    About this ebook

    Songwriter/Producer Bob Crewe, who had helped turn the 4 Seasons into superstars, picked up the Four Evers and began molding them into a 4 Seasonish type group.  In fact, they would often work closely with Frankie Valli and members of the 4 Seasons.  They scored only one national hit, "Be My Girl" but it was a doozy!  Read the fascinating story behind this East Coast group.  A list of their records is included in The Four Evers: The 4 Seasons' Connection.

      The Four-Evers: The 4 Seasons’ Connection

      Introduction

      The Four-Evers/4-Evers was a superb white doo-wop vocal group from Brooklyn, New York.  Although one of the best vocal groups during the mid-sixties, the group saw very limited record chart success and was often relegated to providing backup vocals for others. 

      The 4 Seasons, on the other hand, was one of the most successful vocal groups to ever stand behind a microphone. The following dissertation describes how the careers of these two exceptional groups (one immensely popular, the other practically unknown) intertwined. 

      ***

      After a variety of name changes and trivial misses, the 4 Seasons, of Newark, New Jersey, finally struck big with Sherry, in 1962. Similar hit songs composed by 4 Seasons’ keyboardist/vocalist Bob Gaudio followed to the top of the singles charts in quick succession.
