Frankie Valli Joins Hit Men on 'Sopranos'
Roses are red, my love
violets are bl-uu-uuu-eee

For the better part of two decades, Frankie Valli rode the pop charts as a hitmaker with such songs as "Sherry," "Walk Like a Man," "Rag Doll" and the theme song from "Grease."


Now, he's joining another brand of hitmakers — as a bad guy on "The Sopranos," hanging out with mob types similar to some he grew up with.


"Coming from Newark, N.J., I've certainly been around a lot of that," Valli said by phone from his home in Southern California. "Growing up pursuing a singing career, all the little bars and clubs were the places where these guys would congregate. In a lot of cases they owned them.

5. That's right. Please never confuse Frankie Valli...
the master of the falsetto and tough-guy front man for the Four Seasons, with that complete douchebag Bobby Vinton. It just ain't right.
