The 4 Seasons Featuring The "Sound" Of Frankie Valli - Opus 17 Dont You Worry Bout Me Beggars Parade

I wonder if the title held the song back from mega-hit status. Even though it was the Four Seasons in their prime, music directors at radio stations and consumers browsing in stores might hesitate (just a bit) to snap up an "Opus".

Just a thought.

Joe Long's last song with the 4 Seasons was "Who Loves You."

The first 4 Seasons recording with Joe Long, who would go on to be the MC in the 4 Seasons live performances in addition to being the bass player and bass singer.

Lyrics:

Oh, I can see there ain’t no room for me
You’re only holding out your heart in sympathy
If there’s another man, then girl, I understand
Go on and take his hand
And don’t you worry ‘bout me

I’ll be blue (Baby blue)
And I’ll be crying, too
(Crying, too, crying, too)
But girl, you know I only want what’s best for you
What good is all my pride
If our true love has died?
Go on and be his bride
And don’t you worry ‘bout me

I’ll be strong, I’ll try to carry on
Although you know it won’t be easy
When you’re gone
I’ll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I’ll get through
So don’t you worry ‘bout me
Ooh, baby

(Baby blue)
(Crying, too, crying, too)
(Baby, worry ‘bout me)

Sweetie pie before you say goodbye
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry
Don’t cry alone in pain
Don’t ever feel ashamed
If you want me again
Just don’t you worry ‘bout me

I love you (Loving you)
No matter what you do
(Loving you, loving you)
I’ll spend my whole life waiting
If you want me to
And if this is goodbye
You know I’d rather die
Than let you see me cry
‘Cause then you’d worry ‘bout me

I’ll be strong, I’ll try to carry on
Although you know it won’t be easy
When you’re gone
I’ll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I’ll get through
So don’t you worry ‘bout me

I’ll be strong, I’ll try to carry on
Although you know it won’t be easy
When you’re gone
I’ll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I’ll get through
So don’t you worry ‘bout me

Oh, I’ll be strong (I’ll be strong)
(I’ll try to carry on)
Although you know won’t be easy
When you’re gone……

Always love hearing this one again!
