Gorgeous music! First time hearing FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS - SHERRY

[@abc456f]

Dawn, Big Girls Dont Cry, Walk Like a Man, Rag Doll. Frankie Valli, true legend.

[@barrysmith7710]

The best ever!!

[@razorback9926]

Bob Gaudio is the real genius, he wrote all the songs. He also produced albums for Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, and Roberta Flack. A body of work like no other.

[@sleepyjoe1248]

​@@razorback9926pretty sure the falsetto singing is what people care about. The words aren't that special but the voice certainly is

[@Kathy-bk6cg]

I used to sing Walk Like A Man to my son ❤ 🎉 in the 80s 😊

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

The problem with living through this period is simply that there were so many songs of this quality, year after year after year. Until that gradually stopped...

[@rpminc1974]

So very true !!

[@usafo6546]

Stopped in the late 1980s

[@solitarybee3714]

And never, really, returned.

[@rookmaster7502]

There was a lot of healthy competition among artists then. A pretty face or fashionable clothes just wasn't enough. You needed catchy songs and the ability to play it all live without the crutch of electronic trickery.

[@mgonzales56]

Stopped in the mid to late 70's.

[@sherigrow6480]

This song and Walk Like A Man are their best songs, and of course, this is my song!

[@craigreid7178]

I believe Walk Like a Man was their second hit right after Sherry

[@nickperkins8477]

I also like My Eyes Adored You and Who Loves You.

[@scottski51]

Their first huge hit !!

[@fluffylobster2916]

Now THIS is music!

[@go234ko96ts5]

Who can forget that gifted voice of Frankie Valli and their many , many hits throughout the years.

[@phillechezsteak7025]

Walk like a man is another excellent one

[@paulbenson4809]

Music from the golden age of music

[@leeyaferguson9019]

Oh, what a night, is one of my favorites.

[@C-Aye-Toldyaso]

The world was gobsmacked when this song appeared. I was too. 1962 was a very good year for me.

[@robert-ef8qv]

Frankie was king of the Falsetto voices . Amazing and legendary group. So many hits Harri ( Enjoy)

[@Sam-lx9sc]

Another good one Harri. This group had so many hits. Check out “oh what a night, December 1963”came out in 1976. Great song

[@george217]

One of the best songs about losing one's virginity...

[@edbluez99]

Well at least I got to see Jersey Boys live. Fantastic show.

[@billbrovero9389]

Can't take my eyes off of you , is classic

[@barrycohen311]

Valli had a wicked set of pipes....

[@JulieS261]

The man with the bass voice is Bob Gaudio (the tall man on the right in the image on the video). Gaudio wrote many of the hits that the Four Seasons had including this one.

[@stephenulmer3781]

I love most Four Seasons songs 😁

[@ALong-fo5so]

It wasn’t just Frankie Valli. The other important member was Bob Gaudio who wrote the song. They were the backbone in the band. When Gaudio retired from touring, then it became Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I think it was after 1970. You should react to Oh What A Night, Walk Like A Man, etc

[@haroldlarson5458]

Hi Harri, in 1962 American Bandstands Dick Clark first played this song and declared; "This will be a big hit".... I had the 45 within the week the best $ .79 cents spent. Still got the record too!

[@charlenetherrien3788]

yes. I was called Sherry! Loved it

[@bengilbert7655]

There is a Broadway play about them, Jersey Boys. It was later made into a movie.

[@ChuckHackney]

I can almost hear this song being sung acapella on a Brooklyn street corner on a hot NYC summer eve.

[@ChuckHackney]

These guys are so good they did a Broadway play about them!

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Brilliant song and great reaction, Harri ! .. You just can't go wrong with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons .. So many top quality songs, and THAT voice of Frankie's is just a killer .. It makes you stop what you are doing and just get lost in it .. You said you already know Big Girls Don't Cry, so now that you've heard Sherry, your next hit MUST be Walk Like A Man .. Cheers, Wayne

[@AlamoDame7]

Love, love, love "Sherry"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Harri!

