The Four Seasons discography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Hiddenstranger (talk | contribs) at 04:58, 1 June 2020 (→US/UK singles discography). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of singles recorded and released by Frankie Valli and/or The 4 Seasons in their various guises since 1953. This list includes only commercially released singles on which Valli or some configuration of the group was credited with performing or producing. Promotional-only releases and extended play records (EPs) are omitted from this list.

Reissued singles and records in which the Four Lovers did only session work (including singles by Danny & the Juniors, Freddy Cannon, and Bobby Darin) are also not included here.

US/UK singles discography

NOTE: Peak chart positions are from the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The UK chart positions of three singles are noted ("You're Ready Now", "Sleeping Man" and "The Night") because of their uniqueness in The 4 Seasons/Frankie Valli history. Their chart positions come from the book Guinness British Hit Singles by Paul Gambaccini, Tim Rice and Jo Rice (sixth edition 1987).
