Happy 50th Anniversary to ‘Walk Like A Man’ by The Four Seasons Topping the Billboard Hot 100 Chart!
March 2nd, 2013Another incredible Four Seasons milestone: Fifty years ago today, on March 2, 1963, The Four Seasons topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the third consecutive time with “Walk Like A Man”! Written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, the song remained in the number one position for three weeks.
Fifty years later, it’s still the best part of my day, playing WLAM on the daily commute and hearing it on my cell phone ringtone!
Please join us celebrating WLAM’s milestone–one of the greatest songs (IMHO) that has EVER been recorded!
Susie, WOW!!!
This is one of my favorites of many. Especially since I love mostly all of there work and know it all as well.
As you can see as far as there dress code they always match each other as I always remember. They had great! style, & taste.
But on t.v. they always performed in suits. There appearance beside there sound meant a lot to them.
Then we have this walk like a man clip where they would all just dress casual. Nice sip up sweaters with turtle necks fabulous. The same would go for them being in concert. I know you were wondering on how they dressed other wise on stage. Again they always matched a very clean,cut look.
This clip is a great example as “The real & true Jersey Boys.
I can honestly say:
What four very good-looking guys they were & still are with such an AWSOME!!!! sound and a lot of talent. I feel so very proud to say that. I know my dad would be so proud. He loved his music and these guys very much. You can even imagine.
Happy 5oth & keep playing on / especially for the new generations to enjoy what I grew up with since I am 10 as a 4 Season daughter the oldest.
Thanks for posting love it.

Wow. 50 years ago. This was the very first song I hear by the Seasons in early 1963.
My older brother would buy me my very first album in June of 1963 for my 12th birthday. That was the “Big Girls Don’t Cry†album which also had “WLAMâ€. I played it forever. Still have it.
My brother gave me some more information about them because we found out that Frankie’s grand parents lived in Dunmore Pa. We grew up in Scranton. Frankie’s mom grew up in Dunmore. My wife and I actually met Frankie’s mom at a party for Frankie back in the late 70’s at the Gardens State Arts Center. After one of Frankie’s first shows when he went solo. She got a kick out of the fact that we had met a number of her relatives from Dunmore over the years.
Went to my first Seasons concert with my brother in 1964. Have been fortunate to have been to dozens of them since 1964, including two with Nick Massi.
Again, 50 years later I still can’t believe that I am still enjoying this Great music…
