Transcript

00:00We're here once again. I am so honored to be here with the one and only Frankie Valli.

00:06Well, we had a great start here anyway.

00:09You tried to prank me and pretend to be someone else.

00:12And let me tell you, I fell for it.

00:15But tell me, now that we can confirm that this is in fact Frankie Valli and you're not messing with me.

00:21Tell me, what is the key to such a successful career?

00:26I just think a lot of hard work and there's really no way to be successful

00:33unless you really make up your mind that you're going to give your heart and soul

00:39to whatever it is that your love or your passion is for.

00:47So it does take a lot of hard work, a lot of heartbreak and a lot of wonderful moments.

00:56You've had plenty of wonderful moments.

00:58Is there a memory when you look back at your decades, decades, decades career

01:03that you look back so fondly and wish you could go back?

01:06I remember the first three records that we put out were all number ones.

01:14And the fourth one went to number three and I thought it was over.

01:19I said, oh my God.

01:21It's like the careers in the bucket.

01:24But, you know, I'm relentless.

01:29When there's something that I want, I just really go for it.

01:34A hundred percent.

01:35And something that's so special about your career specifically

01:38is how many memories that you're tied to and your music is tied to.

01:42My mother used to literally stop me crying by playing Can't Take My Eyes Off of You.

01:48And so it's incredible that you're so ingrained in people's lives.

01:52How does it feel to be able to make music that's so impactful to so many different types of people?

01:58Well, we had the ability to do that because we set it all up in our minds before we even started.

02:08I mean, when I think of it, even for me, it's overwhelming to think about.

02:16There isn't a particular kind of music that we haven't recorded.

02:22So we were not afraid to try new things, hoping that the public would accept it.

02:31Along those same lines, what advice do you have for younger artists now that are just starting their journey?

02:37If this is what they're going to do, they have to get ready to work their butts off right to the very end.

02:48You've got to keep on working.

02:50And look at you, all these years later, such a success.

02:53Thank you again, Frankie Valli.

02:55Thank you for being here.

02:56I am such a big fan.
