Frankie Valli Working My Way Back To You/Opus 17 2016

[@princessoffire1107]

Forget how amazing he still sounds live. Forget the fact he's past 80 in this clip. Go back and watch his facial expressions, shoulders and arm movements. Think about how many 1000s of time he has sang this and his other hits, night after night, year after year, for over 50 years. He STILL shows major expressions to go with each part of the song. 99.999% of performers just get up there and sing and you wonder if they are just doing it to get a paycheck. Frankie actually puts on a show and gives the audience what they want even though that man has GOT to be tired of all this sometimes. That's the mark of a TRUE entertainer from the old school.

[@MysTerry317]

If you look, he really has tears in his eyes, and I think he does remember some young thing that he lost once...

Regardless of whether he is singing live or not this Man is a legend ,very old.It should be a pleasure just to see him live and be able to say"I saw Frankie Valli in person".He is getting very old.Kudos for still wanting to do his thing.He is a singing legend :):)

[@princessoffire1107]

I know this comment is 2 years old, but just in case you haven't seen it, Frankie and the FS have some videos they did during the lockdown and pandemic. They were this year and middle of last year. There is NO faking that. Go watch. It's amazing !! Look up Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons YT channel and they are there. He hasn't put up a lot of videos so they are easy to find.

[@denisedivelbliss5581]

@@princessoffire1107 I totally agree with you. I was 4 years old when introduced to The Four Seasons music. A fan for life. I was directing the comment about whether he is singing or not at the people who don't believe that he is. I know that he is singing. Like I said ,he is a legend.

[@RebirthRadio2023]

Frankie still has it! In the sad wake of Aretha's passing, I'm cherishing the fact that Frankie is still going strong. He's been sounding better over the last few years than at any time during the late 70s/early 80s (check out some of the performances from then, when I believe he had hearing difficulties). It's clearly 99% him singing live, if not 100%. Who cares if some FX have been added to make the voice sound even better than it already does, it's part of the sound mix, no different to a guitarist using a wah pedal or a synth effect! The important thing is SOUL and Frankie has it in spades! Love the brass section to. Just amazing music, thanks Frankie for the inspiration !

[@Underdog_Drums]

I remember listening to his songs every Saturday going up to The Bronx as a child. I'm still listening. I don't know if he has backing tracks or not, but he's one of the very few entertainers who has earned that right.

[@lynnkanerva4519]

Really, how many people get on stage, let alone sing in their 80s, if they're lucky enough to reach 80yrs?

[@SweeTeaNLemon]

He's 80+ years old. He loves entertaining. So maybe he can't sing as strong as he use to when he had a great set of pipes. Quite frankly he should've been recognized more than he was back in the day. Bottom line, it's still him on that stage and lip syncing to " his" songs. How many 80 years can do that? He styles his hair so nicely ( he still has great hair), dresses great. Just standing up on stage, moving around, handling the harsh lighting wears a person, even lip syncing takes talent. So to those people complaining- don't watch. Go watch some of these great music performers nowadays that alter ( most) their music so that the singers ( some) can appear to sound as if they can sing. At least Mr. Valli could sing- he had raw unaltered talent. Boy could he sing back in the day, no alterations, just natural talent. So he still likes to entertain, let him. I would pay to go see him and listen to "his own tracks" as he lip syncs!!

Who’s “bashing?” There’s no shame in having one’s performance “assisted” or “enhanced” or in lip syncing, especially at his age. The real question is, why does it even need to be brought up?

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

You're right, he doesn't sound the same as he did 50 years ago when he's actually singing. But when he lip syncs, it sounds way too polished. Like here

Then how would you explain multiple live performances from this era with the exact same vocal performance, every little nuance? The band is playing to a click/backing track with his vocal pre-recorded on it.

[@johnscialfa7391]

first of all if he was lip-syncing I would be pissed off cuz I'm paying for a live performance that's number one. Number two there's no way he is lip syncing you can clearly tell he's not there's too many nuances in the way he's singing there's no way he'd be able to sing right in tune to the music playing in the background it's absolutely him singing.

[@HeyMrSamsky]

That's just not true. I have literally worked in shows that mixed live music with prerecorded tracks--it doesn't matter if the track is vocal or not, you have people in the band with monitors and they have a click track that plays to the song. There are many inconsistencies in the vocal part vs the mouthing of the words here. There's also many inconsistencies with distance and the proximity to the microphone not being reflected in the vocal track. I have also heard this exact vocal track in another live performance from 2012. The band is playing live to a live click track which keeps everyone on tempo and in sync with the pre-recorded vocal. It is not complex and it is more common than you might think.
