Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored nineteen Top 10 hits starting in the 60s including  “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like A Man.”   Their distinctive New Jersey-bred sound survived and even flourished in the wake of the “British Invasion” of the mid-60s.  Later, Valli went on to a successful solo career, singing the theme to the movie version of Grease and hitting the top of the charts with “My Eyes Adored You” and “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night).”   In 1990, the group was honored with their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  As evidence of the group’s staying power, a musical based on their rags-to-riches story entitled “Jersey Boys” is a Tony-Award winning smash hit on Broadway.
