There is so much to write about Frankie Valli, it would be a book, and true to this statement, according to a few reliable sources, Valli had the idea to do a musical story about his life, which became a reality in 2005, when Jersey Boys opened on Broadway. With a voice like Frankie Valli, it was only a matter of time before they had their number one hit, “Sherry” in 1962, which led to a string of hits. After more changes in the Band, they were re-named The Four Seasons and were finally on their way to stardom. They renamed the Band the Four Lovers and had a minor hit with “You’re the Apple of My Eye”. While being part of an audition for a female singer in 1956, the band caught the attention of a Talent Scout, who had them auditioning at RCA Victor a week later.
In 1953, Valli cut his first single, “My Mother’s Eyes”, left the House Band at the Strand with DeVito and formed their own group The Varitones. He began his professional singing career in 1951, as a teenager in Newark, New Jersey, making a guest appearance with the Variety Trio at The Strand and later became part of the House Band with Tommy DeVito.
