#129 Girl Come Running — Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (1965)


 
The Four Seasons pretty much got lost in the shuffle in 1965, with the continuing dominance of the British Invasion and Motown, not to mention Dylan going electric and James Brown basically inventing funk with “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag”. Perhaps that’s why this one peaked at a modest #30 on the national charts.  I’m not entirely sure why this is my all-time favorite song of theirs; it may be because it was the one in rotation when I first started seriously listening to Top 40 radio.
 
Classic YouTube comment: “Anybody know what note Frankie hits at 1:40?  I can't hear that high.”
