I was twelve years old when this song came out and my father listened the radio so I wasn't surprised he liked it but I was amazed when my mother said she liked it. I knew they must be something special if she, the true fan of Lawrence Welk, actually liked the Four Seasons!
I like classic music because what it is, it will always be. Todays shit can be shit, the classics will always be classic, and nothing will ever change that.
Yes, this song is awesome. But good God, the whole "No good music has been made since [insert year you stopped bothering to seek out good new music here]" attitude is so pathetic. There is a ton of amazing music being made now by creative, diverse, and honest musicians. If you just can't be bothered to check out what's being recorded beyond the commercially spoon-fed dreck that rules pop culture, at least take the "damn kids with their baggy pants and their rap music" schtick somewhere else.
@nokindadancer Why should one have to "seek out" good music when there was a day all you had to do was turn on your radio and you could hear it all day long?
@Nocaro One doesn't "have" to do anything. If you're happy to listen to the same handful of Golden Oldies all the time, be my guest. But make no mistake, music's transition from radio/TV to internet is a wonderful thing, as it allows for a much greater variety of musicians to get their work out there without having to placate some bottom-line obsessed executive who wants to wring every available dollar out of some arbitrarily-chosen hit single.
@nokindadancer LOL, well it's a little more than a "handful", that is, if you think literally thousands of recordings are only a handful, and I wish I could post the "thousands" I'd like to post but cannot at present for copyright issues. The point being that the art of "songwriting" containing original, distinctive melodies has been pretty much lost in the past 30 years or so and I see little indication that it will be recovered in my lifetime.
@Nocaro Yes, "a handful" was a rhetorical understatement. "the art of "songwriting" containing original, distinctive melodies has been pretty much lost in the past 30 years or so..." That is rank nonsense. Originality has clearly increased, not decreased since the era of radio-oriented rock. Check out Bon Iver, The Antlers, Other Lives, Florence & The Machine, Innocence Mission, Okkervill River (they have a Beach Boys cover!), Interpol, Explosions in the Sky, A.A. Bondy, Timber Timbre...
@nokindadancer You are entitled to your opinion, but I'm speaking of SONGWRITING, not singing, and, believe me little of the work which you think is so great will ever be compared to that composed by people like George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart or Oscar Hammerstein II, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Henry Mancini, Bacharach and David or even Lennon and McCartney, and all of the rest from the greatest era of popular songwriting known to man.
@Nocaro Again, you are stuck in the past. You list some wonderfully talented songwriters, many of whom the artists I've listed are somewhat indebted to. But then you belittle thousands of talented songwriters who (gasp!) were born after 1947. And below you say that you have no interest in hearing them. Yet somehow, you intuitively KNOW that they are inferior to the songwriters you canonize here. It's no different from the crusty folks who said Elvis was a hack because he wasn't Sinatra.
@nokindadancer I'm not necessarily "stuck in the past" but that is where the music is, not me! Once again you speak of singers, like Sinatra and Elvis, who although amazing vocalists both, were NOT SONGWRITERS. If I intuitively know it, it's only because if the music were as great as you think it is, it would become so well known one would not have to "dig" to find it. As I said you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I am to mine.
@Nocaro Yes, but I don't see the need to suddenly start distinguishing songwriter from performer. The important thing is the value of the final product. "Elvis" is shorthand for the songs he recorded. Likewise, all of the artists (yes, artists) I listed earlier write their own material. I implore you to listen to "Black Tables" by Other Lives, just as one of many many good examples, and tell me it's not melodic as all get out.
@Nocaro As for having to dig, that's the nature of music distribution now, not the music itself. The internet has changed the face of how music is distributed, and greatly contributed to its diversity.
Yes, we're entitled to our opinions, I just wish someone who loves music as much as you clearly do could be open to the vast world of modern music. Nonetheless, thanks for an interesting and non-hostile conversation.
@Nocaro OH BOO HOO My OPINION ISN:T BEING CONSIDEReD wtf you have NOTHING BETTER TO DO than argue with a stranger????? YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED IN THIS ARGUMENT also the same goes for the other douchebag
@terroneonline Oh no! Two music fans from different generations having a discussion about music! I'd better tell them how stupid that is while intermittently hitting caps lock!
@Nocaro ...Arcade Fire, The National, M. Ward, Ryan Adams, This Will Destroy You, Band of Horses, Devendra Banhart, Coco Rosie, The Low Anthem. All vastly different. All put out a record in the last year or two. All capable of crafting songs that depart from I-iv-IV-V or I-V-vi-IV.
