Frankie Valli & TFS Opus 17

[@bigwig1234]

The arrangement of the vocals of the backing singing on this song is nothing short of brilliant.

[@marisaledesma4068]

Every time I have this song on where I can take out one side I listen to it like that. In one ear you can hear his harmony better. That and Tell It To The Rain. In the right ear you can hear just Frankie sing no instruments just his voice.

Best song i've ever heard. Frankie Valli is a great performer!

[@alexallan-musicaaovivo500]

This is the song that introduced me to the Four Seasons. It was a track on an old 1966 album. I discoverd it when I was around 9 in 1977. As Dick Clark said once, "Valli has something". Boy, does he.

[@jessereyes7009]

I just want to congratulate this amazing singer. He has given us a wonderful meaning of what music is really made of. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart___thank you very much!!!!

[@josephinerimmer6888]

My all time fave 4 Seasons song!

[@frederickmcdougall3734]

Yes

[@GaryC.-gk3ri]

Mine too!

[@GFSwinger1693]

The harmonizing falsettos are amazing.

[@francinestgermain3746]

It's his birthday today; 85 and I say he doesn't look 85 ! What a great man !

[@DTR396]

Whoever is Valli's stage arranger/producer, deserves a Grammy. The live arrangement fills in everything Frankie has "lost" with age-- and I don't miss it! Brilliant.

[@tarstarkusz]

This is a shell of Frankie Valli and was at least 12 years ago. But Frankie Valli was a shell of himself in 1988. My father was a big fan and never missed an opportunity to watch him on PBS when they would run his concerts on PBS. Even then he could already not hit the high notes anymore.

Robby Robinson! He’s the best! He has a show every Monday called jamm’java

[@timothyslaughter476]

Frankie was a real perfectionist. What a beautiful career. Just wow. I remember catching this song on my car radio one day I was like 16 and I cranked it up to 10 and my adrenaline must have hit a hundred and all the sudden I'm driving 80 mph. It became my fav 4 seasons tune that very minute.

The composure, chemistry and energy in this recording are incredible! The drummer makes his drumming look effortless.

[@davinastanton3865]

I still love this man and his music. He has such an amazing presence. Wonderful. 🌹 From Bonnie Scotland.

[@alanvacca7499]

These guys were top notch, thanks to Bob Gaudio's direction.

[@chuckmaniaci1459]

Absolutely correct. Thank you Joe Pesci.

[@jimharris4734]

Yes, and Bob Crewe's recording and writing genius.

[@adamdrummer1991]

And the musical director Robbie Robinson

[@Anna65909]

BOB GAUDIO was the brains and creativity among them all.

I'm 73 now, and watching you and the Jersey Boys sing, "Silence is Golden". I've watched you my whole life, thru record hops and private parties. You were my #1 then, and you remain my #1 today. Thx for "everything". Much luv! ❤

[@strattt10]

When you see him sing live now, his mouth hardly opens. LI love old 4 Seasons. Even up to this point! Sounds great! Great backing band!

[@chuckmaniaci2233]

Man ! Frankie kills it in this song so does his group-from the backup singers to the drummer ! The drums @ 1:56 !!!

[@bobsneed2971]

Drummer was Chuck Wilson.

[@wmoy8507]

After all these years Frankie still has his voice. The falsetto is not as high but he still got it.

[@techguy909]

I've gotten to see Frankie Valli 2xs. I would love to see him again. I've always been a true oldies fan and Frankie is one of my favorites. When I say true oldies, I mean 50s and 60s.

[@Walesbornandbred]

I've always lived this song, great arrangement. Frankies still a great as he ever was.

[@LICHBKLYN1]

I love this vid! Not to mention how much I love this song! How gr8 2 c them perform it live. And they so seem 2 b enjoying every minute. That's class. This song does something 2 me. It's sad, but so upbeat. Only Frankie & the 4 seasons could do this. GREAT! ABSOLUTELY GREAT!

[@gloriaseoane4687]

He is always in Cleveland, Ohio. Fabulous Show! He sounds the same as he did back in the 60's!! So love him!!!

Frankie just talks his way through my favourite 4 seasons song in this performance.

[@MrWilliamtom]

There's a really nice article out on the web about the history of Opus 17 from Denny Randell, the man that wrote it. KZbin won't let me paste the link. But if you search Google for "Is Opus 17 Classical" along with the name "Randell & Schippers", you'll find it.

[@Thomasgene]

I love the Feel of this song! I never want to meet the 27 ............that don't like this one

[@MrWilliamtom]

@seanny1963 It's not that he could not remember the right words. I feel he intentionally changes words in his live songs to show he's not lip-synching from a recording. Every performance of his songs have different words here and there. I heard him sing this song live and the words he used then were different from what you heard here. My first reaction to hearing it was---he changed the words---but I feel it's okay...he sang the original, he can do whatever he wants with it singing live.

[@coastermania17]

You can definitely tell it's not lip synced because there were a couple of notes that didn't quite make it. If it was a recording, they would have taken the time to make sure every note is perfect. It's still an absolutely phenomenal performance and those little imperfections give it even more life

[@hayal8526]

❤❤

[@chriscianciolo5823]

Frankie was not lip syncing at all in 1992. That started around 1998.
