In the early 60s, Cifelli teamed up with Mike Petrillo of Belleville, NJ. They were introduced to each other by Frankie Valli. Petrillo is an accomplished tenor saxophonist and plays solo sax lead on "Opus 17 (Don't you worry bout me) by Valli and the Four Seasons.

In 1967, Cifelli and Petrillo co-wrote "Tell it to the Rain", a hit for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons which was a gold record on the Billboard Charts. The duo also wrote several other songs for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons including "Fox in the Bush" and "Expression of Love". In 2003, Joe Pesci covered "Fox In The Bush". The duo continue writing to this day.
