God sure blessed our ears with these other worldly voices. Gives me chills.

[@alanburge4798]

Frankie Valli and the four seasons are pop royalty. Total legends. Smooth and cool. Fantastic singing the vocals and harmonies are perfection.

[@danm9460]

My older sisters used to sing the this every time it came on the top 40 radio station when I was really little back in philly

[@gwengirtman1239]

Original is better. But can’t deny I still love this song.

[@Bandit77TA]

Agree 100%.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Gwen Girtman As far as remixes go this was pretty good

[@robbijohnson6983]

Its a great mix 😊

[@drunkroku4054]

Play the RECORD versions, damn.

[@st0n3p0ny]

This is not the original?... Only version I've heard.

[@blue-sc1se]

This is a Discoed up version. The original is best. Great song!

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

Agree totally, their original version of the song was much better. The original had emotion. This version sounds like you covered yourself with butter and danced with the washer in spin.

[@blue-sc1se]

well put

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

@@blue-sc1se - there are good songs in every genre - but what I didn't like about many disco songs was the dulling of emotion - there was a superficiality, a sense that one didn't care one way or the other. I think that it was supposed to reflect the anonymity and loneliness of big cities where no one really knew you or cared to really know anyone too deeply. Even Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb had more feeling behind it - more awareness somehow.

[@blue-sc1se]

@@vaudreelavallee3757 Well, I see why you might feel that way just listening to disco music, but for me as a young man spending way too much time in night clubs back then, it brings back memories. This was the main social activity and way to meet ladies. Had some crazy times!

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

@@blue-sc1se - it was the richer kids that were into discos - the drinks cost more there and the clothes that looked like lingerie and full slips were expensive. Love at First Bite epitomises the shallow indifferent to the world attitude of the disco era. She agreed to be a vampire because she didn't want to age, did not want to self-reflect, and liked to sleep during the day anyway. It was one endless party.

[@jacqepapara7898]

This is another favourite yes let’s party woohoo😁💯👍didn’t we have such wonderful music around us back then💯👍❤️

[@sjoekiloeki]

It's Frankie Valli and he's the one sitting in front. He once sang the intro song of GREASE, the movie with J. Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

[@johntash5895]

Great reaction - a rocker myself I took an interest in Frankie Valli after I watched his biopic film Jersey Boys based on the play. Very interesting how the Four Seasons style changed from Doo woo days to this sophisticated 70s piece

[@ConChaz100]

I had fun dancing to this song it was the PERFECT SONG to dance THE BUMP to. What memories .

[@davidroberts4769]

1993 Re-Mix? Why not the original from 1975 (I don't like re-mixes) but it's still a great song

[@terrisue4059]

I agree. The original is better, all that annoying noise ruins the greatness of original. The song Lean on Me is also a remix. They did the same crap to Summer Breeze.

[@Msmeenjah]

The Billy Joel one?

[@cherrymcgregor535]

The original was 1963 by frankie Valle and the four seasons! They wrote it!

[@davidroberts4769]

@@cherrymcgregor535 The Original was NOT from 1963. It's from 1975, the name of the song is 'December 1963 (Oh What A Night)"

[@cherrymcgregor535]

David Roberts oops my apologies .... brain fade .... I should have remembered we danced to this at school discos!

[@jakesam33]

I think of seen most of your reaction videos. Your reaction to the Righteous Bros. I loved. I'm from that time. I became a Dave Clark Five fan at 14 when I heard Glad All Over I'll be 70 next year and still listens to their albums yes albums. Keep making me smile with your reactions.

[@kathrynnard9492]

Love music from back then. Everyone just loved the music and gota long better than now days. Music united us all together

[@39thala]

You'll notice Franki holds the phones up to his ear when he starts to sing. He was losing his hearing at this time during 1970s. He also does this in the "Who Loves You" video as well. Surgery in 1980 restored most of his hearing.

