The Four Seasons are one of the greatest American groups ever. Frankie Valli has one of the best voices in history. They are true legends

These guys were big on the radio when the Beatles and English invasion happened. They never changed. The stayed in their lane their entire career and made it big anyway.

Group called Maneskin recorded a cover of Begging in 2017. Four Seasons are always great!! My favorite of their songs is Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'Bout Me). Can't think of a bad song in their huge catalogue.

Saw Frankie and his young backups a few years back, pre-Jersey Boys, and felt a bit saddened. The backups could have cared less that they were singing with a living legend and unlike the great Tony Bennett, his voice was no longer servicable, imho. So ten years later.... he's going to be performing again in my neck of the California woods???! No.... just, no.

@@scottski51 Yeah, It was good to see him but like you said. Saw Paul McCartney a few months ago in NY. HE played for 21/2 hours without a break. You can hear his voice cracking a bit but to see him singing those songs is worth a little cracking vocals. I guess if they get too bad people won't pay to see them huh?. My kids said Frankie was lip - syncing. I was not sure. Thanks for your comment. 🙃👍

This is another group I grew up with in the 60's. They had so many great hits together such as "Sherry", "Walk Like a Man" & "Candy Girl", "Let's Hang On!", "Working My Way Back to You", "I've Got You Under My Skin" etc. When Frankie went out on his own in the 70's, the songs "My Eyes Adored You" & "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" were big hits for him. Also he had a hit with the song "Grease" from the movie. Always loved that he was able to sing in a falsetto voice.

My uncle was Tommy Devito, founding member of this band. He passed away over the summer of 2020 from Covid. You should watch Jersey Boys to get a feel for the whole vibe. Directed by Clint Eastwood, it's a really good movie. My uncle is portrayed as the villian, and maybe he was, but he was a larger than life character.

Hey Chris! My Great-Grandmother was a midwife in Silver Lake, Belleville, NJ. She delivered Gaetano "Tommy" DeVito in 1928. Tommy was my friend and mentor. No, he was not a "villain". He had flaws but he also had a big heart! He helped a lot of people behind the scenes, including myself. I grew up in the Stephen Crane Village housing projects. Frankie Valli and family lived here as well. Tommy was the best!

Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons are now on tour in 2022 with 60th Anniversary. Beggin was released in 60s. In 70s the 4 Seasons released a more jazz version. Yes, numerous groups have cut their own renditions. By the end of to 60s, the 4 Seasons were the number 1 selling American group until the mid 70s until replaced by the Jackson 5.

Song was much more popular in Europe than stateside. Barely cracked the top 100 here but made it to #1 in several other countries. You really should listen to Dawn and Rag Doll, two songs that mirror each other. In one the girl is not good enough for the boy, in the other the boy is not good enough for the girl. Rag Doll is possibly the greatest harmonies ever laid down on vinyl.

Beggin peaked at #16 on hot 100..should have been a bigger hit...but by 1967 many radio stations did not play 4 seasons as they saw them as passe..and radio djs wanted to be hip

What you probably heard was the pretty recent cover by the italian rockband Måneskin. They covered this song for one of their X-Factor Italy entries in 2017. It got a lot of traction after Måneskin won the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with an original italian song (definitely worth checking out "Zitti e buoni" both the Eurovision finale version and the music video are just 😙). When they went on tour in the US after their ESC win, their english songs, especially "Begging" and "I wanna be your slave" got a lot of attention. If you choose to check their Begging version out, definitely go for a live performance.

For all of you writing Maneskin is wrong about who got a later hit with it. A Norwegian group called Madcon had their first international hit with it Beggin in 2007. That is the version that put the song out on the map again. That is also the cover more true to the original.
