When I was growing up in Newark’s Ironbound section, there was a gang of tough, older teenagers that you avoided, lest you got your ass kicked. Most nights, these same guys would congregate on the corner by Lafayette Street School and sing the doo-wop hits of the time — In the Still of the Night, I Only Have Eyes for You, There’s a Moon Out Tonight and Denise — in perfect harmony. Around that time, up in and around North Newark, a group of guys — Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi — were singing the same tunes, only better, and formed the group that eventually became The Four Seasons.