[@cindyrobinson3077]

Love that song too!

[@flee4342]

It also helps keep time. He is listening to himself. When you sit in front of the drums that’s all you can hear.

[@bethshadid2087]

Who loves you is awesome too.

[@evilclown7170]

I thought he just didn’t want to mess up his hair. 🤣

[@BigTulsa]

Pretty sure he has the same thing i've been diagnosed with..otosclerosis

[@mitziesanders9840]

When I was in between 7th and 8th grade my grandmother bought me Motown’s Greatest Hits. Discovered Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons among many other legends.

[@commonsenseisnt2dimesandan729]

I had to look at a couple of things. Frankie Valli was Italian heritage, you saw him with an Afro hairdo, don't get mad it was 1975. Ok I kept say this is an older song the video was showing. When when Frankie was actively touring the group was Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. When this video was shot it was only the 4 Seasons and Frankie made the song what it is so they had him record it and hype it with them. The first time Oh What a Night was released was December 1963. As I already I said what I listened to was in 1975. I didn't check his age, but Frankie was getting up there in years. He didn't use his falsetto voice, but you know that's how it goes.

[@sacredlovetarot1971]

The stright version is sooo much better, the remix takes away from the greatness of the song!!! Also.. tell it to the rain by Frankie and the 4 seasons is awesome

[@mr.balloffur]

This song was sung by the drummer who had a great voice.

[@richardjamesss438]

Yes the great Gerry polci

[@Coolrockndad]

This is the 1993 remix. which hit #14 on Billboard but the original by the 4 Seasons hit #1 for 3 weeks in 1975.

[@the4seasons4ever]

1976

[@scoutfinch7727]

and with good reason!

[@dukecitywifey]

Frankie Valle & The Four Seasons stepped out of their comfort zone to do this song. I enjoyed this song as a youth in the 70s. BTW, way back when all songs came from another! Church songs included! My Country Tis Of They is the same time as God Save The Queen. Our National Anthem was originally a pub tune! The ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Black Sheep....all the same tune! Sweet Little Sixteen and Surfin USA....same tune!

[@hooleyqueen]

There is a film and a stage production of "Jersey Boys" which is the life story of the rise to fame in the 60s of Frankie Valle & the Four Seasons. I was in high school, when they hit the pop charts with one hit after another, so many! We all knew the words to each & every song. See the film; it is amazing.

[@janeofthefamilytaylor7242]

Back in UK I went to watch The Jersey Boys show in London all about Frankie Vali & the four seasons ...loved this song the best . 👍❤️

[@1970sthrowback]

Same here, best show I've seen

[@michellelittle9184]

My sister would always request this song, when we were out dancing. I was born in December ‘63!

[@jethro1963]

Late December?

[@donlombardi]

The Lead Singer on this song (Oh What a Night) is Don Ciccone formerly of "The Critters"; he also wrote "Mr. Diengly Sad", a big hit in the 60s.

[@InsubordinationFreak]

Great reaction from you. Love that the drummer was singing. I think this was re-released when I was a kid in the 90s as this version. Big hit again and all over the radio. The lyrics are hilarious and it's beyond catchy.

[@sounder9393]

This is a later remix with some extra percussion and keyboards added. From the apparent age of the guys the video was made in 1976 or so

[@tomyoung9049]

Definitely a fun, feel good song. Always thought it was cool being set in Dec 1963, exactly two years before I was born.

[@sounder9393]

The bass player who sings the really high falsetto is Don Ciccone, Madonna's uncle.

[@MelissaPrather-yv2xd]

Oh yeah this was the song playing on my first date had a blast. Frankie Valli is one of my favorites and we'll be to the day I die. Thanks for great memory. And the church part I'm sorry it's perfectly really funny my husband actually heard that version he was not far from your concert at the church he was doing a construction job there

[@SDLEIKAM]

This takes me back to 1975 and our junior high dance. Had a crush on a girl and we danced to this. 🙂

[@TheGreatGig73]

I always liked it when the lead singer would sometimes take a back seat and showcase other members off the band. Very cool and shows diversity.

