Thanks to someone’s greed there is a bit of “clutter,” but you can see the quality was there in the original.
I did a quick Google search, but could not find anything about the girl.
Having grown up in Jersey when the 4 Seasons were extremely popular, I have had enough of them! (I think I made my feelings clear when Stel first posted this). The Four Bassets, on the other hand, will never grow old for me. Those howls, those high pitched howls!!
I was never a huge fan of the Four Hounds, yet this is a GREAT musical!
I remember their rise on the pop scene…though I wasn’t in Jersey, and didn’t see them before their Bandstand days.
At the time, I was just switching my adolescent allegiance from the R&B we loved in the midwest… think the Ronettes and the Crystals…. even the Shangri-las…
to folk, and Bob Dylan… but then came the irresistible English invasion.
…
I wasn’t too enamored of the pups’ slick East Coast look and smooth do-wop sound.
In fact, my sister’s name is Sherry, and I teased her with my horrible imitation of Frankie Tail’s falsetto howl.
Later, I came to appreciate them, as enduring musical icons of the era.
Listening to them now is nostalgic… I like them better than I did in my teens.
…
I see Stel has uploaded a copycat poster for a musical about a human group…
Were they a real group, or just put together to make the play and movie?
Wow…. that’s them, in the first video, singing the human version of “Sherry”, isn’t t?
That guy tries, with the falsetto… butno human could possibly howl like Frankie Tail, right?
And of course, their clothes can’t match the Hounds’ slick, sparkly jackets.
…
And then in the third video… wow… later human guys imitating the human guys who imitated the bassets!

My mother’s cook book.
These are not commercial onion rings from a chain, nor are they, thank goodness, those frozen napkin ring things you buy at the supermarket.
They do taste good ! —
Onion Rings
2 lbs. large Bermuda or Spanish onions
Ice water
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk (whole milk 3.25% milk fat)
1 egg, slightly beaten
flour for dredging
Peel the onions; slice 1/4 inch thick. Separate into rings. Soak in ice water for 2 or more hours. Drain; dry thoroughly.
Mix the next five ingredients to form a batter. Dip rings in flour, then in batter.
Fry in deep hot fat, 370° F. until brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot from cooking at once, or chill and package for freezing.
To serve, crisp the frozen rings in moderate oven, 350° F. 5 to 8 minutes. For crisper rings, pop under broiler for last 2 minutes of warming.
If you don’t have a deep-fat fryer, remember they weren’t invented until long after deep-fat frying became a cooking method.
Buy a candy thermometer, fill a deep sauce pan with enough oil (I use corn oil) to float the rings.
Heat the oil to 370° F. using full burner heat and when it reaches that temperature, turn the burner down to just above 5/8 of the dial (from experience).
Don’t put too many rings in at a time, and use a sieve that will fit the pan as your scoop.

Alexi….you might find this interesting: Sherry (song) – Wikipedia
Short, but informative.
Thanks.

Well, that’s the important thing……that you’re still a fan of The 4 Bassets!!

You didn’t earn a groanie for that;
Oh well, there goes that Diet!

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.
I LOVED Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!
This is one super poster! You can almost hear the howls. Love the sparkly jackets.