[@jackempson3044]

There was no voice correction back then. Good chance this was recorded on four tracks, eight at the most.

[@papadoh4231]

I do know a Sherry named after this song and a Diana named after same by Paul Anka

[@debbiechang5781]

Another blast from my past😂😂🌺✌️

[@nickperkins8477]

Frankie is excellent in the falsetto.

[@brenda9140]

👏😂Thx Harri. Keep their songs commin'

[@aviatom1]

Big smile on my face

[@rickandersen2284]

I love this song...those were the days !

[@gregkleinfall1901]

This brings back memories.

[@wendysilva8749]

I believe he is still performing!

[@RadioReactiveOne]

No artist had more singles chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1960s than Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Not Elvis. Not the Beatles. Not the Rolling Stones. Not the Beach Boys. Not any Motown act. No artist charted more singles in the '60s than Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Stone cold legends. And amazingly, Frankie still has that falsetto -- at least as recently as the last videos I've seen of him just a few years ago. That's one voice I would never have predicted would stand up to Father Time.

[@scruffyroses2796]

Thank you for always mentioning us grannies & grampas. This is the music we grew up on & it's a joy to see younger folks getting into it. And a heads up...we aren't your grannies' grannies anymore!

[@Patricia-h4o]

ALWAYS LOVED THE FOUR SEASONS WENT TO SEE THE MOVIE JERSEY BOYS😊

[@debbieseymore481]

OMG I love this kind of music.

[@BobC-fo3si]

You say at the beginning of your reaction that you remember where you were when you first heard a particular song. I remember first hearing Sherry when I was in Junior HS. A bunch of us were hanging out under a street lamp just after the sun went down. I had a big crush on one of the girls we were with. Great memories. Great reaction.

[@georgeditzel3504]

Jersey Boys, great show!

[@lockaby1]

i was young when this song come out and i enjoyed it every time it played

[@TheDivayenta]

We all cha-cha-d to this back in the day. If it’s playing in the UK- don’t miss the live show “ Jersey Boys”. It’s pure joy.

[@tootsie3612]

I'm named after this song. My Momma loved this song.

[@sherryheim5504]

I had to come to hear this song, people have been singing this to me for so many years, each person thinking it is the first time that somebody was singing it to me. This is actually a very good song, thank you for reacting to it.

[@shanenolan8252]

Lol . Yes you would have too . Sherry. I have sung Michelle and lola to girlfriend's.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Sherry you're a star!

[@lesliepartridge9895]

I have just had “The Twelve DayS of Christmas” sung at me so much, I just make the comment first. And then there’s the family…. 😁

[@sherryheim5504]

@@lesliepartridge9895 Ha! I feel your pain! There are 4 Sherry songs so I have gotten so much of each.

[@kennethohnemus4750]

It probably does get old after a while. I feel y'alls pain. I was REQUIRED to stay away from any woman named Barbara, because my name is Ken

[@helgar791]

I had the great pleasure in seeing The Four Seasons twice in the middle 60's here in NYC. My favorites are "Candy Girl", "Big Man In Town", "Dawn", "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", and "Oh, What A Night".

[@hugolarsson3600]

December 63 (Oh What A Night).

[@sundayze]

The last time I heard this song was karoke night in a bar in Tombstone, Arizona. My sister had gotten married earlier that day, and it just so happened there was a biker convention that same weekend. Well, this 250 lb middle aged biker wearing a leather vest got up and sang "Sherry". He was so good, hit every note, his falsetto was spot on, knew every word by heart, and the whole bar was amazed!

[@talltulip]

I remember cranking the volume up and singing along to this record in my room many many times in my teens. This song was already pretty old by that time, but I just LOVED trying to keep up with Frankie's high notes. A lot of times, I had my headphones on while I sang, and I can only imagine how awful I must have sounded to my family members. Hahaha!

