On May 3, Valli, known as the frontman of the Four Seasons, turned 91. Incredibly, Valli and the Four Seasons are still touring with shows scheduled on May 9 and 10 at the Hard Rock Casinos in Bristol, Va. and Cincinnati, respectively.
Fans shared their love for Sinatra and Valli on Instagram, with one writing, “Aww what a great picture of you both!!❤️,” while another added, “I grew up with Franki Valli and Four Seasons music. My favorite is December 1963.”
“Beautiful photo as always. Wishing Franki Valli a wonderful special day. Thank u Nancy 4 always remembering your dearest friends. You are definitely one of a kind. Love you🫶🏼🤟🏼💖🎤🎤🎤,” another fan wrote.
Valli was heavily influenced by Nancy Sinatra’s father, Frank. When Valli was just seven, his mother took him to a Frank Sinatra concert at the Paramount Theater in New York City. “I saw Sinatra coming out on stage,” Valli recalled, “and the way he was lit up, it was like he had an aura around him. I decided then and there that’s what I was going to do—be a successful singer.”
More than 80 years later, Valli is still at it and friends and fans like Nancy Sinatra continue to celebrate him.
