WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY ORIGINALLY MADE THIS SONG! FRANKIE VALLI & THE FOUR SEASONS - BEGGIN' (REACTION) 

Frankie had three stages of a career. The original Four Seasons are in the Hall of Fame with songs like Sherry, Walk Like A Man, Rag Doll, and Dawn. Then he did solo stuff with hits like My Eyes Adored You and Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. To this day he tours as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons with hits like December 1963 (Oh What a Night). Sheer talent and dedication to craft has led to almost thirty top 20 hits.

Four Seasons are from Newark NJ. He was able to make the high voice from singing choir for the church when he was a kid.

How did they sound so good? In the '50s popularity was based on talent. They weren't just taking a pretty face and trying to make him or her a star with gimmicks, dancers, light shows, fashion, etc. What you're hearing is authentic music.

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons "Beggin" (1967). It was 54 years ago, when this song first came out. And yes, Mel they are the originators of this song. You and Shawn were not the only ones who did not know. After this song became a huge hit again in (2007) by Madcon for the movie "Step Up 3." The Four Seasons version once again became a big hit. Going down the rabbit hole that is "The Four Season." Is going to be well worth it. Love your reaction. Awesome!

They sounded so good back then because they had an abundance of natural talent. No autotune and all that stuff.

This song is a perfect example of an immortal masterpiece- it still goes on and on and on literally, generation-by-generation.

Rag Doll another good one. You wouldn’t believe how many “newer” songs are actually covers ☮️💜

NO AUTO-TUNE in those days that was entirely them that is how they sounded on record and LIVE

No autotunes, not mixing, just original voice and talent.

"How do you sound that good in the 50s, compared to the song today?" The answer is...the music from back then is the roots of today's music. This is where it alllllll comes from.

They sound that good because they actually had REAL talent and did not need technology to sound good.

I believe the 4 Seasons released this song in 1967, 54 years ago.

The difference is real talent. Unlike today's artist.

this wasnt from the 50s. Its from 1967. still well over 50 years. listen to this and what you are hearing is Bob Guadio and Bob Crewe and the fourr seasons version of the Motown sound. 10 out of 10. Although not as famous as Brian Wilson or Phil Spector, Bob Gaudio remains one of the most talented Record Producers of all time, and sadly many do not even know his name or just how much great music he produced. The same goes for the songwriter singer and Producer and musical Partner Bob Crewe who wrote and sang on most of the four seasons, frank Vallli and many others hits.

While we're in the beggin' mood, how about Ain't Too Proud to Beg by The Temptations from 1966?! 🔥

To me the best song by Frankie Valli and the four seasons is Oh what a night the original video. And either Walk Like a Man or Big Girls Don't cry. ♥️❤️♥️

Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons were awesome. Every song is great. When I was a little girl I loved listening to them. Great in concert too.

Frankie Valli is awesome!! That man brings the 🔥. 💯%

Music back then was real and all talent, they had real singers and musicians from bands to orchestras. The sound was so good. when you hear people today they rarely sound the same singing live.

Only hearing this classic this time did I really notice the bass and drums just going absolutely ham in the background the entire track. My god it is glorious.

The harmony & Frankie's versatile voice made The Four Seasons a unique & stand-out group.

I first heard this song on American Idol. Now, it’s one of my favorites from this group. It’s such a cool song and it rocks. There are covers out there, but nothing beats the original.

28 times its actually been covered. Mental. Just shows what a tune it is

💖💖💖 Frankie and the 4 seasons are made a lot of songs who was covered by another bands, there is made a movie from there life's called ''The Jersey Boys''.

Just goes to show how forward thinking and ahead of it's time this song was as it was released quite recently and nobody is any the wiser that it was a 50 yr old song.

My favorite song by The Four Seasons is Opus 17. Great song!! Rag Doll is an early gem. You might know Walk Like A Man. Sooooo many great songs by this one group. Frankie Valli later recorded as a solo artist & his first huge hit is Can't Take My Eyes Off You - definitely worth a listen!!

