ON THIS DATE (52 YEARS AGO) January 26, 1963 - The Four Seasons: Walk Like A Man” b/w “Lucky Ladybug” (Vee Jay VJ 485) 45 single is released. Walk Like a Man is a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio and originally recorded by The Four Seasons. The song features the counterpoint of Nick Massis bass voice and the falsetto of lead singer Frankie Valli. It was their third number one hit, initially reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 on March 2, 1963, remaining there for three weeks. During the sessions that produced the hit recording, the fire department received an emergency call from the Abbey Victoria Hotel (the building that housed the Stea-Phillips Recording Studios). As producer Bob Crewe was insisting upon recording the perfect take, smoke and water started to seep into the studio as the group repeated their efforts upon Crewes insistence: the room directly above the studio was on fire, yet Crewe blocked the studio door and continued recording until a few firemen used their axes on it and pulled Crewe out.