@Nocaro But whether or not anyone avails him or herself of the plethora of good music being made now is unimportant. But it's incredibly ignorant to just tar all contemporary music as "Not even sounding like music" simply because a) You think it's nothing but Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, b) It's not spoon-fed to you by some payola-fattened radio station, and c) It doesn't correspond to your nostalgic high school years.
@nokindadancer Well, I didn't start high school until 1964 which means that more than half of the over 1800 songs I have posted to YouTube were recorded prior (and many well prior) to that year and many well before I was even born. And even many of the ones I have posted recorded after 1964 were written well before that time. It's not the "voices" of today to which I object and have no interest in hearing, it's the forgettable MUSIC which, for the most part, lacks melody.
@Nocaro While I should thank you for posting 1800 songs (!!!) on youtube, many of which I've probably watched/listened to, your prejudice against contemporary music is a real shame. The claim that it "lacks melody" shows breathtaking lack of understanding of what melody actually means. Either that or you've only listened to contemporary groups that sing and play in total monotone.
@nokindadancer Remove the lyrics and, of course, the vocal and see if what you have left is something that you could "hum" in a manner in which someone could easily recognize what it was. Another way of looking at it is imagine a symphony orchestra playing nothing but the MUSIC! That doesn't mean I have heard every song written since 1980, but, for the most part I have heard very little which would melodically compare to that written prior to that time.
the best tunes today are 30 or 60 seconds long and are embedded in tv ads. Like this music past, tv jingles are memorable and offer melodies that are easy to remember and sing along with. The talent gravitates to commercial opportunity because the money is good and predictable if your good at what is needed, and the work is neat and tidy no messy bars, concerts, and lugging equipment around 3 or 4 nights a week.
I'm 19 years old and I'm listening to this for one good reason...this is music. Real music, non of the so called attempt of music we have nowadays. Love this music <3
I was about 8 years old, riding in the back of our '65 Ford Station wagon as Mom drove on that Saturday morning to do Grocery shopping at A&P. As this song played on CKLW, I remember looking out the window at a world that seemed so much more tranquil, so much more gentle than the chaos that parades around in this God forsaken age. Mothers holding their kids by the hand as they crossed streets doing their downtown Saturday shopping. Kids lined up at the Fountain Street Theater for a movie.
@jeff62rey how old are you now? 13? i wouldnt say there was anything godforsaken about an age where we have vaccine's for diseases you never new existed, where beautiful music like this can be shared throughout the world with people from different musical backgrounds over the internet, and cars get better mileage than 10miles to the gallon. u remember vietnam? your age was just as chaotic as ours, if not more.
@jeff62rey What you're talking about here is just nostalgia. The era of your childhood was no more tranquil or gentle than the era of my childhood during the early 1990s. The only reason the world feels safer when you're small is because your parents shield you from the true reality. It's only when you're old enough to read a newspaper or watch late night television that you discover the world for what it really is. Nostalgia is a great thing, but lets not use it to whitewash history.
@jeff62rey 1965: only 1 year after the murder of Kitty Genovese and less than 5 years away from the My Lai Massacre and the Manson Family killings. J.F. Kennedy was assassinated in 63, his brother Robert was assassinated in 68; Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered the same year. The 60s also had The Boston Strangler, The Zodiac Killer, The Cincinnati Strangler and The Freeway Killer. The 60s may have been a time of conservative values, but let's not pretend the past was some utopia.
My grandpa and I were singing this type of music, and he was talking about when he went to a retirement home and sang and everyone was mouthing the words. Then I leaned into my brother and whispered, no one is ganna be to singing "Party Rockers in the house tonight" when we are old. lol (dont get me wrong I love Party Rockers)
God dammit you stupid pricks; the quality of music has gone nowhere. Just because what is popular sucks doesn't mean all music being made now sucks. If you have half a brain you could find the "quality" music being made today.
@xxpeniskingxx LOL, why should one have to "look" for it when there was a day all you had to do was turn on your radio and it was there just about every minute?
@xxpeniskingxx You seem like a really smart person—how 'bout if you give the rest of us just one little clue as to this "quality music being made today.", . . .
i dunno why on every 50s or 60s video theres little kids complaining about music these days. the music these days is fine. some of it sucks but who cares. not every song made in this time was great. just like music these days. just appreciate the stuff we hae now. no one gives a shit how old you are
@stdfreesteve Hate to admit what you say is true. There were plenty of sucky songs then as now.
It isn't that today's SONGS suck. It's the wankers that over-produce and auto-tune the performers til they bleed that's killing much of today's music. There are a lot of great current songs that would benefit from recording all the performers in the same take, instead of the individual parts being laid down track by track to a metronome beat.
