a wave of major hits during the 1960s, including “Sherry,” “Walk
Like a Man” and “Working My Way Back to You.” Valli continued
with a successful solo career, spawning countless hit singles.

of You,” “My Eyes Adored You” and the title song to the moviemusical Grease. As many as 200 artists have done cover versions
of his “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” –from Nancy Wilson’s jazz
treatment to Lauryn Hill’s hip-hop makeover.

of the Broadway musical “Jersey Boys,” which chronicles Frankie
Valli and The Four Seasons' incredible career and features all their
greatest hits. The “Jersey Boys,” having premiered in 2005, has

now been seen by more than 18 million people worldwide, won
