  • The Jean Thomas Story—Part 3
    The Jean Thomas Story—Part 3 Jean Thomas worked with many top producers during the 1960s but the one who cre- ated her best known work and who perhaps brought the best out of her vocal talent was Bob Crewe. Bob Crewe had a special talent himself and was a highly respected producer Jean’s good friend Ellie Greenwich had a good relation- ship with Bob Crewe and commented on his ability and on how they first met in an interview before her untimely passing in 2009….. "I'm not exactly sure when I met Bob Crewe, but we always saw each other around the business from the very beginning. (We) had an affinity for each other (and) still do! He was a joy to work with on all levels . he's a perfectionist, he's open to any outside ideas, he really knows what he wants and gets it, and most of all, he is passionate about what he does. He puts all of himself into eve- rything he touches . I always loved and still do love Bob! I can go on and on about this talented gentleman, and he is just that: A 'gentle man'." Mick Patrick and Malcolm Baumgart captured the best of Bob Crewe’s productions on “The DynoVoice Story….the label that had to happen” Westside CD226 and say of his unique- ness …..“Bob Crewe is not a man to be easily pigeon-holed. Possessed by an overriding creative urge from his earliest years, he has painted , worked as a photographic model, sculpted, acted,run an art gallery and dabbled in interior design alongside those talents for which he is justly renowned – ie singer, songwriter, producer, label owner, music publisher and manager.” The best of his productions of course include those of Jean Tho- mas.

  • Charles Calello Is a Record Producer, Music Arranger and Composer and Is Presently One of the Most Sought After Talents in the Music Industry
    c/o Just Sunshine COVER BIOGRAPHY! Produced: 36 E. 61 St. LOU CHRISTIE NYC, N. Y. 10021 1 LAURA NYRO (212) 826-7010 CHARLIE CALELLO ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK KENNY NOLAN 1 PAUL ANKA AND OTHERS Charles Calello is a record producer, music arranger and composer and is presently one of the most sought after talents in the music industry. He was born in New Jersey, the son of a professional trumpet player, who started him in music with an accordian at the age of nine. At thirteen he was also playing string base and trumpet and by fifteen was working clubs. Later, while attending the Manhattan School of Music, Charlie met and became friendly with Frankie Valli , who, in turn, introduced him to producer Bob Crewe. At age twenty-three he had arranged his first number one record and was then involved with most of the Four Season's hits thereafter. Charlie worked extensively with the Crewe organization and arranged "A Lover's Concerto" for Toys and "Good Morning Starshine" for Oliver. He then decided to try producing and among his first efforts were "The Name Game" for Shirley Ellis, "The Mouse" for Soupy Sales and a major hit, "Lightning Strikes" for Lou Christie. His greatest personal achievement was co- production of the classic Laura Nyro album "Eli and the 13 Confessions". After a brief sabatical, Charlie recently came back to the music business in style. Within the last year he has co-produced and arranged "After The Lovin* for Engelbert Humperdinck, "I Like Dreamin"1 and "Love Grows Deep" for Kenny Nolan and arranged "Cher Chez le Femme" for Dr.

  • 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.

It is understood that some multi-track masters of theses sessions no longer exist as these where not collected by the Partnership(or Bob Crewe) from Bell Studios and where allegedly ‘dumped in a skip’ and only stereo masters are retained by the Four Seasons Partnership. As a result some masters now only exist on vinyl and are not preserved in the Partnerships archive (examples are some of the masters used on the Edizione D’Oro album PHILIPS 2-6501 - Where this is suspected or known such masters are highlighted). But what actually exists has not been confirmed by The Four Seasons Partnership. Only two un-released masters are known and listed.

  • The Rise and Fall of the NEW Four Seasons 1966 to 1977 Chapter 99————Aftermathaftermath
    The Rise and Fall of The NEW Four Seasons 1966 to 1977 Chapter 99————AftermathAftermath The end of the NEW Four Seasons left the fans dismayed at what was hap- pening. Communications were less speedy back then with no internet or cell phones and snail-mail between the UK and USA was as it is now…a week….but quarterly Newsletters kept fans informed of what was known, which was very little. Rumour and counter-rumour bounced around. John Paiva tried to keep the band together as an entity but the inability to trade on their name ( a contract limitation still in place today by lawyer Peter Bennett) and the expense of marketing them- selves (and touring) to their world wide fan base was something they didn’t feel they could do. And they needed a recording deal. Rex Woodard’s take on the period reveals the rumours and uncertainty …”The last concert of the tour had occurred at Radio City Music Hall on October 8. Warner-Curb wanted to tape the performance for an album but Private Stock, Valli’s label, refused permission. The actual final appearance took place on November 22nd 1977 at the Aladdin in Las Vegas. Fans reacted with puzzlement when the group quit singing any songs from the ‘Helicon’ album late in the tour. That hardly seemed to make sense since any future Four Seasons stage act would require new material to perform. Serious questions also arose as to who would remain in the new group. Valli announced that Lee Shapiro would split off to be Valli’s fulltime arranger.
