put on a great performance I really enjoyed myself listening to him sing my favorite songs??
It was a fabulous show. We were very impressed that Frankie Valli still has the fabulous voice. We also loved the four young men who were on stage with him. He was very humble and was patient to shake all the hands that were near the front of the stage. We were so glad we saw this show. We can’t get the music out of heads this week.
Frankie walks out on stage and starts belting out, hit after hit, and entertains us with chitchat in between. He makes us feel so comfortable, when you leave you feel like you are personal friends. At 90 years old, I can’t blame him for not doing the choreography, But truly enjoy his back up guys and all their clever moves. The back up band is truly amazing! All the guitarists especially seem to be having so much fun. At the end, Frankie shook hands with at least 50 people, and I was lucky enough to be one of them. I bought romancing the 60s CD. Can’t wait to listen to it.
I saw Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons when I was a teenager. I’m definitely not a teenager anymore, had the best experience ever. His voice was tremendous and his show was fabulous.
He is still wonderful! The whole audience loved him! Wish I could see him again.
Frankie puts on a terrific show. Everybody was on the feet singing these oldies. I loved the show and Frankie.
I loved every minute. Frankie belted out hit after hit, it was nonstop. He sounded great and the Four Seasons were great as well. Enjoyed their voices and dance moves. What a wonderful night of music and entertainment.
I didn’t expect much going in, due to all the sad posts on social media showing Frankie forgetting lyrics and lip synching. From where I was sitting he sounded great to me, and even watching him on the big screens he looked like he was singing. He didn’t move around much but what do you expect? He’s 90! He didn’t sit down through the entire concert (his 4 Seasons did) and even injected humor into his act. There was no way I was missing the final encore of this legend. AMAZING!!
I know that his performance was hampered by his age. But it was good to see him again. My first record bought was Candy Girl when I was 9.
