Four Seasons - Working My Way Back To You Babe [Very Good(+) quality]

[mangazo15]

where the f is the drummer! It's the second best part about the song aside from his vocals!!!!! >:(

[margolou2010]

Frankie Valli's so cute in this ... love the song and love watching them perform. Also love the later cover done about ten years after this, by The Spinners.

[kimtillyj]

Dont think the fellows at Motown could be called 'chumps', just that great music can never die! This is awesome.

[OCF2]

jsbach15 if you mean this clip Bob Gaudio is playing the piano, it was after 1965 because Joe Long has replaced Nick Massi. It was Nick that sang deep base.

[jsbach15]

Bob Gaudio, is not in the group; must be after 1971? Miss Bob's lower register on this song, but it's still terrific!

[notso1973]

@jsbach15 Not sure what you're talking about, that's Bob playing the keyboard. Post Nick Massi with Joe Long on the base but before Bob and Tommy left.

[jsbach15]

@jsbach15 Sorry, I was thinking Nick Massi, but wrote Bob's name instead!

[fg6971]

poor frankie got wacked by the sopranos.

[iamkylie21123]

Listening to these kinds of songs remind me of my grandad. It will be 6 years tomorrow, I miss him so much. Love you grandad!

[MrRickster271]

Um, this was original..................not stolen. As Frankie got older. MOTOWN chumps stole his music

[WackoJacko720]

who dislike this? this is a great song!

[broadcastingurself]

This is pure live music it takes me away & makes me think of what life was like back then.

[TheAlinaLopez]

This song could be remade. The original is always good. :)

[TheLanard]

He sounds better live than on the record.

[BB45s]

Classic Four Seasons sound!

[Snowcat77777]

Working my way back to YOU! Ooooohhh! I love this song by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. i love the way it sounds with them.

[Flyback50]

How I miss the days when music was simple but so good. All the songs today are nothing but a flash in the pan in popularity. This stuff is never dying.

[AyssFayceexDD]

I LOVE THIS SONG VERY MUCH IT IS IN MY HEART THATS HOW MUCH I LOVE IT AND I DONT CARE WHAT NOBODY SAIDS ABOUT ME OR THAM

[OCF2]

The organ player is Bob Gaudio, a musical genius. There are several interviews with him about Jersey Boys if you want to see what he looks like today. He wrote a lot of their big hits.

[ShaneIrwinPhoto]

Another "live" fade out? haha Im a musician, and we never fade out live. Nobody does. It means lip sync.

[TexasTina]

@ShaneIrwinPhoto I have to disagree and vote for live vocal over recorded track. 

[marseillelangres]

Is that organ player a hunk or what? He is so damn cute.

[universalself]

frankie looks like joe pesci here

[JClarkster42]

2 people couldn't work their way back.

[songsamsung]

Hi SPG , every time I think I've checked out every single one of your videos I stumble upon another gem that I haven't seen before. I really like your comment about pop music being so simple, but so hard to get right. All my life I've been trying to make that same point to so many deaf people..Ha ha!

[heytheredenorah]

was he singing this live? I rarely see older songs performed live, but the vocals aren't directly on point with the actual recording (still excellent though) It still sounds almost too good to be live though and the guitars don't look like they're plugged in, haha

[SixtiesPopGold]

@heytheredenorah This is from "Hullabaloo". In that show it was quite common to use live vocals "over a playback instrumental background".

[TheLanard]

@heytheredenorah This is definitely live, and very good.

[Azishome]

@heytheredenorah In those days, it was very common for singers, whether solo or groups, to lip synch the lyrics. One reason was because the audiences virtually demanded the same arrangement and sound of the hit recording. Another reason was because the sound qualities produced in television broadcasting was pretty inferior. You hear the quality here is very poor.

[SixtiesPopGold]

@Azishome The original color episode hasn't survived, so this is a b/w kinescope (with a more grainy picture) with inferior audio, too.

[suzij756]

@heytheredenorah Even live telecasts these days can have some vid & sound discrepancies. Watched our Carols in the Domain (Sydney) 17/12/2011, and they had some sync probs.

[margolou2010]

@heytheredenorah Although I listened to it a couple of times and in the original studio recording after he sang "I let it get away" didn't at one point the bass singer sing "I'm payin' everyday" ? Sounds like Frankie sang it every time.

[ItachiUchiha200871]

out of curiousity, but did they have wireless electric guitars and wireless electric basses back when this was filmed?

[dateat3]

Re: Colour Copy - It wasn't a matter of "saving the tape" - there was no vidio tape recorded - as there was no video tape. TV shows were "live" - and the Kine was the only "copy" (if one would call it a copy). It was the black & white shot off of the monitor of the "feed".

[SixtiesPopGold]

@dateat3 Well, how come that three of the original color episodes still excist with perfect quality?

[Ultranothing]

@dateat3 Yes, dateat3....

Care to enlighten us as to "how come that" three of the original episodes still "excist"? With perfect quality?

We've only been waiting seven months for your response. We expect that your response will be awesome, considering all the time you've been afforded to formulate it.

Tick tock, tick tock! Out with it now! How come that three of them still excist with perfect quality, DATEAT3! Give us a "Re:," and be sure to put a fancy and unnecessary "U" in color.

[alwaysstrapped]

I wonder why this doesn't appear here in color. I know it was broadcast in color because I distinctly remember watching this episode of Hullaballoo only a day or two after we got our first color TV set, and I was so impressed by the matching bright blue velour pullovers worn by Frankie and the boys. Hey, those kind of things stick with you when you're a kid watching color TV for the first time!

[SixtiesPopGold]

@alwaysstrapped Someone at NBC decided in the 70s that the original color episodes were taking up to much space in the storage room and had them thrown away. Only 3 of the color episodes have survived. The b/w copies are also kinescopes, which means that quality is inferior.

[JSGKB24]

@SixtiesPopGold that guy must have been a dumbass lol.

[alwaysstrapped]

@SixtiesPopGold Thanks! After I submitted by comment, I thought about it, and I figured it must have had something to do with that sort of thing -- short-sightedness. At least it confirms that it wasn't my imagination. ;-) Thanks again!

[Kittielips]

[SuperVanillaa]

i love thiss song so much

[rednova55]

This is the epitome of Italian genius and civilization. A true masterpiece!!!!!!!

[pvtpstr]

@rednova55 - agree! we're so fortunate to enjoy so many "ethnic" influences in this country. where would pop music be without the passion of so many so-called minorities?

[rednova55]

@pvtpstr YOU ARE SO RIGHT, SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!

[EnterHisRest1]

THINKING G4 - SORRY BABE- FORGIVE ME- WORKING MY WAY BACK TO MY G3

[normvb]

That's a very difficult song to sing - what a range (and I'm not just talking about his falsetto). Wow.