[@eugeneschulte4950]

@Hillary's emails to Lorne yes!!!!!! But this was NOT true with THE FOUR SEASONS!!!!! Bob Gaudio was trying to launch THE FOUR SEASONS as a seperat Act!!!! In otherwords By themselves. Frankie Valli was on a Different recording contact with PRIVATE STOCK Records. The FOUR SEASONS were on WARNER/CURB at the time!!!!!

[@eugeneschulte4950]

Gerry Polci, and Don Ciccone were to BE!!!!! the voices of THE FOUR SEASONS!!!!!!

[@eugeneschulte4950]

Look up The Four Seasons "HELICON" L.P. from 1977!!!!!!

[@scallawagon713]

Frankie stepped down during this time because his hearing was deteriorating.

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

Wow this song was a big hit back in the 70s. Still sounds new in 2019.

[@thomasdematteo2281]

Love the song but I hated the beat track. Listen to the original.

[@chrissmyth322]

Just seen frankie vallie last Saturday in Chicago. Hes 85 and he still has it going.

[@patrickhenry4675]

I first heard this song in 1975. A friend brought the 45 RMP single in to school and we listened to it during a free time between class. I was in the 8th grade.

[@joelegoffic5414]

From the era of songs you could understand and they had a story to tell. Love those songs.

[@skvarea5788]

When u said your church stole this for the church extravaganza and u played it..and u didbt know they took it from some valley! OH WHATTA GOD!!..LOLOLOL!! 👏🏽👏🏽🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

[@jonnno2439]

If you like Frankie Valle singing on this, you will probably like him singing "Rag Doll", in the Four Seasons.

[@scoutfinch7727]

Frankie Valli (the guy on the stool) did Grease (is the word) --the song for the movie GREASE-- written by Barry Gibb (Bee Gees)

[@johnmcconnell9979]

I remember hearing this song on the Armed Forces Network Radio in Germany way back in 1974!

[@largolarry]

I was fortunate enough to see them in concert while I was in college in the mid 60's

[@ronaldcardinali2809]

FRANKIE VALLI is the same guy who sang the song Grease

Thank you for the song brother! It brought back my high school days.

GREAT song, which is unique by having three lead vocalist.

I love this guy (modern) because he finds songs from other songs. He has that gift of hearing. and I love this song since I was a kid. Awesome song

[@Yulowirri]

Thanks again brother, great music and reaction..thanks for the educational about the song, wow, God bless

[@ontherockswithsalt560]

Can't take my eyes off of you is my fave Frankie Valle song but they have many. They were always the background tracks of the old 70's and 80's mafia movies.

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

You are watching the REMIX of their biggest hit. It was mixed by a Dutch music producer. It went back into the top 10 all over again in the 90's. The drummer Gerry Polci and my high school classmate from Passaic, NJ is the lead vocalist on this song.

[@Coffeeislife33]

Love watching you enjoy this amazing music!!! Thank you!😁

[@Modern-Renaissance-Man]

Glad you enjoy it!

First heard it when I was 5 back in 1963. I'm 62 now.

[@111JenA]

Oh I remember this song. I was so young.....Thanks MRM xo

[@r13hd22]

The beat was also used by Run D.M.C, forget the name of the song but they play part of it at the start of the "It's Tricky" official video.

[@animationlynx5054]

One of the songs they used to play in the pub ... was a crowd filler loved it , great memories 💕

[@robk742]

MRM, this was one of my favorite reactions from you. I love when your playful nature really comes out as you chastise that Southern church (though they didn’t do anything different than many many others have done). Keep up the good work!

