Like Mr. Gaudio has said, the Four Seasons had a time in the UK in the 1970s when they were fanatically popular. Two of their songs, “You’re Ready Now” and “The Night”, are on Kev Robert’s “Northern Soul Top 500″ of all time. A third is a cover by The Velours of a virtually identical arrangement of the Petrillo/Cifelli composition “I’m Gonna Change”. The vocals on the cover are different because they didn’t have Frankie Valli’s vocal range to work with.

Another interesting one is Shocking Blue’s cover of “Beggin’” from 1974.
