His journey in the music industry began early on, when he started singing in local clubs and talent shows, gaining recognition for his impressive vocal range and abilities.
In the late 1950s, Valli formed a group called The Four Lovers, which later evolved into Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The group went through some lineup changes before settling on Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.
The group’s breakthrough came when they signed with Vee-Jay Records in 1962. “Sherry,” their first release on the label, skyrocketed to the top of the charts, earning them their first No. 1 hit.
In addition to his work with the Four Seasons, Valli also pursued a solo career and achieved notable success with songs like “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and “My Eyes Adored You.” His distinct vocal style, combined with Gaudio’s innovative songwriting, propelled the group to become one of the most influential and enduring acts in music history. Valli’s life and career were immortalized in the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, showcasing the story behind his rise to stardom.
