  • The Rise and Fall of the NEW Four Seasons 1966 to 1977—Chapter 1:Bob Gaudio Takes Control
    The Rise and Fall of The NEW Four Seasons 1966 to 1977—Chapter 1:Bob Gaudio Takes Control “It was 1966. The radio as always, was on and a new rock hit version of “I´ve Got You Under My Skin” was playing. This was the first time I took notice of “The Four Sea- sons”. I lived in Bristol, Rhode Island , a million miles away from anything like what I was hearing that day, yet I thought to myself: “One day I would love to be a member of that group!”.......................” The words of John Paiva from his unpublished biography capture a moment when the change in the Four Seasons and their ultimate destiny would be set. John did eventually become a Four Season and was part of the line-up that would give the group their big- gest ever world-wide hit almost 10 years later. Back in 1966 although ‘Skin’ had a big impact as a hit (#9 on Billboard and Cashbox) it was a milestone track in many ways. In fact the song can be seen as a big test of Bob Gaudio’s musical genius…and by mid 1966 it was desperately needed. The group’s tra- ditional sound was in danger of losing it’s place in the record buying public’s hearts as competing styles and sounds took over. How could the falsetto sound of the past 4 years survive? Looking back we need to trace the previous 2 years to see how quickly things were changing. Firstly 1965 had been a real ‘watershed’ for the group in so many ways.

  • 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.
