Who was Frankie Valli?
Francis Castellucio, better known as Frankie Valli, was born in 1937 in Newark, New Jersey. He expressed an early interest in music, and his mother encouraged him to pursue it. Every week, she would take him to hear big bands play at the Paramount Theater in New York City or at the local Adams Theater. However, Valli taught himself to sing with the help of his favorite genre, jazz. At seven years old, a Frank Sinatra performance inspired Valli to go after a music career. His unique falsetto vocals would always allow him to stand out in the music world.
