Casey Chameleon Goes AWOL

It was October 2006 when I launched this blog and started to uncover the past stories of the Four Seasons, and as George Ingram once said “all good things come to an end”.

But after more than 4 years, it is time to move on and so I am passing the blogging role over to Ken Charmer, Lynn Boleyn, Ray Nichol and George Ingram to continue to develop our ‘magazine in cyberspace’ and keep fans entertained and connected. 

I’ll continue to develop my epic story of the Four Seasons …’The Rise and Fall Of The NEW Four Seasons’ and in this my final blog post I am able to include the final 2 Chapters.

• Chapter 10 – The Collapse Of The Fan Clubs
• Chapter 11 – Closure

Which draws the fall of the group to it’s conclusion.

But I hear you say “they never ended”. Yes, even today there is a Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons appearing on stage and we have been entertained very well by the ‘employees’ Bob and Frankie recruited since 1982 to keep his oldies show going. But as far as being an original and creative team - that died when the NEW Four Seasons that we were promised were unceremoniously ‘sacked’.

The full aftermath hasn’t destroyed the music but perhaps diminished its quality since. But that is for you to decide as you read our conclusions.

And to make life easy for readers with their new Kindle’s and I-pads we have gathered the Chapters together in a new web page.

But as I go searching in the Motown vaults to get the unreleased out check out and subscribe to our new blog….’That ‘Four Seasons’ Sound’ and take care….we need you all to survive long enough to hear the rest of the Motown and Philips unreleased come out on CD. Thanks for all your support and comments. Casey Chameleon

PS This blog remains as an archive of our work so revisit any of our past articles and any comments will be passed to the team at ‘That ‘Four Seasons’ Sound’

Don't look now, but, there may be yet another version of "The New Four Seasons" coming.

Frankie's current singers have a video touting them as such.

I think they'll be featured in Valli's upcoming Sinatra tribute cd (if ever/when ever).

Some live shows have included versions ofSinatra's "Witchcraft" and "All Of Me" with the singers providing lush harmonies.