Great review show and Beggin happens to be one of my favorite songs and written by 4 Seasons band member Bob Gaudio!!!! Who happens to be one of the most talented song writers of his time. Keep in mind the Four Seasons are one of the first bands to write the majority of their own songs and play their own instruments. One last fun fact, they are the only band to have a number one ☝️ record before, during and after the Beatles. No other Band can claim that musical achievement, now or ever.

I absolutely love y'all! Your reactions are the best! I loved it with Simply Red and now with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons! Keep it up y'all!

I really gotta say, ypu guys are the only reaction channel that really goes back into some of the oldies, and I love it! Most people haven't actually heard a lot of these, so the reactions are actually authentic. And they are great songs! Keep it up!

You gotta do “Who Loves You” by the Four Seasons!

50's early 60's the best music era. My 23 yr old son can sing many of these songs.

They sounded that good in the 50"s and 60's because, simply put, they were that good. Great natural talents, all of them.

I watch a lot of reactions but this is by far the best I've ever seen

I’m afraid you’ll encounter quite a few of these “wtf?” moments as you do more reaction videos, as you gradually realise that so many songs you thought were contemporary are sampling or covering the old greats 😃

Frankie Valley and 4 seasons. Timebox, maneskin, madcon shocking blue, noel macanna, Patricia play, the Saturdays, dolapdere big gang, the overtones, million miles plus at least another 6 to 10 bands covered this tune. I bet the royalties are ridiculous. Great tune. Timeless clearly

This song was recorded in 1967. Only a merr 54 years ago 😂

Those Guys are geniuses.Can be tweaked but it doesn't get better than this.Frankie Valli is in his 80s now. You guys should check out some of their videos made during Covid 19 lockdown.Legends.They sound so good. Being born in 1955 I have witnessed hearing some of the best music and artists ever. They always get a 100 from me. "My Eyes adored you","Rag Doll". Please. Great reaction Guys .Y'all are positively the best.

This was the early 60s, I think. They're biggest hits, you haven't even played yet. Sherry, Ragdoll, Walk Like a Man, and on and on.

Undoubtedly the best reaction I’ve ever seen to this song Mel You had it really early❤😂

This is an Original written by them and released in 1967 Another GREAT one of theirs that others have covered is 'The Night'. it's one of my favorites

Much sought after with the Northern soul music collectors

the music and his voice. i am glad you are bringing the music back

Memories back in The Bronx 1960s. Is my favorite group 60s

We could turn on a radio, AM, no FM, and hear all the hits by these groups. Transistor radios were popular for easy take along. The first records I played were 78's.😄

One of the composers of "Beggin'" was Bob Gaudio, one of the Four Seasons! He's the tall guy!!!

Frankie was even on the sopranos as rusty

Frankie sounds like he's even rapping a little bit Those guys had a long running broadway show depicting their lives and career called "Jersey boys".

This came out in the 60s but lets face it, the talent today is almost none existent compared to then. Its why they need to go back 50 or 60 years to cover real music. The 50s-1970s has the best collection of music produced in world history....and thats a fact!

Actually this song was released by the Four Seasons, in 1967, making it only 54 years old.

React to Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin live

I ain't gonna lie, I don't remember ever hearing this song and I grew up during this period listening to everything from the 4 seasons to Chuck Berry to the Beatles to Motown to the Carpenters. We had just so much great music back then. Great music and cool cars. I was a kid but miss that era.

PURE TALENT NO MACHINES TO MAKE YOU TO APPEAR TO HAVE TALENT

You wonder how they sounded so good back then? Just pure God given talent. They didn't need a bunch of artificial stuff to make them sound good.

so many great groundbreaking songs

The song was first record by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in 1967.

So glad you found this was the original 💛

December 1963 is well worth checking out.

Yeah! Great reaction! Been hoping for this reaction! Actually 1967, but it's all good. So you guys get it. Thank you. Image your 17 when this came out, and a fan. Yeah! Heard the cover and it's good as you say. The flip side of "Beggin'" is a tune called "Dody". More sort of experimental stuff from my boys. Thanks again!

