Biography

Frankie Valli, the lead singer of the Four Seasons, launched a solo career in 1965 after several years of chart-topping success, while still continuing with the group which was re-billed as "Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons." He had actually begun as a solo, releasing the 1953 single [roviLink="MC"]"My Mother's Eyes" under the name Frankie Valley. His debut solo single was [roviLink="MC"]"(You're Gonna) Hurt Yourself" at the end of 1965, but his first solo success came with the gold-selling [roviLink="MC"]"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (June 1967), which appeared on his first solo album, [roviLink="MW"]Frankie Valli--Solo (July 1967). This was followed by [roviLink="MW"]Timeless (1968). Valli discontinued solo work for half a dozen years, concentrating on the group. But he returned to solo recordings in the mid-'70s. His subsequent solo hits included the number one [roviLink="MC"]"My Eyes Adored You" (November 1974), [roviLink="MC"]"Swearin' to God" (May 1975), [roviLink="MC"]"Our Day Will Come" (October 1975), and the number one [roviLink="MC"]"Grease" (May 1978).
