Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons Tribute on Ice - Rag Doll

[nasa439]

we love you Frankie your the best

[Texasjim2007]

When you hear a story like this it sort of makes you wonder what ever happened to the poor girl the song was based on, if she ever really knew the song on the radio was about her, what she spent the money he gave her on...geez this story could make a heck of movie of the week for a cable network wouldn't it?

[bradleyaustinspurlin]

If I were bob gaudio I would have taken her home to have as a child so she could have had a home and something to eat she seems homeless so she might not get to eat much

[maryfaetorry]

@bradleyaustinspurlin she prob had parents and a home and as poor as she might have been she was mabey really loved x

[laybelieve666]

i couldnt think of anything more sensational, than watching franki valli and yuka sato on the same stage.....two incredible talents

[poetrymaster]

i love this song, its my all time favourite, thank you :)

[Sweetman191058]

@Supermassively

Figure skating is great. Yuka Sato and Frankie Vali combine their talents to make a great video.

[lvx861]

A Music Legend and a Glass act. Thanks for posting

[expoeurope]

how old is Frankie now...76..?...WOW....the songs are timeless....Briliant

[Supermassively]

As lame as figure skating is, Frankie Valli songs actually make it tolerable.

[azjeff1971]

This song rocks...91 to nothing...

[jasonwheel]

you kind of get gyped here. he doesn't hit that high note like in the original recording.

[Sweetman191058]

Great video, great song, great skating.. Sheer beauty all around.

[Sweetman191058]

Great video, great song, great skating, sheer beauty all around.

[lvx861]

A true amaerican Classic. They just dont sing like this anymore!!!!

[jbyesterday]

It's not the "pure" sound I've had embedded in my brain (which of course comes from listening to the original recording all these decades), but wow....Frankie still is as smooth as silk, & I admit, the background vocals captured the richness of the beautiful close harmonies that for me, is the essence that makes a classic like this complete. The parts where they(b/u vocals) sing "hand me down...." & on. .... "sad rag doll.....if could...."

....truly......golden oldies...thanks for posting.

[Veggieman87]

I love how Frankie Valli still sings these songs. His voice may not be able to reach its soaring heights anymore, but the way he changes the key keeps it amazing.

[MissLizaMay]

This was always my favorite song by the Four Seasons - so cool to learn the story behind it. Thanks for sharing!

[pammymoe]

I have loved Frankie since I was 8 years old and still do at 56. Thankyou Frankie for everything!

[kcngwm]

I think thats my most favorite song they sang...I have seen the Jersey Boys in New York.... and had the great oppertunity to see Frankie Valli this summer here in Kansas Ctiy---and he is still going at 76----thats talent--sing it man!!!!!!!

[smokelean]

my favorite 4 seasons song and the phenomenal yuka sato

[RBBako]

I used to play this song inside our car when all our 4 wonderful kids were growing up in Saudi Arabia. I didn;t know then how this song was written until I stumbled into this YouTube version of "Rag Doll". Yuka Sato's terrific performance on the ice really brought more life to this song!

Whenever I come to a stop in any of the traffic lights in Manila, this song always comes into my mind. I don't believe in handouts, however, I do believe in helping the needy...

[sangell3]

What a glorious majestic song. Bob Gaudio bounced around trying to get this song. Dawn, Walk Like A Man, etc. were just failed attempts to reach this crescendo of sorrow and joy.

[dcwvaca]

Truly marvelous! Thank you, Bob Gaudio, and thank you, Frankie Valli. And Yuka Sato, beautiful and fluid on the ice! Thank you, Yuka. I listened to Rag Doll as a teenager, and now I'm considerably older than that and that song still gets me. Again, thanks to all who made this possible.

[kpdave]

I don't know about anybody else but this song always leaves a lump in my throat when hearing it. Can't understand just why it does but I love it just the same!!

[jers14m]

This is fantastic. Thank-you for posting. Isn't it wonderful to hear something from long ago.

[sanfranciscobay]

What's the name of the jumping twist she does shortly after 3:44?

It occurs at three mins, fourty six seconds.

[sanfranciscobay]

I like the jump she does shortly after 2:48. What's it called?

[sanfranciscobay]

Would like to see Ballroom Dancers Couples or Rhythmic Gymnasts do routines to this music.

His music is so smooth, polished and harmonious.

