I absolutely love y'all! Your reactions are the best! I loved it with Simply Red and now with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Keep it up y'all!

[@chetstevens4583]

Frankie had three stages of a career. The original Four Seasons are in the Hall of Fame with songs like Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Rag Doll, and Dawn. Then he did solo stuff with hits like My Eyes Adored You and Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. To this day he tours as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons with hits like December 1963 (Oh What a Night). Sheer talent and dedication to craft has led to almost thirty top 20 hits.

[@МаксМагнус-щ9с]

Thank you, because i don't know this songs, but now...)))

[@gilbertoquinones5966]

The four season didn’t really split as they keep writing songs for Frankie

[@ka2rwp]

Four Seasons are from Newark NJ. He was able to make the high voice from singing choir for the church when he was a kid.

[@54nomore]

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons "Beggin" (1967). It was 54 years ago, when this song first came out. And yes, Mel they are the originators of this song. You and Shawn were not the only ones who did not know. After this song became a huge hit again in (2007) by Madcon for the movie "Step Up 3." The Four Seasons version once again became a big hit. Going down the rabbit hole that is "The Four Season." Is going to be well worth it. Love your reaction. Awesome!

[@MsPharrington]

Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons were awesome. Every song is great. When I was a little girl I loved listening to them. Great in concert too.

[@TheLifeloverOwl]

This song is a perfect example of an immortal masterpiece- it still goes on and on and on literally, generation-by-generation.

[@lonestarbug]

Agree.

[@SD-mw1hz]

Music back then was real and all talent, they had real singers and musicians from bands to orchestras. The sound was so good. when you hear people today they rarely sound the same singing live.

[@kathifielder1110]

How did they sound so good? In the '50s popularity was based on talent. They weren't just taking a pretty face and trying to make him or her a star with gimmicks, dancers, light shows, fashion, etc. What you're hearing is authentic music.

I first heard this song on American Idol. Now, it’s one of my favorites from this group. It’s such a cool song and it rocks. There are covers out there, but nothing beats the original.

[@greypossum1]

They sounded so good back then because they had an abundance of natural talent. No autotune and all that stuff.

[@Gutslinger]

I think there's an abundance of talent today. Just no creativity or uniqueness.. And a big part of that is because record and radio companies had control of what people could listen to for so long, and they eventually started creating models and artists to follow trends. Which is why a lot of music and artists today sounds bland and repetitive. They don't find talent anymore.. They try to artificially create it in their pre-planned cookie cutter molds.

[@user-bq9tw8lt5l]

These want to singers today late 80's through now can't sing,no talent they need a machine for them to sound good, 50's,60's 70's singers didn't ,they had natural given talent 👍

there was a bit of fixing but what song does not have that extraordinary what they did and plus this is the remastered version.

[@TorutheRedFox]

a remaster is still the original recording just mastered again using modern equipment

[@georgemusic4all4seasons]

Great review show and Beggin happens to be one of my favorite songs and written by 4 Seasons band member Bob Gaudio!!!! Who happens to be one of the most talented song writers of his time. Keep in mind the Four Seasons are one of the first bands to write the majority of their own songs and play their own instruments. One last fun fact, they are the only band to have a number one ☝️ record before, during and after the Beatles. No other Band can claim that musical achievement, now or ever.

[@americanaforever6725]

so many great groundbreaking songs

[@AngelA-qi1br]

I believe the 4 Seasons released this song in 1967, 54 years ago.

[@jeffclark7888]

Correct.

[@i.m1981]

28 times its actually been covered. Mental. Just shows what a tune it is

[@cdfdesantis699]

The harmony & Frankie's versatile voice made The Four Seasons a unique & stand-out group.

[@lonestarbug]

Agree.

[@andyachilleos5013silvereagle]

Undoubtedly the best reaction I’ve ever seen to this song Mel You had it really early❤😂

[@d.j.starling3559]

My favorite song by The Four Seasons is Opus 17. Great song!! Rag Doll is an early gem. You might know Walk Like A Man. Sooooo many great songs by this one group. Frankie Valli later recorded as a solo artist & his first huge hit is Can't Take My Eyes Off You - definitely worth a listen!!

[@bertusvanhal8855]

💖💖💖 Frankie and the 4 seasons are made a lot of songs who was covered by another bands, there is made a movie from there life's called ''The Jersey Boys''.

[@jessileerichy]

I really gotta say, ypu guys are the only reaction channel that really goes back into some of the oldies, and I love it! Most people haven't actually heard a lot of these, so the reactions are actually authentic. And they are great songs! Keep it up!

[@wildbill7081]

yes your so right

[@NiennaT]

this wasnt from the 50s. Its from 1967. still well over 50 years. listen to this and what you are hearing is Bob Guadio and Bob Crewe and the fourr seasons version of the Motown sound. 10 out of 10. Although not as famous as Brian Wilson or Phil Spector, Bob Gaudio remains one of the most talented Record Producers of all time, and sadly many do not even know his name or just how much great music he produced. The same goes for the songwriter singer and Producer and musical Partner Bob Crewe who wrote and sang on most of the four seasons, frank Vallli and many others hits.

[@jeffclark7888]

All true.

[@leighsaldivar4439]

The year I was born. 1967. We had good songs come out that year. I think a whiter shade of pale came out that year ❤️

The difference is real talent. Unlike today's artist.

Just goes to show how forward thinking and ahead of it's time this song was as it was released quite recently and nobody is any the wiser that it was a 50 yr old song.

[@jas8815]

"How do you sound that good in the 50s, compared to the song today?" The answer is...the music from back then is the roots of today's music. This is where it alllllll comes from.

This is not the 50s

[@KuroKumo96]

It’s actually late 60’s 70’s music starts to build off of a similar sound if you notice

10 no doubt! Saw the Four Seasons back in the late 70s at the Stardust Inn (no longer there) in Waldorf, MD. After the show got to met Frankie and he invited my friend and I out to breakfast at a road joint on Rt. 301. Food was great. I wish I could remember the name of the place. Probably not there anymore. Frankie was real and very kind and I'll never forget it. Thanks for the memory! 💖

This was originally a hit in 1967 and Frankie and The Four Seasons had been having hits for 5 years to this point and would go on to have more into the 70's. They are one of only a couple of US groups to survive the Beatles invasion and carry on having hits throughout. They're definitely worth a deep dive.
