Frankie Valli live in Manila

MANILA, Philippines - Frankie Valli performs at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila on Jan. 20. Frankie Valli, who came to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is hotter than ever in the 21st century. Thanks to the success of the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Frankie and his legendary group, such classic songs as Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man, Rag Doll, and Can’t Take My Eyes Off You are all the rage all over again. As the play enters its third sold-out year on Broadway, and two touring companies of Jersey Boys travel around the US, the real Frankie Valli is packing concert halls coast to coast, from the Rose Theater, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, to L.A.’s Kodak Theater, home of the Academy Awards.

Now Frankie salutes the decade that made him a star with his first new studio album in 15 years. In “Romancing The ’60s”, he puts his own stamp on some of his favorite ’60s songs, the ones he always wanted to record but somehow got away such as Spanish Harlem, Call Me and Take Good Care of My Baby. And the album features a delightful guest appearance by the four young stars of Jersey Boys, providing background vocals. Launched with perfect timing amid Jersey Boys-mania, Romancing The ’60s is the most eagerly anticipated album of Frankie Valli’s 54-year recording career.

Frankie Valli performs at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila on Jan. 20.