[flsunshine22]

Love Frankie !!!

[blackspeed3]

wow. frankie still goin strong. Love the original 4 seasons and this version has great harmony as well. Plus a amazing show with a beautiful skater. Very well done.

[zzzippo55]

loved in in 64 i love it now.

[Abbotts99]

Excellent!

[lvx861]

I have spent alot of time with Frankie Valli. He is a class act, a true gentlemen and always accessible to fans. Some of his former band members were not the most motivated people in the world to say the least!

[sigmondtheseamonster]

Are those the Osmonds ????

[bigbluemsp]

Great Talented man Frankie was/is but off stage is the biggest arrogant ahole you'd never want to meet.

[jellybean625]

how do you know this??

[bigbluemsp]

Ask some of his former band members, most of them even said he was a cluster of a human with a ego and shitty attitude.

[jellybean625]

and when have you spoken with these former band members?

[Buttrtug94]

they could lose the ice skater.

[annabells]

Personally I think Walk Like A Man is the best Seasons song, but Frankie and these guys did an awesome job here - 40+ years later and sounds so close to the original record, it's amazing. Kudos

[d4seasons]

a pretty song. the skater fits well with the song. red is my color.

[1heavygold]

Torn between dawn, and rag doll for my Valli fav.

[nanodelle]

Frankie and Yuka rock this song! Great backup, too, Frankie. I wanna see "Jersey Boys," but it don't have Frankie, so I'll pass, I think. Thanks, Bob, for writing that song. Brings me back to the beach when I was a lil' kid, and yes, I did wear some hand-me-downs (didn't we all?).

[Sandovalnet]

I love this music,but the better is Yuka Sato....I 'm lover !!!!!!!!

[Julian7507]

This is the best song by The Four Seasons This is great inlcuding the skater which gives something more to this performance

[gruss1955]

Magnificent performance, that's all I can say

[MetallicasGirl4Eva]

Love it......

[mysterytrax]

Just can't say enough praises for this current lineup of background singers and musicians that perform these classic

4 Seasons hits to the tee. And of course Mr. Frankie V. sounds pretty damn good too, after all of these years. He and those original Jersey Boys gave us so much great music .

Thanks skarid for all these fine posts.

[Julian7507]

What a song... I love the awesome chorus in the original version...

[mark1460]

this has got to be one of the most remarkable records i have ever seen or heard, not because of frankie, but the gifted singing, musical composition, the coriography from the band members, and the special skating from Yuka Sato, you are watching true Magic !!

[TamaOwnage]

ummm if you guys think hes lost it and hes not hitting the high notes he is. Also go watch sherry from this concert.. idiots thanks and let me know when you see him live cause when you do you will appreciate him. Stop talking shit you cant sing for your life.. thanks

[akytilop]

He is great as a singer and I have most of the Seasons music. However, Frankie Valli is a loser as a father. He's been married and divorced three times with his children always sitting and waiting at home for him to show up.

[mvann5566]

crikey my miss letter mistakes...what the heck ...at least ive got good listening.thanks

[mvann5566]

hey allumst get beck to your will young etc and save space for the gifed whom are not tone deaf...frankie never had to scream and shout coz hes got a soulful voice...he may of mellowed his tone a bit but 75 and still a legend...and this is LIVE..who do you listen too?...never mind couldnt put up you going through your spice girl and gareth gate collection.....thanks scar but please organise a kiddie room,cheers mate

[paddybanks]

This Guy what do you say, in my local pub a couple of weeks ago, and this show caught my eye, on sat, Could not hear it, as pub to busy, Thanks. skarld

[Jayme969]

His backup singers hit the highnotes, but he still has a cool distinctive sounding voice. Loved his voice my whole life.

[allumst]

The voice has gone!

[patg316]

For 75, he sounds awesome! He cannot possibly have the voice of his youth, but it's still pretty damn good.

[chicochicocharlie]

Was für Stimmen, ein richtig guter Song und überhaupt : wow !!!

[plazmablast]

This was the only improvement possible for this song. Frankie still has it. Yuka Sato is absolutely beautiful. This is in my favorites.

[GTFanForever]

this was the best show on tv!

[bk5612]

This is really great

[sxitezza]

Frankie Valli still a legend, aah Rag Doll thanks for adding a music legend from a bygone era.. great memories
