Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990, Frankie Valli along with The 4 Lovers, The 4 Seasons, as well as a solo artist has had over 60 Billboard Hot 100 chart singles since 1956.
As an actor, Frankie has made notable appearances on TV Shows such as Miami Vice, Hotel, and The Sopranos.
"To Make My Father Proud" is a track from Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons' 1970 LP Half and Half. Five of the tracks where labeled as "4 Seasons" and five were labeled as "Frankie Valli."
This video contains some recreations of Frankie's career from 1965 to 1970. This video is my personal tribute to Frankie Valli, the finest pop vocalist of all time.
