Founding member of the Four Seasons, the biggest selling US pop group of the early 1960s, whose stories were told in the musical Jersey Boys
As a founding member of the US vocal quartet the Four Seasons, Tommy DeVito, who has died aged 92 of Covid 19, made history by being in the first group to score three US No 1 hits in succession, with Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry and Walk Like a Man, in 1962 and 1963.
The Four Seasons were the biggest-selling
American pop group of the early 1960s but little was known of their origins until the hit jukebox musical Jersey Boys opened on Broadway in 2005.
