Welcome to another in the Legends of Rock & Roll series.This is, like the others, a mini-biography of one the greatest of American bands, The Four Seasons. Come with me for a walk down memory lane as I review the life of the guys who made up the Four Seasons, and especially, the music that they produced. We'll visit each of their hits and find out how they came to be written or how they were recorded; and discuss any trivia that might be associated with the music. This book is about the group, but even more importantly, it's about the music. This series is my way of honoring the people that have brought so much joy to our lives over the years.It is an unauthorized fan tribute.The Four Seasons has been writing and performing since 1962. Under other names, they actually go back much further than that. They are true "Jersey Boys" and developed into one of the nations number one singing groups. The falsetto voice of Frankie Valli made the Four Seasons very distinctive. You only had to hear a few notes of one of their songs to know who you were listening to.
