Four Seasons, The - Ronnie Lyrics

Is Ronnie a guy?

in this song, Ronnie is a girl, but I usually associate this song with a boy-crush I had called Ronnie.

my crush's name is ronnie💝💝 but he's a boy lol

the late Mr. Saltzman on the drums

Where are the lyrics at

One of my My favorite four seasons songs

Frankie sounds a bit like Elmo at the end.

Shamefully not a hit over here in the UK [ although it didn't get the airplay of , say , Rag Doll ]. Amazing chorus that build and builds at the end . Thanks for sharing this little classic.

Released 1964

💛Luv the four seasons💛And my nickname is ✨Ronnie✨

Nancy Reagan's favorite song.

My dirty secret..he he he. Love their songs!

In the early 70's my Uncle owned a bar in NJ. I used to sweep the floor of the place, every morning, before school (for $4/wk, which was bank back then, to a 10 yr old) and he used to blast this song on the jukebox, every single morning. Stick with me for life along with many other Four Seasons songs and countless other classic artists. Respect.

Back then listening to this song on the radio in my dad's Olds. Beautiful night, the back seat was great and so was she

These Jersey boys were still huge even after the British Invasion

Frankie at the end sounds a bit like Elmo with that falsetto.

Ronny was here.

Frankie can hit notes higher than me😂😂

Nancy Reagan's favorite song.

so back in 1962 there was this girl Ronnie --the prettiest cheerleader at Midwood H S in Brooklyn -- met up with her at Manhattan Beach -- we crushed on each other for the summer --

This is my favorite Four Seasons song!!
And they had plenty of very good ones!!
Great American group!

I remember listening to this when I was a kid. My Mom has an awesome record collection from the 60s.i

I'll go on livin and keep on forgivin because YOU ARE MY FIRST LOVE. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons rock!!!

Is'nt this song about Phil Spectres wife/gal from the Ronettes.??

Rip Ronnie Coleman

just watched jersey boys....disappointed that this song wasn't featured in the film

Great bassline in this song

absolutely!

I'm only 35 and I enjoy this era of music. I keep procrastinating on making a compilation cd of songs from this decade. This track just made the list!!

Love this song my name is Ronnie and this song came out when I was 5..I remember singing this song constantly!! LOL

I wish this song was back on spotify

Michael C why did they take it off?

@Docta Groove
I'm wondering the same, LOL. WTF.

It’s back on Spotify now

still as braw

I saw Mr. Valli in concert this and last year. Absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, he didn't sing this one. But he's still great!

very beautiful song, one of the best groups of all time, great music & memories of life, proud fan since 1962, solid gold music, 17 number 1 hits

There was only ...There is only ...There will only ever be ...One Frankie Valli.....Still touring at 82 and playing the Genting Arena, Birmingham UK on Thursday 20 April 2017

There was only ...
There is only ...
There will only ever be ...
One Frankie Valli

Still touring at 82 and playing the Genting Arena, Birmingham Uk on Thursday 20 April 2017

The debt was really damned

I'm thinking of naming some girls in my own made up anime/manga series after Four Seasons songs.
Ronnie, Dawn, Sherry, and Marianne.

Marlena and,Connie !

lo mazimo como ellos niguno

What lyrics? SMH

description

The greedy pig politician Ronnie wants to come back as the greedy pig Trump.

you suck

my names Ronnie haha

This can be your theme song.

Ronnie Cochran my name is Ronnie also. I was about 15 years old when it came out. I loved it so much. At this time so much. Many songs came out with women's names, but Ronnie was the first and last. Plus 4 seasons was my favorite group.

My first love's named Veronica. I called her Ronnie :'(

Favorite Four Seasons song.

It seems to me we never forget our first love. That person who caused our heart to open in that special way remains in our memories long after the fact.  Nice to hear and to remember her.

Hmmm.........

love this ☺ my dad's name is Ronnie....used this for his birthday, and his sister is Connie. Both songs are brilliant...love The Four Seasons

that guitar strumming when they sing because right after the intro drums really stands out to me, this song is just amazingly put together, LEGENDS

Bob Gaudio used to surge the power on guitar chords

yoooooooooo

The Four Seasons were and still are American Treasure.

