Frankie Valli came to fame as lead singer of the Four Seasons in 1962, but interest in the band's story and music are still strong today.

Valli performs Saturday in Cleveland, and Sunday in Columbus at the Palace Theatre. In a conversation with Mike Foley, Valli touches on a number of topics including his voice, his interest in jazz, the song he's most proud of that failed to become a hit in the United States, Jersey Boys and the legacy he hopes his story and music leave behind.
