Sherry & 11 Other Hits: Original Classics Collection Vol. 1 (CD)

In the 1960s, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons churned out hit after hit to become one of the most successful vocal groups in pop history. Their signature was Valli's stratospheric falsetto, but their success also resulted from sharp, melodic songwriting. During their prime, singles like "Sherry" and "Walk Like a Man" emphasized close-harmony singing with an urban swagger, providing the missing link between doo wop and Motown-era pop. The group topped the charts again in the '70s with an updated, disco-influenced sound. There was a resurgence of interest in the Four Seasons in the early 2000s thanks to the hugely successful Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS about the history of the beloved group.

The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi.

The Seasons' 1962 debut album is typical of its (pre-Beatle) time, in that it's based around a hit or two, with the rest being more or less filler - either contemporary pop songs like "Never on Sunday" or pre-rock standards like "Yessir That's My Baby" (here done in slowed down, hilariously ripe doo-wop style). The group's singing, however, is glorious throughout, and the album's two hit singles--"Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry"--are innovative reworkings of the East Coast harmony vocal style as well as clear signposts toward the pure-pop ear candy the Seasons and their genius producer Bob Crewe would pursue down the road.