@xmandlt I was referring to the sound. There are plenty of other tenor singers out there that could replace the other members of the group without any loss of sound quality. But Frankie had that singular, dynamic voice, and the writers wrote the songs with him primarily in mind. Frankie didn't write any of the season's hit songs as far as I know. Gaudio and Crewe did.

Good point. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, DEBB

Uptown Girl sounds like Big Mans World by the 4Seasons Robert Plant is 6 foot 1

Timeless American Treasure. :-)

Awesome style,like bob gaudio said, nothing like the beach boys,not a brotherly sound,more street corner edgier style and I totally agree.and I love Tommy devitos baritone vocal track on this one as i love his vocal track on Bye bye baby.

Frankie Vallie and four seasons are the best! Nobody can sing like Frankie Vallie! Top 2 best voices ever!!!! We need to bring back this music there's nothing like it!

Jason Campagna ...Agreed, but the composition s and arrangements by Gaudi are extraordinary too!

Only the angels sang this: they were the four seasons with Nick Massi.

those opening drums always get to me     one of the first Seasons songs i fel in love with  still have my old VJ 45's

Nostalgic beauty!

"Ronnie", Four Seasons.

The Jersey Boys movie forgot it SHOULD have been about the songs.  Very bad movie.  I think they left this one out because it's so hard to sing - only Frankie can do it, so why not just have the actor lip-sync all the songs rather than croak like frog?

Okay. First of all the Movie was amazing, it wasn't all about the music, it was about what they went through to get to the top💯

better on broadway

@***** shew lawd - "this one"  (Ronnie) wasn't in the movie.

Wasn't that Clint Eastwood's movie? I don't think they used the original music in that movie either. Anyone know for sure?

It's a shame this song and "Bye Bye  Baby" get forgotten in the incredible songbook
of the wonderful Four Seasons.

Dion1957, 'Save It For Me' is a great song too.

That's the biggest problem with them... all their songs are bloody amazing. XD

Great tune.
I feel "Marlena" is quite underrated, as well.

This song is special for me.  Had a girlfriend called Ronnie in my last year of High School. We had so much fun but had to separate after school she went to work on a Bank while I went to the University.  But I still remember her when I hear this song.

Footie Footie you were my first love

What was missing from the movie was a Exciting "in concert" or any kind of compilation medley of the 4 Seasons performing their back to back hits!  Too,too many songs ignored! 

So right david.  The movie was a huge disappointment.

Just took my wife to see the Jersey Boys movie! Great movie that I would recommend to anyone young or old. The story was fantastic! The music was a bit marginalized, but did include most of the Four Season's great songs. This is the one song that was omitted. Why? It killed me! This was the song I most recognized as a kid... when I become a fan. As I vividly recall, I thought this was a girl band; because I thought Ronnie was a guy. :)  Here's my guess. No one can capture the true voice and magic of Frankie Valli. I realize that. My thought is this was a song that the Frankie Valli actor just couldn't take on. Thoughts?

Rick - couldn't agree more about no-one could capture this song (and Cmon Marianne) like Frankie.  Disagree that Jersey Boys was a great movie.  To me it was lifeless and didn't soar like the music should!  For going-on 50 years these songs have been rattling around in my head - with me (imaginary) hittin those high notes!

@Rick Samara don't hit me you all but the first ime i heard the Seasons i thought Frankie was a girl understand Brian Wilson used to get teased about his voice when he was younger

I really didn't know much about the Four Seasons before I went to go see the Broadway show in New York, and when I did, I instantly got attached to it. Fantastic music. I envy my dad's 60's generation.

What amazed me about this group is the end-to-end hits, just one after another. I didn't pay much attention back then, I was a kid and a Beatles fanatic, but now I listen to it again and think, my God! This is such great stuff, and Valli is a lyric tenor of almost operatic proportions (soaring into countertenor with NO break in his voice).

Exactly, well said!

