Apologies if I've missed anyone. All welcome to come & play!

A couple of bands/artists to be guessed.

No idea what your theme is!

Detroit spinners?

Oh what a night?
Can’t think who sang it

@Imherenowandthen correct for Detroit Spinners!

Correct for Oh what a night!

Who sang it is a clue to the theme. 😀

Another song to add, you will have heard it!

Put your loving hand out baby
Cause I'm beggin'

60s, covered twice in the 2000s

This is the 4 seasons (or frankie valley and the 4 seasons)

Oh what a night late December 1963 (or a combination of those words )

I think your theme may be that they are all Frankie valley/4 seasons covers

Correct @shinynewapple22 !

They were all originally sang by the Four Seasons or Frankie Valli (who was the lead singer of the Four Seasons usually).

Went to see Jersey Boys recently and didn't realise they had so many hits! It was fantastic. Also that so many of their songs were covered by others and became big hits.

Still a few of the artists who covered to be guessed or I can just give the answers.

Whats outstanding?

Well done everyone!

@ssd can guess who covered the original.

Covered by an American male singer

Why has Dex come (and gone probably) in fancy dress?

Famous cover by an American male crooner!

Andy Williams

It's just came up on my Facebook that it's Frankie Valli's birthday today, he's 88!! I honestly had no idea!!

Correct @mudgetastic ! Most famous one I think, also covered by Gloria Gaynor and others.

Seemed like a good idea at the time 😂😂

Just to say Let's Hang on was covered by Barry Manilow and Beggin was covered by 2 bands I've never heard of although I know the song!

Madcon and Maneskin, googled it! Actually don't think I put this song down now, although it sounds really familiar! 😆

80s
Fix me with your loving
shut the door and turn the lock

80s
I asked for more and more
how can I be sure

80s
now we’ve waded in too deep
and love is overboard

Is the middle one Tears for Fears, Pale Shelter?

God i loved Pale Sheltar
