“Big Girls Don’t Cry” #1 11/17/1962

The followup to "Sherry" proved the old adage that if you had a hit, make sure the next record sounds really close to the previous hit. Bob Gaudio of the Four Seasons wrote it with assistance from their producer Bob Crewe. The bass vocals of Nick Massi provided a counterpoint to Frankie Valli's trademark falsetto. This became the group's second #1 in late 1962.
