The Hit may have been 1964 but this video clip is later than that, say 1966 ? Why – Because that’s Joe Long (who joined the Seasons circa 1965/66) playing bass guitar and not Nick Massi who played on the original hit recording of Rag Doll.

One of the best songs they ever recorded. They had perfected the use of Frankie Valli’s falsetto by this point. The backup harmonies on this record were extraordinary. I remember reading a review of JB’s where the critic talked about the lyrics of Rag Doll being words you might say to your kids. “I’d change her sad rags into glad rags if I could.” Bob Gaudio knocked it out of the park on this one. Thanks for remembering a tremendous recording from back in the day.

They sure sound good, don’t they.
