Never had a voice lesson. No one on his family sang. Saw Frank Sinantra & decided he wanted to do that. Seems like he always had a lot of confidence! Unique voice. Unique man.
Frankie Valli was blessed with a special voice.
A truly has one of the best voices ever
Can't get enough of Frankie Valli! I was in 6th grade the first time I heard the Four Seasons & followed them ever since! Frankie Valli is an inspiration ! One can see how he loves performing !He is loved by many & yet his humility stays intact! Bob Gaudio's writing talent in collaboration with Frankie Valli's unique style along with the harmonizing of the Seasons is phenomenal! Hope he stays strong & keeps performing so young people can get a chance to know him & also, understand what it is to be in the presence of a true legend!
Love.Frankie just saw him at 87-- so awesome still!
Franki is the Greatest Legend??? He is just a GIGANIC SUPERSTAR! Frankie will be the Greatest in all Music History!!! My Favorite Voice!!!!! Love to listen and watch him perform ! A real handsome man too!!!! Love Always!!! Lesa Elaine✝️🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻
My all time favorite group and lead singer. Attended his concerts for the last 50 years. My favorite song "Rag Doll". Just perfect!

Thank you for putting up this Documentary about Frankie Valli And the Four Seasons I appreciated it was beautiful !(1/16/‘23)🌹
I just watched The Jersey Boys live, it was brilliant, funny and applauded as the the songs were sung because we recognized them and because they were sung well. For those too young and not born in time to witness their careers unfold, the show was a treat 🎉by watching the show you know he loved the music and singing.
This year was my year I have seen him got my picture with him at 82 he is still the one for me !
James Darren I think is Italian, also, Frankie Valli had a voice that could never be matched.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons will always going to be my favorite group of all time.

That's cool! I went to see Jersey Boys in Boston, Massachusetts on August 9, 2009 with my mother and my maternal aunts at the Schubert Theater. Everyone rocked out to the songs.
I have been to three of his concerts since 2015, every one is great, the audiences are energized by his music, and I suggest that you find a way to see him in person. Concerts are wonderful!

You're welcome to come here for a visit. Come see him in Las Vegas. I saw him recently and he even signed my album afterwards which I'm very proud of and have framed it on my wall.
I'm going too finally see the Legend tonite at the Honolulu Blaisedell Concert Hall, which is just Two hours away! My all time fAv songs Sherry and Oh What night since I was a kid, certainly inspired me to become a late bloomer performer now performing for crowds nightly in Waikiki.
This is among one of the best interviews/biographies of Frankie that i have watched. I just adore him.I know it might sound crazy, but i wish i could have been with Frankie when he looked like he does in this interview. I fell in love with him from afar when we were both younger. I was an attractive singer back then . He looks pretty good for 87. Not many men do.

If you were really Frankie Valli, you would have a special specific check mark on the right side of your name. Everything i said in the comments back then was completely true. We should have met back in the 1960s or 70s or a a few decades after. Its too late now. Life can be cruel sometimes.
Driving to and from the Jersey shore as a kid....this band was part of every trip. The radio was filled with their songs....and the memories of these days at the shore will always remain.
I am 75 and he still is my all time favorite.

Fate was with the group. Bob Gaudio is a genius songwriter & Franki has such a unique voice - not at all like other falsettos.
I seen the Broadway show two years ago. It was awesome,!!! I will see it again and again, if I could. Now, my daughter plays their music, all the time. You could say these were good songs that you can understand!!will always listen to there music!
So love Frankie and the Four Seasons. Love Frankie Valli’s voice gives me chills and goosebumps.
Love this guy and his music. Legend is right!!!!!
Saw Frankie two nights ago. Wow! He’s still got it! Great show!
A voice for the ages -what a range.
A true talent. Thank you for the music. :)
He has a voice that feeds and calms the soul :)
Maravilloso vi su show en las vegas en 1983 y ahora en 2021 sigue y canta igual Díos lo bendiga
Amazing talent

