"C'mon Marianne" #9 7/15/1967

The last Top 10 single from the Four Seasons until 1975. It was written by L. Russell Brown, who also wrote several major hits for Tony Orlando and Dawn in the 70's, such as "Knock Three Times" and "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree." In 1968, the group was booked to christen the Salem-Roanoke Valley Civic Center in Virginia. The politicians spoke, a few local rock bands played, and the Four Seasons showed up...in Salem, WEST Virginia, over 200 miles away. Oops. They rescheduled the show.
