Nice work Christopher! As a NJ guy who came of age in the 60s I was a big fan of the Platters and, especially, the Four Seasons, who made a huge impression on me (at 10!) with “Sherry” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” Their first LP was MY first LP purchase (along with Leslie Gore’s debut LP “I’ll Cry If I Want To” – a riposte to “Big Girls Don’t Cry”? I was sure of it at the time). It wasn’t till college when, as a member of a close-harmony acapella group, I began to trace the lineage back to some of the artists and songs you reference. So much there to love!
Thank you so much Charles, and thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I love to learn about what music has left an impact on people's lives. I'm thrilled to learn you sang in an acapella group, so cool!
