Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the pop landscape shifted radically around them, this collection demonstrates the legendary vocal group's ability to maintain commercial dominance. Integrating recent hit singles with elaborate, heavily orchestrated production, the record moves definitively away from their doo-wop origins into sophisticated, dramatic pop-soul. Frankie Valli's soaring falsetto remains the anchor amidst the increasingly complex arrangements.
