History
Newark, New Jersey, at the end of the 1950s: a group that had cycled through half a dozen names settled on one borrowed from a bowling alley lounge. The line-up that mattered paired Frankie Valli's falsetto with Bob Gaudio, a teenage veteran of the Royal Teens who wrote most of the hits, alongside guitarist Tommy DeVito and bassist Nick Massi, whose vocal arrangements gave the records their thick doo-wop backing. Bob Crewe produced. Sherry went to number one in 1962, and Big Girls Don't Cry and Walk Like a Man followed it there inside eight months. The formula stayed recognisable for a decade: a bright, hard-swinging beat-pop track, close male harmony underneath, Valli sitting an octave above all of it. Rag Doll came in 1964, and December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) in 1975. The group entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and the 2005 musical Jersey Boys built a second life for the catalogue.
