Nothing sounds quite like the early 1960s more than the vocals of Frankie Valli. As lead singer of The Four Seasons, his falsetto remains an unmistakable part of classic tunes such as "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry," though it's also his remarkable voice, in a lower register, behind hits like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."
At 84, Valli is still performing with his band (or variations of it, at least), so it was only natural that the story of a career like his — from a gritty start in New Jersey to chart-topping stardom — would eventually find its way to stage and screen.
That tribute has come in the form of "Jersey Boys," a Tony-winning jukebox musical on Broadway in 2006 that was made into a film by Clint Eastwood in 2014.
