November 17

Happy 80th birthday to The FOUR SEASONS' Bob Gaudio.

Bob was just 15 when he wrote "Short Shorts" with The ROYAL TEENS and went on to become a founding member of The FOUR SEASONS and wrote most of their biggest hits; including "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Rag Doll", "Walk Like A Man" and "Sherry"- which he wrote in just 15 minutes.

One of the biggest bands in America before The BEATLES, The FOUR SEASONS were one of the few artists to continue to have chart success after the British Invasion.

Gene Clark was born November 17, 1944 and died at just 46 years old in 1991. A co-founder of The BYRDS, Gene wrote the lyrics for many of their early songs including the psychadelic "Eight Miles High"








LIGHTHOUSE is one of those bands that you may not recall, but you will remember the song when you hear it. Bob McBride (17 November 1946 - 20 February 1998) sang on their biggest hit "One Fine Morning".
