Jersey Boys, a musical play and then movie, is based on him and The Four Seasons. I've seen the play twice in Las Vegas and then when the movie came out I took my granddaughter to see it. I also bought the CD, which I used to play a lot when I'd drive to and from California. I love the music and of course I'd be singing along loudly.

I was so happy when I got that book read. My eyes would cross because the print was small. Also, I was very tired of Katie Scarlett O'Hara's shenanigans.