Great Song from the One and Only FOUR SEASONS

Esta musica es otra de mis faboritas espero les guste a mis amigos y publico en general

Why does Fankie Vallie always sound as if he says "you were my fish love" instead of my first love?  Don't care, love the song anyway.

Was This Song Writen For Ronnie Spector

This is my favorite Four Seasons song, and they had a lot of good ones...

Hey dude i,m in middle school but i listen to them and elvis and ritchie valens

But little richard is the king of Rock n roll.start with the foundation

I also think the '60s were the best!

Ronnie was another Bob Crewe-Bob Gaudio big hit in that great year of 1964. It was one of 4 top ten hits for Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons that year. It was also on the classic top 10 Lp Rag Doll.

Frankie Valli playlist.....you tube is great. Makes work suck way less

Used to be able to sing as high as Frankie when I was a kid. Now I am 41 and it don't sound right haha.

favoriteeeee <3

what harmonies.gives me chills.

I just saw him live tonight, and I'm so sad he didn't do this :( Although I guess it's not one of his more known songs, like sherry and big girls don't cry.

Such a nice song

I had the same experience but, I was in my 64' Galaxie 500
a convertible!
Summer night with the top down. The car was great
but the NY Worlds fair sucked!
Lived in Queens went many times!!
Thanks for the memory!

can we please stop arguing about generational tastes. just keep an open mind.

@Lonewolfmichigan i have a clue:)

Sounded great on 770 WABC radio on the way home from the NY Worlds Fair in my '64 Chevy Impala SS 327cu in convertable, top down on the then new Long Island Expressway.
Those WERE the days....

The kids of today have NO IDEA,CLUELESS.

Frankie Vali and the 4 Seasons.....Priceless

lmfao,my grandma is fake crying because her first boyfriend's name was ronnie, she is so crazy.............she said this wwas her song as a kid

Thanks for the information-Jeff

My favourite of them.........:-))

@FiteNoMore dude when your 75 as frankie is you have already been dead at least 7 years.why do you insult a musical legend? i think you may have vice grip but no balls! stick that in your crack pipe and smoke it!

How can you "dislike" this song?

They are one of the greatest reasons why I consider the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll history.

anybody understand why rolling stone still refuses to acknowledge these guys. is it that they had no drug overdoses, no spousal battering,no public outbursts by band members. cant be lack of arrest records,ie devito and massi.or is rolling stone what i think it is, a left wing bunch of bleeding heart commie liberals? thats the beat i could come up with!

One of their best!!!

i just put in a comment about this song please forgive on my spelling not that good on a pc and spelling thanks mrbats38

man i remeber this song and the four seasons my best friend gril name was ronnie and she had a yellow 1966 chevelle with a 396 and a four on the floor . iwas going out with her friend marcy and what times we had in that car to bad my friend did not know how to drive a stick but when they wanted the back seat i did the driveing what times mrbats38

Dude your story is beach boy lyrics,lol

@golferbob579 rag doll was 64,not 62!

I love this song! My name is Roni and pronounced like Ronnie! I was going through my friend's ipod and found this, it just made my day!

flawless

Love this song......and the GROUP....Thank you Frankie.and the Seasons for posting this

@desert3347 Your comment, sounds idiotic. No offense, I'm sure you're
a great guy.

My girlfriends boy friend was "Ronnie". He had a 61 convertable and we would ride around it. This song came on the radio. Good memories for me but not them.

I was part of a band that did warm-up for the Seasons in Indian Lake, Ohio in 1962 and they introduced "Rag Doll"........great memories!!

This is my favorite Four Seasons song. The bass is just crazy.

Yup this one and bye bye baby

ah, yes...ronnie (veronica) was my heartthrob in the 7th grade back in 1963. she, of course, hardly knew i existed. still, i'll never forget her enchanting eyes, chestnut hair, substantial rack, and striking smile. the stupid cow...i wonder what she looks like now, lol. wonderful memory, nonetheless. thanks!

@seadawg1950 I agree except my favourite Four-Seasons-Song: it is the first 4-Seasons-45 I ever bought: the immortal "Rag Doll".
