But in 1975, the legendary group almost had a lead singer switch for one of their biggest songs. As the Four Seasons struggled for a hit, Valli was considering a solo career. That’s when a promising new song came their way—and Valli wanted in.
In an interview with Classic Bands, Ciccone recalled that the plan was to give Valli a solo career and record the Four Seasons as its own entity, à la Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Ciccone revealed that the group initially recorded the background vocals but not the lead vocals because Valli wasn’t available.
Valli reportedly told Gaudio he wouldn’t “have the time” to learn the song until he came back to the United States, but Warner Bros, pushed for the recording.
Once Valli got wind of the situation, he was not happy.
Gaudio had Valli’s voice in mind when he wrote “Who Loves You.”
“Who Loves You” ultimately became a massive hit and marked a chart comeback for the Four Seasons, paving the way for their biggest hit, "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)."
