Frankie Valli is best known as the frontman of The Four Seasons and stood out from contemporary singers for his unique falsetto vocals. Rising to fame in the ‘60s, Frankie Valli is still going strong as a solo artist 50 years later.
With The Four Seasons, Valli had 29 hit singles that reached the Top 40 and as a solo artist he added a further nine Top 40 hits. The first hit for the band was “Sherr,” which went to No. 1 in 1962. Frankie's first solo hit, “Can't Take My Eyes Off You,” which was to become his signature song, was released in 1967. Frankie and the band continued to have hits throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. In 1978 Frankie was back with a big hit, performing the title track to the iconic film Grease, which became a favorite all over the world.
Throughout their career from the ‘60s to the mid-‘70s, The Four Seasons released around 20 albums, but many more compilation and collection albums were to be released over the years. A further 10 albums were released by Valli as a solo artist, the most recent of which was Romancing the 60s, released in 2007. Valli has continued to perform and tour throughout the decades, and continues to collaborate with other artists. As recently as 2010 Valli recorded a duet with Juice Newton, “The Biggest Part of Me,” which was released as a track on Newton's Duets: Friends & Memories album. Despite a very distinguished and long-standing career, Frankie Valli wasn't to make his debut on Broadway until 2012 when he performed in a week-long concert.
For a career that has spanned half a century, it’s difficult to list all the awards and acclaim Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons have won. It‘s testament to their success that in 1990 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that they entered the Vocal Group Hall of Fame a further nine years later. The popularity of some of their recordings has stood the test of time among fans and artists who have followed them down the years. Some 200 artists have made their own cover versions of “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” alone. As if being immortalized in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wasn't enough, the life and careers of Frankie and The Four Seasons became the subject of the globally successful musical Jersey Boys in 2005. The show went on to win six Tony Awards and continues to tour today.
Not only did it look like Frankie was lip syncing, it was also WAY too loud. How can anyone try to enjoy the show when it's blaring loud. Half the audience likely took their hearing aids out.
Well, what can I say, when Frankie Valli first came on the stage, his voice sounded great, but then when we looked closer at the jumbotron, he was lip syncing, could not believe it, we didn't pay to see someone lip syncing and honestly if you can't sing anymore, hang up your microphone and stop taking peoples money. This certainly was a case of false advertising, as in no way was he singing live.
Overall a fun experience. Enjoyed the music , even though we weren't 100% certain that Frankie was actually singing and not lip synching periodically. Having said we certainly enjoyed the show, and were truly amazed that he was able to perform his songs for us to enjoy. Frankie did well for an 88 year old man and we love him...
Excellent show was amazed by the back up band and singers. For the age of Frankie Valli he did an excellent job! I would definitely go see him again!
We have seen Frankie Vallie several times over the years. At 88 years old, he put on the best show yet!! He totally captured the audience from start to finish, with ending off with a standing ovation!! So well done!! Hard to believe he's still going so strong at 88!! As an added touch, in the 2nd half of the show he came out wearing an orange T-shirt under his jacket in recognition of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Frankie Valli still has it! He & his band put on a wonderful show!
We totally enjoyed ourselves at the concert. Sitting on the lower level makes it tough to see if you have somebody larger than you in front of you so my suggestion is sit in the seats that are elevated. The backing band and singers were absolutely incredible. The quality of the sound was equally great. I can’t believe how many hits Frankie same. So the minor problem that I refer to in the title here is that it seems pretty apparent that Frankie is lip-synching. I was pretty sure as you don’t see him doing much of anything and yet the quality of the sound coming out is picture perfect. With the above in mind it was still an excellent evening and well worth it.
To get Canadians on their feet and SINGING with all their hearts is something I thought that I would never see; but Frankie, his awesome Four Seasons and the incredible band did it. The entire concert was bigger and better than top-notch entertainment. It was a gift of sheer joy which we will treasure forever. I swear it added ten years to my life! You go! Frankie Valli and the gang!
Frankie looked very frail. Lots of obvious lip-syncing in the performance. We admired his tenacity in trying to still get it on, but think he's struggling to put together a good show. His Four Seasons were truly amazing, and carried his show. Music of his was great, and always has been. He lacks the energy to carry shows like this
A little disappointed that it wasn’t the original 4 seasons but at 88 years old his phenomenal voice is still as good as it was 40 years ago.
At times I felt he was lip singing, as very expressionless and lack of enthusiasm, I get his age but have to say a bit disappointing.
We were so impressed with Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. At his age we didnt know what to expect but he certainly didnt disappoint. Just an awesome performance. Wow
Absolutely loved the show! I'm a huge fan from way back. Awesome performance from Frankie and the whole band. He just has an Amazing voice. Definitely hope to see them again.
This is the 4th time we have seen Frankie last time was nearly 3 years ago all other times were great but this time was terrible he just stood there like a zombie & the most disappointing thing was he lip sing a LOT OF THE TIME guess our days of going to see him are OVER
Show was excellent! All his hits and more. That's the way it should be. Sound was the best I've heard in a long time. Band and vocalists were top notch. Wouldn't change a thing and would go back to see him again at least once a year!
Fankie came out with the song Grease! That was his opener! Then it was hit after hit. He had the entire audience singing. We managed to come up to the stage and sing and dance. My wife and I could go see Fankoe Valli every weekend!! Cant wait till the next time he comes!! We are better better people after seeing Frankie Valli.
Hard to believe at 88 Frankie still has the voice. Great band and backup singers played all his hits. Audience danced and sang. Great concert.
Venue was good, however did not appreciate the no pictures policy by Casino Rama! Mr Valli has never stopped anyone from taking pictures or videos at his show, and actually appreciates his audiences. Not sure why Casino Rama thought they were so special but I will not be back to Rama.
Thank you Frankie and the Four Seasons for a great evening. We had lots of fun!
People go to concerts to hear them live not their recordings played back to them over a speaker. We can do that at home. The back up singer and band were doing their best but when your lead singers lips stay in one line and doesn’t change even if Bs or ps are said … it pretty obvious. And shouldn’t there be changes in the lifting and settling of the chest cavity due to breathing to sing heartfelt moments.Why show his face on the big screen?? It made it more obvious…. Was probably great before pandemic but should of not come back. Kudos to his band and singers for extra effort! I left early… couldn’t bear it after awhile…. Just felt sorry for him.
