Bardavon Gala 2006 starring Frankie Valli
& the Four Seasons

You know their hits: "Sherry" "Big Girls Don't Cry" "Walk Like a Man", "Rag Doll", "Ain't That a Shame," "Candy Girl", and "Marlena". With his three-and-half-octave range, a natural baritone that glides effortlessly into a spectacular falsetto, Frankie Valli has sold 100 million records over the course of his career. "You're Gonna Hurt Yourself" "Let's Hang On" "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" "My Eyes Adored You" "Swearin' to God" all played a part in making Frankie Valli a part of our American music lexicon from the 1960s. In 1978, Frankie Valli scored again with the title track, "Grease", from the best selling soundtrack of the popular movie starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. In 1987, "Big Girls Don't Cry" was featured on the tremendously successful Dirty Dancing soundtrack from that movie. Entering the singles chart for a second time after appearing on the 1994 Forrest Gump soundtrack, "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)", it became the longest-charting single in history with 50 total weeks. Frankie Valli and the legendary Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. The Bardavon Gala 2006 promises to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year. As the primary Bardavon benefit performance of the season, the Bardavon acknowledges the generous support of the Presenting Sponsors: Key Bank and Compensation Risk Managers and the James J. McCann Charitable Trust.
