Original video edited, colorized, and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Opus 17 (Don't You Worry 'bout Me)" is a song composed by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell and recorded by The Four Seasons in 1966 for their album Working My Way Back to You.
"Opus 17" was the first hit with new full-time bassist/bass vocalist Joe Long. The title meant that this was the 17th single released by the Four Seasons.
The song was released as the official follow-up to the title song of the album and reached the #13 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
As was the case with another Linzer-Randell contribution to the Four Seasons catalog, "Let's Hang On!", "Opus 17" features a rhythmic vocal hook within each verse, but, unlike in most Four Seasons singles, falsetto singing is muted except in the Coda section by Frankie Valli (songs without falsetto were usually released as Valli solo numbers in this era). The song begins in F-sharp major, and goes up by half scale, until it reaches the coda in B major.
Billboard praised the "excellent vocal and instrumental production." Cash Box described the song as a "pulsating, blues-soaked romancer with an infectious, Seasons-associated repeating, danceable riff."

Possibly my favourite 4 Seasons track. Just not long enough !
I love the 70s-Four Seasons very much with their albums “Who loves you” and “Helicon” and the hits “Who loves you”, “December 1963(Oh what a night)”, “Silver Star” and “Down the hall”. At that time they were really a band and a very good band with a very good drummer/leadsinger (Gerry Polci). And it’s a shame that Gerry Polci is no longer part of the group, because he was the best “Oh what a night”-singer. Nobody after him sang as good.
A sound that only the Four Seasons can produce and others can only imitate, A great Four Seasons classic, Opus 17 Don’t You Worry Bout Me.
Filmed on the Brookyn (NY) Heights Promenade - only a few blocks from my house! Thanks for this.
Glad you like it. Thanks.
Who didn't love Frankie. I loved all there songs. Made me smile😊🎶🎤🎸❤Talented
"their"
I think it's clear what I meant!!!
Their masterpiece...
That girl is giving that piece of gum a great work out.
Gotta love this song.
When I was a teenie bopper around 1969 I bought, The 4 Seasons' Gold Vault of Hits - I played the heck out of it but it didn't have this great hit on it. But I was a listener of WABC and DJ Dan Ingram played them a lot so I heard it a good number of times, it having been before my time LOL. Jingle announced they were playing a golden oldie which sounds funny now since those songs were less than ten years old then.
The little girl is Susan Lazzaro. She is 67.
Hey that’s me in technicolor :)
I appreciate the remastering but I can't help but feel like I dropped acid before I watched this
cool
Joe Long was the left-handed bassist for the 4 Seasons in this clip.
Thanks for making this! I worked up a version a couple of years ago but didn’t have the colorized video, and as you must know, the sync issues are very tricky!
Thanks! You're right.
One of their best! But listening to that song, I can't say I blame the girl in it for dumping him, sounds like a real needy, clingy guy without much self-respect.
Billboard # 13
Very good syncing of the stereo to the colorized video Sammy.
Thanks Jacob