[@Amenphoto]

I was 7 years old when this song came out in 1962 and I loved it even then. I remember sitting on the back porch of my house listening to it on my old transistor radio.

[@stellaandes9622]

This was a number one hit in the US for five weeks. I love the song and the nostalgia it brings me today.

[@jangle4246]

Along with "Sherry," my favorites are "Dawn," "Ronnie," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."

[@breckrichardson390]

And I'll add "Marianne." But "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" is probably my favorite, though I love them all.

[@cynthiafox2541]

You need to watch the movie Jersey Boys! I have watched it 13 times!!!

[@kenvarnold3659]

Used to hear this on my little transistor radio from WLS in Chicago...was amazing at the age of 14...

[@JeMy569]

Just love that voice! Never get tired of hearing him sing. Such a classic( goat)!!

[@x_mau9355]

yea.. it's smooth like silk, mesmerising... truly incredible.

[@suzanneprock7286]

I was a grade schooler when they were popular. My mother had all of their 45's.

[@steveandtammyb]

I have always loved this song!

[@IllumeEltanin]

Ah... Now you're hitting the classic Frankie Valli.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Yes!!!! 😀

[@jam6242]

Saw Frankie in concert just a few years ago. He still sounded great!

[@americanaforever6725]

What a voice. Their sound was was ahead of their time

[@shanenolan8252]

Love them

[@marielaveau5321]

Thanks to my mom I grew up with Frankie Valli. I still love this song now. 🥰✌️

[@cherylberry5058]

i'm so glad that i grew up in that era...

[@jimsealy9489]

You must react to Rag Doll by them next and Big Girls Don't Cry

[@missd9785]

So good! Song always makes me smile. Thanks for this reaction. WALK LIKE A MAN OH WHAT A NIGHT

[@greybeard2280]

I tend to lead towards "Big Girls don't Cry" and "Can't take my eyes off you"

[@despinakollas]

We in NYC love Frankie. He is a staple in Italian restaurants, being that he was Italian and from New Jersey, just across the bridge. Amazing voice. Great music, and songs.

[@nickperkins8477]

Sherry is a quintessential Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Exemplary for Frankie’s tremendous falsetto voice.

[@melaniebrown4660]

Take a trip down the Four Seasons rabbit hole. You won’t regret it!

[@fredmarinovich5477]

If you like him give a listen to Lou Christie

[@surlechapeau]

Yes, Lou's "Lightnin' Strikes"

[@cls6055]

They had so many hits! They had a 70's hit called "Who loves you". One of my favs!! Also ..".Oh What a Night" from '76 I think. Great tunes you'll love!

[@lauriehollingsworth7612]

Hi HARRY !! I love watching your reaction to Sherry Lol !! The expressions on your face is comical !! I love it. You play awesome selections and I'll ya, you've got me hooked. Yoû're doing a fantastic job, keep them coming!

[@nickperkins8477]

All of Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons is timeless.

[@georgemusic4all4seasons]

Excellent song Sherry!!!! Thanks for reviewing it, and you are so right it is a beautiful sounding song by the one and only Four Seasons.

[@alantauro13]

Other songs like "Walk Like A Man", "Rag Doll", "My Eyes Adored You", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "December 63 (Oh What A Night)" and "I've Got You Under My Skin".

[@janicetilley5540]

I always loved Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons. I was in my teens when they first hit the airwaves. Reminds me of those summer days at the Jersey shore. So many great songs.👍🏽👍🏽🌼

[@Jody525252]

I remember hearing this song when i was about 11 and fell in love with it, they have several hits though the 60's, one great freakin fantastic group 🎵

[@odiebryer2144]

Harri, I was 13 when this song came out . . . which means that as I am listening to you reacting to this song, I am now 71. Absolutely LOVED The Four Seasons ❤ and, especially, Frankie Valli, for sure! And always have loved them! I think I've watched the movie, Jersey Boys about 100 times! Please, please, please react to more Frankie Valli. Some of my favorites are Opus 17, Rag Doll, Walk Like a Man, My Eyes Adored You, Let's Hang On, Beggin' along with many, many others! 💖 Please play some more soon! 🙏

[@solitarybee3714]

Gotcha! I'm 77. Were we lucky when it came to great music, or what...

