On the recording of Four Seasons' "Rag Doll". Stumbled upon this and I imagined some here may appreciate.

I like frankie vali and the four seasons theirs a recent movie made
about the four seasons called jersey boys directed
by clint eastwood it's a pretty good movie ,a rags to riches story.
frankie vali sings falsetto like the bee gees did.
i have a frankie vali and the four seasons greatest hits compilation cd set.
my favorite song of theirs is DAWN and RAG DOLL but they have many hit
songs and were a rival to the beatles.
i'll be damned right now as i'm writing this the radio station here
is playing DAWN. SPOOKY
I like the way they banged out fast recordings in the old days
flaws and all but alot of character.

My daughter has a bit part in that movie, as one of Valli's daughters. She gets royalty checks, so keep buying Jersey Boys products! We need to buy her shoes!

I really enjoyed that movie.

Although I found it odd that they move the death of one of Valli’s daughters from 1980 to 1967 to coincide with the song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”. Mind you that’s Hollywood and as an exec director Frankie Valli let it go ahead.

If it’s “A True Story” it’s probably only 50% correct. If it’s “Based on a True Story” we’re looking at 25%. But lately there’s been a lot of movies “Inspired by a True Story”….they’re probably floating somewhere between total fiction and 10% truth!!!

And don't forget "Inspired by True Events" = carte blanche for movie-makers to inject something that didn't exist. My wife knows that look now when we're watching something & I just shake my head...

That is still one powerful record. A primo, late night, going somewhere in the van belt it out and sing-a-long track.

I keep their greatest hits CD in the rotation box that I carry on long trips.

Thanks, that was a great article.
