Paul Shaffer and his band provided the music at the 1990 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies when the Four Seasons were inducted along with the Four Tops, Simon and Garfunkel, Hank Ballard and so many other great performers and writers like King and Goeffin and Holland Dozier and Holland.

The big radio stations really didn’t stop playing their records until about mid-1968, and that was disturbing to fans as well. There was a lot of good mainstream material out then too, but the psychedelic and protest era is probably what hurt FV4S airplay the most. When the 1970s brought back less serious themes as the Vietnam War ended, the airplay returned.