@stdfreesteve Yah every era has it's great songs, but I do believe that the 50's and 60's especially had some incredible music, more so that years after
@stdfreesteve There is absolutely a reason why "little kids" complain about the today's music. If you haven't noticed, present day music consists only of sex, drugs, and money. This is what we're passing down to children. Any decent person would agree that they would rather their kids listen to oldies music where the topics were appropriate versus todays music of sex, drugs, and violence. You are sadly mistaken if you think today's music is the same as the 50's and 60's.
My biggest beef with a lot of music out today is that many singers don't even sing very well. So many popular artists today are auto tuned. There was also a bit less focus on looks in terms of who was popular in the past. Nowadays, if you are attractive and have a mediocre voice you can be a star.
memories. sock hop. at a local church school gym. all the girls on one side and the boys on the other side. the boys walking across the room to be rejected lor accepted. very scary but fun
@frednickertx Well, "Jackie Baby" happens to be 4 syllables so that wouldn't work and the word "Jackie" by itself doesn't lend itself to vocal intonations as well as the word "Sherry". Hope that explains it.
@nimaside I have searched and searched for this capability and cannot find it...do you know where I can find this editing capability to see how it is checked?
@nimaside "Sherry" is now available. I would have thought that YouTube would have defaulted that to "available", but obviously they did not. Now I have over 1,800 edits in front of me. Wow, lol, thanks.
OH What a summer of 1962, I had just moved to Louisville Ky was 15 then and we danced everywhere and all summer long !! I am now 65 with 18 grandchildren !! We went to see the Jersey Boys !! Great show. please let them come back again to Louisville. I would go again in a heartbeat. Frankie thanks for all the memories of the early 60's !!!
I remember the good ol days seeing these wonderful guys at Steel Pier in Atlantic City, NJ...I even got to have lunch with them in their dressing room,,,,,,,,,,,got em hoagies....
@niterider460 Me too, in the earlier days bands didnt have to be built they had to be good on their own. There were some that were built, like the Monkeys, But all of Frankie's music is good.
@niterider460 Lol i feel you! i;m 29 all these classics are way b4 my time but i'm glad i have not been poisoned by some of that crap on the radio yeah crap thats whatits called because some of that is so not Music!
Remember listening to this song at night out of a station in Chicago ... this was with me in North Carolina. Great song ... brings back a lot of memories.
My name is Sherry. I was really shy in high school & some of the guys in my class used to sing this song to me when I entered the classroom & make me blush. I still love it though, it always makes me smile!
Just one of those memories that remind me of how foolish I was in the 60's. Should have invested, Great songs and the meadure of the times. I was there!
When "December '63 (Oh What A Night)" and "Sherry" were up in "Jersey Boys," I couldn't not sing along to them. It was great and I loved it (but it was not on a December night when I saw it- it was an August night).
I started listening to pop music when I was 10 years old, in 1962, and this song was my favorite song! The 4 Seasons were always one of my favorite groups. The thrill ain't gone yet!!!
I just found out that this possibly ISN'T the original stereo which on the original stereo Vee-Jay 4 Seasons lp has Frankie's voice double-tracked but split between the left and right channels of the stereo spectrum rather than all in one channel with the other members of the group.
My brother had a girlfriend at the time, you guessed it, named Sherry, so when this song came out I had to hear it all hours of the day & night! She later broke up with him and I don't think he has listened to it since. Thanks Nocaro!
taking me right back to my teens,memories of a great time,best ever music.

Jackie isn't a two syllable name? Gee...all this time speaking English has been wasted...
frednickertx 1 month ago
@frednickertx Well, "Jackie Baby" happens to be 4 syllables so that wouldn't work and the word "Jackie" by itself doesn't lend itself to vocal intonations as well as the word "Sherry". Hope that explains it.

@Nocaro How many syllables is "Sherry Baby"?

@ILike2EatGoobers The way Frankie Valli sings it you would think it's five when it's only four.

@nimaside "Sherry" is now available. I would have thought that YouTube would have defaulted that to "available", but obviously they did not. Now I have over 1,800 edits in front of me. Wow, lol, thanks.

When "December '63 (Oh What A Night)" and "Sherry" were up in "Jersey Boys," I couldn't not sing along to them. It was great and I loved it (but it was not on a December night when I saw it- it was an August night).

I just found out that this possibly ISN'T the original stereo which on the original stereo Vee-Jay 4 Seasons lp has Frankie's voice double-tracked but split between the left and right channels of the stereo spectrum rather than all in one channel with the other members of the group.

My brother had a girlfriend at the time, you guessed it, named Sherry, so when this song came out I had to hear it all hours of the day & night! She later broke up with him and I don't think he has listened to it since. Thanks Nocaro!
