This Day in Rock History - Nov. 17th
1942: Happy Birthday to Bob Gaudio. Gaudio got his start as a member of the Royal Teens, co-writing their one and only hit, “Short Shorts.” He left that band and formed a partnership with a young Frankie Valli, the duo becoming half of the legendary Four Seasons. Gaudio teamed with the Seasons’ producer Bob Crewe to pen most of the group’s big hits, right up through “Who Loves You” and “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night).” Guadio turns 83 today.
1962: On this same day, Gaudio’s song “Big Girls Don’t Cry” hits # 1 for the Four Seasons.
