"Peanuts" by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons

Led by Frankie Valli and his signature falsetto, the Four Seasons dominated the 60s with an impressive run of hits that included many #1 classics like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Rag Doll." The group would achieve another final #1 in 1976 with "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)," which re-charted to #14 as a dance re-mix in 1994. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are ranked as the 6th most successful artist in the 60s and #35 overall.

Frankie Valli also had a successful solo career that he started in 1965, obtaining more huge hits like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (#2), "My Eyes Adored You" (#1), "Swearin' To God" (#6), and his big comeback hit "Grease" (#1 for two weeks) from the movie of the same name.

Frankie and the boys tried twice to strike gold with their version of Joe Cook's "Peanuts," which Cook took to #22 in 1957 with his outfit, Little Joe & The Thrillers. The Four Seasons versions bubbled under in 1963 and again in 1964, but is included on several of their "hits" compilations.
