I enjoyed the story written by Dean Poling on “Jersey Boys.” I met Frankie Valli 50 years ago in Philadelphia. He was a little guy in 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968.

The Four Seasons owned the Top 40 playlist on music radio stations WFIL Famous 56, and WIBG Wibbaqe Radio who played their music to death.

WFIL Famous 56 was a Top 40 station. Frankie Valli, led all the hits; “Come on Maryann,” Ragdoll,” “Sherry Baby” was a monster of a hit. Then Frankie Valli went on to do solo with “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” from 1967-68. They recorded hit after hit in the early ‘60s. I was in high school when I met him.

When I became a disc jockey, I finally received a chance to play their music on WPEN Philadelphia, Pa., Middle of the Road Station.

I remember when they taped the Mike Douglas TV Show at NBC, KY TV in the ‘60s. They don’t make songs like this anymore. The Four Seasons go back 50 years.

Doug Jones of Valdosta is a former disc jockey.
