Oh my gosh, Betty - "Transistor Sister" by Freddy "Boom-Boom" Cannon!!! One of the lesser songs by one of the lesser, albeit influential, figures in early '60's American rock'n'roll!! Why I haven't thought about him since, oh, three weeks before your post, when his "Tallahassee Massi" appeared on a Top Ten list [insert shameless act of self-promotion here] of oldies the early Four Seasons didn't cover...the stars must be in alignment! PS What's on the flip side?

Belated birthday greetings, Bob, from your relatives in Newfoundland, Canada. I think I’ll go now and play the old 45 of “Transistor Sister” that your parents gave me back in the 60′s(?) when visiting St.John’s.

Dear Mr. Crewe,

Besides your outstanding work with Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons, which I am simply enthralled with, I also enjoyed your creative relationships with Lesley Gore and Oliver in the late ’60′s as well as your earlier partnership with Frank Slay. It’s so nice that the success of “Jersey Boys” has immortalized you and brought you into the consciousness of today’s audiences.

A happy, happy 76th birthday to you and all the best wishes.