You both always put what we all like GOOD MUSIC 🎶 Thank You 🙏🏼 keep it going ! 🙏🏼♥️🇺🇸🙌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I still got this on vinyl great track to dance in late 60s 🎶👍

Your faces were a picture ...I never knew this either till a couple of years ago .

My absolute favorite song

Hands down the best reactions in any reaction video I have seen. You’re too funny!!!

Big Girls Don't Cry should be your NEXT song by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

I like the Madcon version, too. Fun video.

frankie was special.. he had the x faxtor.. great music & a great era..

Original is always best !!!

They brought out a 40 greatest hits on vinyl in the 70's 2 disc set, I have 2 copies of it as I play it all the time, you must react to "who loves you" the video to it is them recording in a studio ❤️❤️❤️

True talent always beats technology.

Sounds so good because the artist had pure talent!!!

I adore Queen and this is the only song that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Bohemian Rhapsody as the best song ever.

Yes, those are THE guys but YOU guys are so fun to watch.

Frankie is very talented. He had a 8 octave voice.

wow I just heard this great song, there are so many great songs that I haven't heard

Love the reaction. I love when my kids react to songs they love and i know all the lyrics and have to break the bad news...its not ne sorry. Got them goo with this and Sound of silence, and quite a few others..good times

It's called TALENT guys

❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ With love to you both, always, ~ Laura💞

It was in the 6o's, back then it was pure talent you had to have it or no go.

Yep, that's indeed our friend, the Mayor of Munchkinland over there ... They also sang the original version of Lauryn Hill's Can't Take My Eyes Off You, btw

You’ve got to react to The Night by these guys..it will blow you away!!

I love Frankie Valli

Why are they so surprised? And it was in 1967, dude. My gen's music ROCKED!

Pretty sure beggin was 1967 ? ❤️❤️❤️ 10/10

The BEST version EVER!!!! Xxx

They have talent

My favorite Frankie song ever……

You REALLY need to watch the movie Jersey Boys. It is all about how Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons came together. You will love it!

Bobby Helms..MY Special Angel...u will love it

This is the ORIGINAL others can try to duplicate at but others can never out do the ORIGINAL, never no matter how much others try

Artists today do not have the talent like the original artists. Now they need everything enhanced and computerized. The originals merely had their raw talent

YES! These Are the guys, lol

I didn’t know it was Frankie valli until 10 minutes prior to watching your video ……I was shocked as you guys and felt almost emotionally violated lolll

7:15 Thanks so much for the compliment.😁

I had never heard their version. This is good. Thanks for the musical education. 👍😁

YES! Even though they did not write this song, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, first recorded and released it back in '67 and when I was a little 6yr old for Xmas got my first stereo and one of the first tunes I heard coming over the airwaves was this one. And until Madcon's upgraded cover in 2007, all the 20-30 or so covers of this song were just AWFUL!!! Then a'course we get Maneskin's rendition, and they clearly made it their own and I am SO frikkin' happy about that! Thanks for doing this original? I really appreciate it, after my first listen 45 years ago. 🙂 Now , when Maneskin we're on the 2017 X Factor Italia show their judge handed them this song to do a cover since they began the contest with one of their originals, Chosen. The judge wanted them to take a song not theirs and make it their own and even though they did listen to the original by Frankie Valli they chose to use the Madcon cover of Beggin' from around '07, which is how Maneskin got the rap part into their version. Here's the link from the Madcon song. Y'all should react to that too please? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zrFI2gJSuwA.html Rock on, Aszneth 😀🤘

Big On The Northern Scene!✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Back in the day when my friends and I were breakin' this song was soooo much fun to dance to.. the drums are stellar!

hey shawn and mel just you know today is may 3th which is frankie valli birthday so happy birthday frankie valli

Correction The Four Seasons was a 60's group not 50's. The song Beggin was written by Bob Gaudio and Peggy Farina for The Four Seasons released in 1967. They were on top the music scene in their day, a great band with good writers.

Frankie Valli The 4 seasons! Try Rag doll? The sound of Philadelphia. So many hits!🤠🇺🇸✌️🐎🥞
