Frankie Valli Born: The Falsetto Behind Four Seasons
He sang falsetto for a decade before anyone thought it was a valid musical choice. Frankie Valli was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1934 and formed the Four Seasons in the early 1960s. They had three number-one singles in their first year. Big Girls Don't Cry, Sherry, Walk Like a Man. Their story became a Broadway musical called Jersey Boys that ran for 11 years. Valli continued performing into his 80s. His falsetto was still intact. Nobody else sounds like that.