[@randykerchmar5296]

You would probably like 'Do You Wanna Dance"; listen to an earlier cover, around 1960. The later ones are good, but have a different feel.

[@johnrogan9729]

You’re quickly becoming one of my favorites! Thanks for your great content.

[@bobconklin7159]

I count myself fortunate that I was alive when this music was new.

[@jaycooper2624]

"Sherry" began my life-long love affair with the 4 Seasons that continues to this day. The track made number 8 in the UK charts in 1962 (I was 13 at the time) and for the princely sum of 1 shilling (5p nowadays) I bought the copy that had just been removed from the Juke Box in our local cafe - I still have it along with every other 4 seasons (and Frankie Valli) track released before and after. Truly one of the greatest vocal groups of all time, the life story of the group was made into a musical ("Jersey Boys") which met with huge success on the London stage. Thanks for this, for a couple of minutes I was 13 again!

[@craigreid7178]

This was the 4 seasons first hit. I remember clearly when it came out. His falsetto was ground-breaking.

[@greybeard2280]

Think it was couple years ago, my friend and I got in a heated battle. He tried convincing me that Adam Levine of Maroon 5 had a much better falsetto than Frankie. I had to finally prove Frankie was the superior by setting my phone to play Frankie singing Big Girls Don't Cry and his phone played Adam singing Moves Like Jagger. Frankie overpowered Adam convincingly. Quite an experiment.

[@DJKhal21]

Adam Levine is good but is no way a Legend like Frankie Valli

[@Kathy-bk6cg]

Frankie Valli really had a high voice in the 60s ❤

[@martyemmons1859]

The level of talent from The 4 Seasons is undeniable. I can't believe how much I love listening to "Sherry" even now (2024)!

[@dsusan17]

A very famous group before our time! Haha

[@xiurong888]

I am almost 68. They were my first favorite band. I went to summer camp around 1964, and every time "Rag Doll" came on the radio my counselor made us all stop what we were doing to listen to the song. That and "Dawn" were my favorites back then.

[@d.j.starling3559]

Check out The Four Seasons' song called Opus 17. Of their long & great catalogue, that's my favorite!

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

Yes!!! “Opus 17 (Don’t You Worry ‘Bout Me)” is their most awesome song by far!

[@robertdanyus6836]

When you get a chance watch the movie called Jersey Boys. It's based on the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Clint eastwood-directed the movie The Jersey Boys

[@alexschonski3637]

One of a kind . The band was and is still amazing .

[@trespatines8698]

Beggin’, next.

[@shanenolan8252]

My favourite is working my way back to you . It was covered and was a hit again in the 70s .

[@andythrush3341]

Great beat u can dance to! I was a Valli impersonator at 8 yrs old. A terrific oldie. Thanks for playing it Harri! You get better everything I listen it

[@rvprossjjlrzar]

So good!! Frankie Valli also sang the title song "Grease" for the movie Grease if you haven't already responded it. It was written by Barry Gibb too. Love his voice!

[@jimmythetout109]

Of course the Theater hit " Jersey Boys " was based on the story of Valli and the 4 Seasons ..

[@joesmo9671]

It's an oldie but a timeless one. Still cool listening to it today.

[@JK_Clarke]

Harri, give "I've Got You Under My Skin" a go ... maybe Franki's best all-around performance ... plus it's almost 4 minutes long :)

[@kennethohnemus4750]

Another really enchanting voice is Ronnie Specter, alone or in a duet

[@waltw4537]

So I was 12 years old in 1962 when i first reacted to "Sherry". This why these reactions are so great! To see folks react the way we did back in the day! Guess that defines timeless music!

[@MrMarco855]

I named my oldest daughter Sheri because of this song.
