Description:

Oh, what a story. Frankie Valli, who came to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is hotter than ever in the 21st century. Thanks to the volcanic success of the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Frankie and his legendary group, such classic songs as "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," "Rag Doll," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" are all the rage all over again. As the play enters its third sold-out year on Broadway, and two touring companies of Jersey Boys travel around the U.S., the real Frankie Valli is packing concert halls coast to coast, from the Rose Theater, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, to L.A.'s Kodak Theater, home of the Academy Awards.

Now Frankie salutes the decade that made him a star with his first new studio album in 15 years. In "Romancing The '60s", he puts his own stamp on some of his favorite '60s songs, the ones he always wanted to record but somehow got away.

2Frankie Valli Fan  Jul 03, 2009
I've been a Four Seasons fan since the 60's. Went to Ft. Lauderdale to hear them in the 70's and loved it. I've bored my children silly with Four Seasons music all their lives. I read all the reviews before I purchased this CD. I thought that the negative reviews couldn't be right but now I can understand why some folks could be negative. The first time I heard this CD I thought I had wasted my money but I thought I've spent my money I'll have to listen again. So I listened to the CD again. Now I know what bothers me about this CD, at times Frankie's voice sounds like an old man. That makes me sad. The CD is ok but that's all. If I could go back to making the choice to purchase this CD, I probably wouldn't buy this one but one of his other CD's.

5The original Jersey Boy...no question!  Apr 19, 2009
Excellently done versions of the 60's favorites including a special w/Jersey Boys from Broadway. This is Valli at his best...you won't regret it!

5Simply outstanding  Mar 10, 2009
Frankie's classic falsetto may be a bit faded, but this is still one outstanding album. It certainly doesn't hurt that many of favories are on it. It is the only CD I own where every song is on my mp3 player.

4Hopefully More Covers To Come  Nov 30, 2008
One of the masters of the Babyboom generation, though a little older than the rest of us. For his age, Valli does a reasonable job on this album. Even the great Sinatra lost his voice when he was about Valli's age. Age and voice criticism aside, he does a reasonable cover of these classic rock standards. Personally, I would like to see him cover some the doo-wop classics from the 1950's and early 1960's. I think he might excel at some of those old standards, him being from the East Coast and all. "When You Tell Me Good-Bye", "Let It BE Me", "My Girl/Groovin(My # 1 favorite cut)", "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "On Broadway" are my favorite cuts. I'm in hopes this will be not be all we hear from him concerning covering old favs from the past. Bob Gaudio, the true genius behind the Four Seasons, has once-again done a masterful job of vocal arranging. Musical arranger's and conductor's Artie Schroeck and Charles Calello are to be commended as well.

5Ageless  Aug 02, 2008
You don't have to be a Frankie Valli fan to enjoy this CD.
It is a wonderful example of the art of Frankie, combined with the production skills of Bob Gaudio.
An absolute listening treasure. May there be more to come.
