Frankie Valli Quotes

I always believed a singer should be able to sing any kind of song. If I wanted to sing a Cole Porter song, I should be able to do that. Or Sherry, I should be able to do that. Or a Dylan song Picture Quote #1

Starting in my teens, I was always standing on the corner near our apartment singing harmony with friends. We’d also go to the park and sing under the bridge near the lake for the echo. When it was cold out, we’d stand in the little heated lobby in the project’s administration building, where my mom paid the rent each month Picture Quote #1

I went to school to learn to be a hairdresser. I worked at a wholesale florist, where I delivered to florists all over New Jersey. I’d come home and go out to work down at the Shore. The early jobs, I remember, were $5, $6 a night. And I lived in the projects right until the time I became successful Picture Quote #1

People don’t get married to get divorced. Maybe people weren’t meant to be together forever Picture Quote #1

When we were trying to get ‘Jersey Boys’ off the ground, I’d get, ‘The Four Seasons? Who’s going to care? There’s the Beatles, there’s the Rolling Stones.’ But people know those stories. Here was a story no one knew Picture Quote #1

The very first time I ever heard anything of mine on the radio, I was in New Jersey, and I was in my teens. I did my first record, which was an old standard called ‘My Mother’s Eyes.’ It was the old Georgie Jessel theme. I heard it on local radio out of Newark. And it was very exciting! Picture Quote #1

If I close my eyes, I can remember the first apartment where I lived with my family in Newark, N.J., in the late 1930s. The rooms were lined up like train cars - you had to go through one to get to another - and there wasn’t any heat or hot water Picture Quote #1

I’d seen so many people become stagnant in New Jersey - I had this fear I’d just stay there. They’d come out of high school, get a job, get married, have kids and die in Jersey. I wanted more Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I used to listen to my Emerson radio late at night under the covers. I started by listening to jazz in the late 1940s and then vocal harmony groups like the Four Freshmen, the Modernaires and the Hi-Lo’s. I loved Stan Kenton’s big band - with those dark chords and musicians who could swing cool with individual sounds Picture Quote #1

I do belong to Jersey. There’s no doubt about that in my mind. They have been so loyal and so good to me; how could I possibly belong any place else? Picture Quote #1

At school, I’d sing in groups in the locker room or in the bathroom, which was like an echo chamber. The problem is I didn’t know how to get started singing professionally. The pool hall was my Facebook. I’d hang out there to keep up with what was going on and to let people know where I could be reached if singing jobs came up Picture Quote #1

I cherish the memory of being a friend of Frank Sinatra on a friendship level to the point where we really hung out. We worked in Vegas, wed talk on the phone, and if I wasnt doing anything, Id fly out, and I spent time in Palm Springs at his house - on a level the way friends would be, not with a whole crowd of people Picture Quote #1

At long last love has arrived, and I thank God I’m alive. You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you Picture Quote #1

Jazz was my first love Picture Quote #1

I spent many a summer early morning with the radio very low, half sleeping and half listening Picture Quote #1

I don’t play golf or tennis, I don’t ski, I don’t snowboard. If you love what you do, you never get enough of it Picture Quote #1

Becoming successful is a relentless pursuit. Its good that its that way: When it does come, you learn to know how to appreciate it, and know how lucky you are to be doing something that you love so much Picture Quote #1

It was very important to establish a sound, so that people heard a record on the radio and knew immediately that it was you Picture Quote #1

Pardon the way that I stare, there’s nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak Picture Quote #1

You can take the guy out of the neighborhood but you can’t take the neighborhood out of the guy Picture Quote #1

I’m not doing contemporary songs unless something comes along that really knocks my socks off Picture Quote #1
