Frankie Valli (born 3 May 1934 in the Italian First Ward of Newark, New Jer… Read Full Bio ↴Frankie Valli (born 3 May 1934 in the Italian First Ward of Newark, New Jersey, USA as Francis Stephen Castelluccio) is best known as the lead singer of The Four Seasons. The band was one of the biggest music acts of the 1960s. During his tenure with the group Valli released several albums as a solo artist. His best known solo single is 1967's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." He also enjoyed a string of hit singles during the disco era, including "My Eyes Adored You" (U.S. #1 in 1974), "Swearin' to God" (U.S. #6 in 1975), and the title track from the film Grease (#1 in 1978).

Valli scored over twenty-five Top-40 hits with The Four Seasons, a handful of Top-40 hits dubbed as a solo act in the late 1960s, one dubbed as The Wonder Who? in 1965, and again as a solo act in the mid to late 1970s. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with The Four Seasons in 1990.

Valli started his singing career in 1952. He cut his first single in 1953 as "Frankie Valley" –-a name he adopted from Jean Valley, his favorite female singer. In the mid-1950s he split up with The Travellers and joined The Variety Trio, which consisted of Tommy DeVito, twin brother Nick, and Hank Majewski. They redubbed themselves The Variatones, and later as The Four Lovers. Under this moniker, they scored a Top 40 hit with "You're the Apple of My Eye" in 1956. After a few more name changes, the group finally settled on The Four Seasons in 1960. About the same time, Valli Italianized his name to its current form. Nick DeVito and Majewski left the group in 1960 or 1961. Bob Gaudio and Nick Massi replaced them.

With Valli as its lead singer, The Four Seasons had a series of hits, including five number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Their first chart-topper was "Sherry" in 1962. They scored their final number one single in the U.S. in 1975 with "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)." The song enjoyed a second run on the U.S. charts in 1994 (credited as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons) when a remixed version hit #14 on the Hot 100.

Frankie Valli Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothin' else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Line by Line Meaning

You're just too good to be true
You are beyond perfect and amazing, almost too good to be real

Can't take my eyes off of you
Your presence is so captivating and mesmerizing that I cannot look away

You'd be like Heaven to touch
The sensation of touching you would be akin to being in Heaven

I wanna hold you so much
I have an intense desire to hold and embrace you tightly

At long last, love has arrived
Finally, after a long wait, true love has come into my life

And I thank God I'm alive
I am grateful to still be alive and experience this wonderful feeling of love

Pardon the way that I stare
Please forgive me for staring at you for an extended period of time

There's nothin' else to compare
There is nothing else in the world that can match your beauty and allure

The sight of you leaves me weak
Seeing you renders me powerless and weak in the knees

There are no words left to speak
Words are inadequate to describe how I feel about you

But if you feel like I feel
If you share the same feelings I have for you

Please let me know that it's real
Kindly inform me that the love between us is genuine and sincere

I love you, baby
I have a deep affection and fondness for you, my love

And if it's quite alright

To warm the lonely night
I need your warmth and love to alleviate the emptiness and solitude I feel at night

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
My endearing term for you, my lovely partner

Don't bring me down, I pray

I sang it back to him every morning and night for 8 months when I was connecting his nutrition line. He died a week before our 40th anniversary.

A rant from me.
My husband took his own life in February and when he was hospitalized, I was crying holding his hand and this song started playing on the random playlist that was on ringing on my cell phone, and I understood, it was time to let him go.
And shortly afterwards I saw him pass away, holding his hand and with a lot of pain in my heart.
And that pain is still here.
Because she never goes away, she will always be there, i can try, but the grief will always persist, when i think of him, the grief returns and i cry.
But we need to understand, that sometimes it's better that way...
It could be different, but if it wasn't, there's a reason.❤

@shirleypena4133

@Evelio DLeon Sadly, that is the way most people sing this song at ANY age, lol. They think they have to scream out the chorus at the top of their voice, when actually the chorus is the least important part of the song's depth of feeling. For the many people-both famous and not so famous-who have performed this song, almost no one performs it properly, other than the great Frankie Valli. The closest any other singer has come to Valli (when they performed this song) is another classic Italian/American singer who-like Valli-possesses great phrasing: Frank Sinatra.

The song requires a very skilled singer who is capable of both genuine tenderness and a delicate touch, someone with GREAT phrasing who REALLY knows how to bring out the song's depth of feeling. However, most singers these days think THE way to sing an emotional song is to bellow out at the top of their register, especially at the chorus. This is what gets them on shit shows like 'America's Got Talent' instead of training them to be singers whose voice will remain timeless, like that of Frankie Valli's.

Your son is far too young right now to understand any of this, so by all means let him scream out the chorus at the top of his little lungs. However, when he gets old enough to understand what makes a REAL singer, if you truly want to give him a gift that will last him a lifetime, a gift he can pass from generation to generation, teach him how to PROPERLY sing. It's one thing to pass a song along from generation to generation, it's quite another to pass on the ability to properly sing, so one can hear a song the way it was intended by the song's composer to be heard and understood.

@dleoner1

Shirley Pena thank you, what started as me sharing a wholesome moment quickly turned into a three paragraph lecture on how my two year old son SHOULD sing a song and how I should parent him. I’ll assume many will agree with the way you’ve come off: condescending, know-it-all, cold, and with ZERO compassion.

Here’s a couple facts about me: I can’t sing but I know good music, hence the reason I’m here. Although I wouldn’t know how to to teach my son to hold a tune, I can teach him two things: what good music is and how to read shitty people. With that being said, I’ll continue to introduce my son to amazing music but most importantly, I’ll make sure to teach him how avoid people like you. You and every other negative Nancy (or Shirley) simply aren’t worth his time or energy.

It’s a song, Shirley, and he’s a two year old boy. He has a loving family who will do everthing they can to protect him. Whether it’s protection from Cardi B lyrics or from the Shirley Pena’s of the world who want to download all their insecurities on him, I’m going to be there for my son. Do us all a favor: turn off your router, read a book, plant a garden, call up an old friend, do some breathing, but by all means, try changing who the current Shirley is. This version of you absolutely sucks.

No one:
some random ass ppl: this is frank sinatra’s song
me, kindly : actually, it was written by bob gaudo and crew , performed original by Frankie Valli, on his solo album, solo. but was soon grouped into iconic frankie valli and the four seasons songs. this version of the song, simply, is just a recording from a different artist. neither frank sinatra or frankie valli.

When I used to get up in the night to feed my newborn son, I used to sing this to this to him because he was a much-wanted “miracle” baby whom we adored. He’s now 36 years old and we love him so much and whenever I hear this song it takes me back to 1986 and those special nights with him 💕

Bob Gaudio is in all likelihood, the most underrated -- and unnamed -- songwriter of all time. It doesn't matter who the singer is or who the band is, without the tunesmith, there is nothing to sing, say, or perform.
Period.

Thank you Bob and Frankie for so may great songs and memories.

two ways you can always tell this is really Frankie and the 4 Seasons (besides it being in a slightly higher register)

-horns and strings are like no other
-he snarls a little, nailing that high '..I love you Baby / Oh Pretty Baby'

...and nobody else has ever caught the snarl...
