When this song was released, the Four Seasons’ success had been fading and they had not seen a US top 10 hit since 1967’s ‘C’mon Marianne’. They had been dropped by their record label, Philips and had an unsuccessful time being signed to Motown. In the interim, lead singer, Frankie Valli, had been seeing some solo success, but he wasn’t available when the song was initially recorded and Don Ciccone took on the lead vocals. Their new label, Warner Bros, were so impressed by this that they named Ciccone as the new lead singer of the Four Seasons. Valli was not best pleased and halted the release of the record until he had put down some vocals to retain his position as lead singer. The song would make it to 20 on the Canadian charts, but then a 6 week postal strike meant the charts data is unavailable for a period, so it could well have peaked higher.

Hi. You may be able to help here.
Yesterday I read an article about the film about Rodriguez ‘Sugarman’. I don’t think you do LP’s/albums charts but you may know how much his records actually sold – even before his revival in 2013. His stuff was revived several times .
I attach a copy for you [you may have seen it already].
So I ask- were those un-played records, like the Beatles after Paperback Writer, still in the record shops? Popular records that never featured on the TopTwenty: But figures are available decades later?
I think this area of SABC censorship is interesting
Thanks
I am not sure if there are accurate figures for the sales of Rodriguez’s albums. While airplay was banned for his music, the albums were freely available in the shops, as was a lot of the banned material. However, there were some album where the ban went further and even sales of the record were banned.
Thanks. Did you agree with the article btw?