[@patriciadowning4036]

Back in the sixties, when I was a young teen, my friend Mary LOVED the Four Seasons. I remember that about her over everything else. Mary, wherever you are..still remember the good times. ( I thought you were going to say something about the "old-fashioned" plastic straws, guy! )

[@chip6147]

Love your reaction. I still have the original 45 of this song. Still enjoy hearing it.

[@janeofthefamilytaylor7242]

Hollywood actor Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Casino, My Cousin Vinny) was a friend of group member Tommy DeVito. Pesci was around during the group's formation and was responsible for introducing DeVito and Valli to singer/songwriter Bob Gaudio.👍

[@sadfaery]

Wasn't he the cousin of one of them? Or am I remembering that wrong?

[@janeofthefamilytaylor7242]

@@sadfaery No not related but Joe Pesci did play the character Tommy Devito in the Goodfellas which is his friends name and coincidental so maybe your thinking of that but non were related just friend but without Joe introducing those two the four seasons might not have happened 👍☺️

[@tahoemike5828]

I know that you have touched on the show/movie Grease. Frankie Valli sings the opening credit song, Grease (Is The Word). You should check out some of his others like Big Girls Don't Cry, Sherry, Stay, Walk Like A Man, and so many more.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

I was 12 years old when "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)" hit No. 1 in the spring of 1976. It was my best friend Jeanne's and my favorite song (we both bought the 45 vinyl record when it came out) because we were both born in late December 1963! LOL. And for some reason, some radio deejay started playing a remix of it (with more of a danceable drum beat) on the air 17 years later in 1993-94, and the song caught on and spread across the nation once again and reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 during its second chart run. As 30-year-olds, we both bought cassette singles of the song the second time around. :-)

[@annamariepolniaczek3807]

I heard this when it was new and I was young. Being the daughter of a Hellfire and Brimstone Southern Country Preacher I had to do my dancing in the dark. But you can be sure everything in the barn was grooving to the beat.

[@rachelmaree4069]

This remix used to be layed all the time in clubs I went to. Memories.

[@donlombardi]

"Save it for me"...another favorite of mine because of the experimentation with the instruments and the sounds they made.

[@you2449]

Thanks! Finally one of my Faves . Edit: And almost as good - You gotta play their Other Classic from this era: "Who Loves You"

You should listen to Who Loves You by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, my Mom's favorite!

[@francinelima5963]

I fell in love with the 4 Seasons when I was in 6th grade & have followed them ever since! I can't believe that Frankie Valle is still performing at age 83! He is still hitting those high notes!! This is a good version of the song , however, you ought to check out the original or even the 1990's version ! As you will see, the instrumental is much better! I always love to hear them in any form ! They are phenomenal ! Thanks for sharing ! Glad you enjoyed listening to them!

[@joycemcmurray102]

the video for this was filmed overseas at warner brother studio. The extra's were actually warner brothers employees. This was stored in a vault for many years, probably one reason the song flopped overseas. There's a another one that was filmed in Reno, NV it's on bubblerock on youtube.

[@AuntieCreed]

Ahhhh! Love this song! It's one of my favorites, it's so cool and fun to dance to! It was awesome to see you bobbing your head to the beat and digging it. :)

[@lindas2606]

I saw Frankie Vali perform live in the late 70’s or early 80’s. It was during the period that Frankie was trying to work off the gambling debt of one of his former bandmates and was touring like a dog to ensure the guy didn’t get “offed“ by the mob. I didn’t know that at the time, but learned it from watching Jersey Boys live and in film several times. “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” is my favourite FV song.

[@juliabel2]

A 70s remake of the old 1963 hit! Still love it! I love it, you sang this in church!

[@eugeneschulte4950]

UMMMMMMMM!!!! It was a 1976 hit. About the year 1963

[@poosala8821]

This came out around (1976) the disco era but it was a rebooted song. Still love the song. Oh, one thing I must mention, I'm not rolling thunder, I'm the lightning. Cause Lightning does the damage, thunder only makes the noise.
