I would flip the radio dial between WLS 890, the Top 40 station, and WYNR 1390, the Rhythm and Blues station, and hear it sometimes twice an hour. It was a huge R & B hit, and Hit #1 Billboard R & B for three weeks.

At that time, I was too young to buy records, but in 1963 and 1964 I tuned my radio back and forth between the Top 40 and R & B stations that played The Four Seasons waiting for new releases. There were a lot of other Frankie Valli and Four Seasons songs that were also played on R & B stations, but for some reason didn’t chart of the Billboard R & B Charts. These included “You’re Ready Now” and “Let’s Hang On”.

Interesting story on Vee-Jay records’ marketing program. Also liked the part about how Bob Gaudio felt it was meant to be when Des McAnuff said Sherry was the first record album he ever bought.
