Frankie Valli was born Francis Castelluccio, May 3, 1937, in Newark, NJ.
Propelled by his trademark falsetto, Frankie Valli and his group, the Four Seasons, hit the American music scene in the late 1950s and never looked back. Their "doo-wop" harmonies--initially part of the rhythm and blues tradition--were enhanced by Valli's singular three-octave range, which carried the Four Seasons over the top both literally and figuratively. Despite competition from such monster artists as Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, and even the Beatles, Valli and the Four Seasons quickly became kings of "rock and soul." The group enjoyed its greatest success during the 1960s, with chart-topping hits like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," and "Rag Doll."
