Everyone loved Paul and John,
and most the hairy Stones,
the ‘60s peace protestors drooled
at Dylan’s monotone.
But me? - I always stood apart
my mates thought me doolally -
the ‘sound’ that stopped
my teenage heart,
was that of Frankie Valli.
No passing craze, from Vee-Jay days
I’ve loved the Seasons’ sound,
their high falsetto harmonies
I’ve listened to spell-bound.
I watched them grow, Bob Gaudio,
Nick Massi, Tom DeVito.
And their LP’s in plastic sleeves
I’ve laid down like good vino!
 
(Sherry….of course!)
