(1964)"Big Man in Town" is a song popularized by The Four Seasons and written by Four Seasons member
Bob Gaudio . The single was released byPhilips Records in December 1964 and reached the #20 position on the "'Billboard"Hot 100 chart."Big Man in Town" was released at a time in which Four Seasons material was being issued on an almost-weekly basis, between releases on
Philips Records under their group name and reissues on the group's former label Vee-Jay. The rate of releases would be soon to increase as — with the blessing of Philips Records executives — lead singerFrankie Valli would be rekindling a long-dormant "solo" career with the rest of the group as backing musicians. The song is also featured in the Tony-award winning musical "Jersey Boys ".
