The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Frankie Valli
- You can take the guy out of the neighorhood but you can’t take the neighborhood out of the guy.
- Becoming successful is a relentless pursuit. It’s good that it’s 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.
- The ’60s was a magical time in the music business. So much creativity and talent. I think a lot of it came from the fact that we had grown up before rock n’ roll. We listened to all the great songwriters and big bands, songs with great lyrics and melodies. I think that really influenced everybody.
- 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.
- One day, when I was still living at home, a friend told ‘Texas’ Jean Valli about me. She was originally from Syracuse, N.Y., and lived in New Jersey but sang country. One night, she had me come up on stage where she was performing. I sang ‘My Mother’s Eyes,’ and she was knocked out.
- 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, we’d talk on the phone, and if I wasn’t doing anything, I’d 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.
- I thought everybody had falsetto. And since I wasn’t a schooled singer who studied with anybody, I just thought anybody who had a voice could do anything they wanted with their voice.
- My name actually is Francesco Castaluccio.
- In 1967, I found out I was losing my hearing. I went 10 years without any help. I had otosclerosis – hardening of the bone in the middle of the ear.
- I have to believe that most people know that ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You’ is my song. But the reaction we get from the audience at ‘Jersey Boys’ is that they didn’t remember how many hits we had. A lot of ‘Oh yeah, I forgot they did that song.’ We had 20 Top 10 hits in the U.S… people forget.
