Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You almost never got the recognition it eventually acquired. Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe who both wrote many top singles for the Four Seasons, also co-wrote this song for Frankie Valli as a single for the artist.

A radio station in Windsor On Canada played this song extensively and since those airwaves covered Detroit just across the river, helped Frankie Valli get a #2 hit with this song on both sides of the border.

5. Walk Like A Man

the four seasons songs

Walk Like A Man was not written by Bob Gaudio, who wrote many hits for The Four Seasons. Instead this one was written by a guy by the name of Bob Crewe, was also a co-writer on many of those hits, including this song from 1963. It reached #1 and was the bands 3rd #1 hit. 

Bob Crewe at the time would not leave the studio in his attempt to get the perfect mix, in sprite a fire blazing away on the floor above. Firemen had to cut through the studio door and pull Crewe out. Now that's what I call dedication to your craft.

  • Drop D Tuning = No
  • Capo = No - but capo 3rd is original key
  • Rhythm = root down up root up down up  is the verse pattern and root  up down up root up down up is the chorus pattern
  • Picking = No
  • Chords = G, C/G, C, F, Am, Dm7