Bob is happy with his life. He doesn't need a lot of recognition. Great marriage & kids. He's a producer for many of Franki's productions. He's a modest guy. What a great combo they made!
On the comment i made before that seems to be missing. I mentioned how handsome he was in this interview and that i was so happy he got his hearing problem taken care of. Again, i say God Bless You, Frankie. ❤💞🍷🍷🎊🎉🎈🎈
I’ve loved his music since I was a kid in the early 60s. And I’m not even Italian! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think I must've heard Walk Like A Man when it was a hit, just 2 years before I was born. Have loved them ever since. That otherworldly voice...
I still go back over and over everything they did!
What a voice and beautiful person My dream for 51 yrs I'm dream to meet him top man xx
Loved that guitar player with the see through guitar and Joey Long..looked played and sang great.
He is so cute even now at 84...Great Frankie Valli !
Great Interview Mr Frakie Valli is The Greatest Singer I ever heard.
Grease was huge for Frankie Valli
Beautiful songs ❤❤
Incredible super talent Frankie Valli and he,s humble.
Part of the renaissance of music 🎶
I like the song walk like a man.
Went to see him at the o2 last month and loved it great singer
Love him
Saw 7times and met nice shy man
The real boss of NJ.....in my opinion.

I just saw the comment i put on here a couple of hours ago. I was just reading what i wrote and now its gone. I think it was a very nice comment. I hope that it wasnt removed by an outsider. There is a very big male celebrity that i do believe has feelings for me , but we have never dated or met in person. I think he would be very jealous if he saw me say something nice to Frankie. I hope you received my comment otherwise i will have to write it again. For all i know he might have deleted other comments i have made about concerts etc. I really hope not. 😱😁😃🤠🤓😎❤
I HAD A PICTURE WITH FRANKIE AT THE LATIN CASINO IN N.J.

Disfrutando historia en 2021.
What did it mean in the video at 18:30 "Frankie grows up and loses his falsetto"? And after that , no followup as expected , instead a performance of Ragdoll compete with the high notes? Was the explanatory segment deleted , as Frankie continued to perform in Concert "singing" the high notes? Much controversy over "Is he really singing or not"? Very hard for me , as I'd assume "not" , since he is to me by far the best singer EVER , but that's life , So much is made about his fantastic falsetto , which it is , but How about the best "regular" singing voice ever - by far!
Frankie Valli está en este canal de Francisco. Martinez- Conde Lagos y KZread. Mésala. M- 16. Gracias por estar juntos con la leyenda. ❤️🌶🌶❤️❤️
Hello Mr Valli. . I worked at St John's Cemetery. Which u were friends with my co worker. Diane westervelt
Saw them 1976
Love Frankie and James, do have any more of this series?
Do you have the Grateful Dead programme ?
Sweeping outside the projects looked up and said hey Tess just cut a record Sherry go buy it
They don't make music like that anymore
Can You Please Download the Clips of the music I never saw before here in this interview ?
Holy shit, it's Vic Fontaine!
Does anyone know where to find video or the footage of them doing this Don't think twice it's alright live?
Holy crap Maria must have been 18 years old
Save it for me and Swearin to God are my favs...I am a singer too and had a tape so went to his house to see if he would help but he was not happy at all LOL as i snuck in past the guard house to the apts. He was really nasty and had on a red velvet smoking jacket..LOL..
I bet the issue with getting his hearing fixed was a combination of him needing technology to catch up with him and then how many Doctors passed because they didn't want to be "the" Doctor that screwed up the "Legend" Frankie Valli's hearing even worse. It had to go through their minds.

I hate to be the one to piss in someone's cornflakes but.... Frankie Valli was a pervert.... Having an affair with a ( willing ) 16 yr old when he was 40 turns my stomach....Willing or not !!! To much of that going on these days... My love is for the drummer Gerry .... Now he had the voice and talent
Frankie is although talented , he is not so much a legend as the media makes him out to be. All the members of the four season played a part in their success but Frankie decided he could make tons more money by screwing is band and go single. And he did just that. Left them dry and played off their hits as well as a couple come backs that were written by outside writers .
