The Four Seasons is an American band formed in 1960 in Newark, New Jersey.Since 1970, they have also been known at times as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.Known for the use of a traditional Italian-American sound, [5] they are one of the best-selling musical groups of all time, having sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide.
The sophisticated harmonic patterns of the Four Seasons punctuated by the distinctive falsetto of Frankie Valli were at once classic and innovative, as was Crewe's use of melancholy harmonica on "Big Man in Town", the space-age organ of "Save It for Me", and the otherworldly glissandos of "Candy Girl".
Gaudio was taken with Holmes' song "Genuine Imitation Life" and decided to base a Four Seasons album upon it. With Holmes as his new lyricist, The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette album was released in January 1969. The album was a commercial failure and symbolized the end of the Four Seasons' first period of success.
