  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Four Seasons by Tony Geiss Tommy Devito Dies: the Four Seasons Cofounder & ‘Jersey Boys’ Inspiration Was 92
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Four Seasons by Tony Geiss Tommy DeVito Dies: The Four Seasons Cofounder & ‘Jersey Boys’ Inspiration Was 92. Tommy DeVito, a founding member and lead guitarist of chart-topping 1960s vocal group the Four Seasons and the inspiration for a key character in the 2005 jukebox musical Jersey Boys and its 2014 movie adaptation, died Monday nioght from complications related to COVID-19 in Las Vegas. He was 92. His death was announced by his friend, the actor Alfred Nittoli, in a Facebook post Tuesday. Four Seasons frontman Frankie Valli and keyboardist-songwriter Bob Gaudio tweeted a joint statement: “It is with great sadness that we report that Tommy DeVito, a founding member of the Four Seasons, has passed. We send our love to his family during this most difficult time. He will be missed by all who loved him.” Formed from previous New Jersey doo-wop group the Four Lovers — which featured both baritone singer DeVito and, with his instantly recognizable falsetto, Valli — the Four Seasons took their new name in 1960. The founding, classic lineup included DeVito, Valli, Gaudio and producer-singer Bob Crewe. By 1962, the group topped the charts with its hit “Sherry,” written by Gaudio and featuring what would become the signature sound: Valli’s wide- ranging, falsetto-reaching vocals harmonizing with DeVito’s baritone. One of the few American doo-wop groups to stand strong against the Beatles-led British Invasion, the Four Seasons would, within the next five years, follow “Sherry” with such hits as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll,” — all four of which hit No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — “Candy Girl,” “Dawn (Go Away), “Let’s Hang On” and “Working My Way Back to You.” DeVito, a native of Belleville, NJ., left the group in 1970, publicly blaming a hearing problem for his departure.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Robert Clive Jones, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted June 11, 2019 Anchorage, Alaska Filed September 8, 2020 2 CORBELLO V. VALLI Before: A. Wallace Tashima, William A. Fletcher, and Marsha S. Berzon, Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge Berzon SUMMARY* Copyright Affirming the district court’s judgment after a jury trial in favor of defendants, the panel held that the musical Jersey Boys did not infringe plaintiff’s copyright in an autobiography of Tommy DeVito, a member of the band the Four Seasons. The musical depicted the history of the Four Seasons. The district court granted judgment as a matter of law on the basis that much of the alleged infringement concerned unprotected elements of the work, and that any infringement of protected elements was fair use. The panel affirmed on the sole ground that the musical did not infringe the autobiography, and did not reach fair use. The panel held that facts cannot form the basis for a copyright claim. On close examination, each of the alleged similarities between the musical and the autobiography were based on historical facts, common phrases, and scenes-a- faire, or elements that were treated as facts in the autobiography and were thus unprotected by copyright, even * This summary constitutes no part of the opinion of the court.

    SEGERSTROM HALL June 24, 2017 Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Frankie Valli The Center applauds: Out of courtesy to the artists and your fellow patrons, please take a moment to turn off and refrain from using cellular phones, pagers, watch alarms and similar devices. The use of any audio or videorecording device or the taking of photographs (with or without flash) is strictly prohibited. Thank you. About the Artist Frankie Valli Oh, what a story. Frankie Valli, who came to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is hotter than ever in the 21st century. Thanks to the volcanic success of the Tony®- winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Frankie and his legendary group, such classic songs as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” are all the rage all over again. With the play in its seventh blockbuster year on Broadway, and five other casts performing Jersey Boys nightly from Las Vegas to London, the real Frankie Valli is also packing venues around the world. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Seasons’ first hit “Sherry,” Frankie toured England, Australia and New Zealand in 2012, in addition to keep- ing up his busy schedule in the U.S. The current excitement prompted Frankie to salute the decade that made him a star with his first new studio album in 15 years. In Romancing The ’60s, he put his own stamp on some of his favorite ’60s songs, the ones he always wanted to record but somehow got away.
