RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS & THE FOUR SEASONS

FRIDAY, JUNE 25

Richmond, BC – Best known as the front man for the Four Seasons, Frankie Valli scored a total of twenty-nine Top 40 hits with the group and nine Top 40 hits as a solo artist. It was in the summer of 1962 when Valli and the band released the song, “Sherry” which was penned by , in just fifteen minutes. The song moved slowly until the group performed on American Bandstand … the very next day, it sold 200,000 copies catapulting Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons into superstardom. With “Sherry,” they had crystallized a distinctive musical style … the popular doo-wop music of the 50’s inflected with the rhythm & blues influences that would come to define much of the music of the 60’s. With Valli’s amazing falsetto as its trademark, the Four Seasons’ sound would become one of the most enduring in all of rock & roll. Over the next few years, they released numerous hits including “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl” and “Rag Doll.”

In 1966, while remaining steadfastly devoted to the Four Seasons, Valli decided to branch out with his own solo album which featured the hit, “(You’re Gonna) Hurt Yourself.” That same year, he and the Four Seasons reached the #3 spot on the pop charts with “Let’s Hang On!” The following year saw Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” rise to #2 while “I Make A Fool Of Myself” and “To Give (The Reason I Live)” both became Top 40 hits. He and the Four Seasons also had three Top 40 entries that year including the gold selling “C’mon Marianne.” Valli released several hits during the 70’s including “My Eyes Adored You,” “Swearin’ To God,” “,” “December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” and the 1978 mega-hit, “Grease.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Today, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons continue to entertain audiences throughout the world and will be performing at the River Rock Casino Resort in June.
