The Four Seasons are an American rock and pop band who became internationally successful in the mid-1960s. The Vocal Group Hall of Fame has stated that the group was the most popular rock band before the Beatles. Since 1970, they have also been known at times as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. In 1960, the group known as the Four Lovers evolved into the Four Seasons, with Frankie Valli as the lead singer, Bob Gaudio (formerly of the Royal Teens) on keyboards and tenor vocals, Tommy DeVito on lead guitar and baritone vocals, and Nick Massi on bass guitar and bass vocals.
During the 1950s, they recorded R&B material as the Four Lovers and as Frankie Valli & The Romans. “Bermuda” and “Spanish Lace” were the first two sides released by Frankie Valli’s vocal group calling themselves the Four Seasons. Recorded and released near the end of 1961, these two songs garnered the Four Seasons enough of a following to ignite their career.

“No one has ever toured 42 countries in one day. Until now. From Malawi to Myanmar, from Uzbekistan to the U.S.A., people’s voices and struggles have made their way into my music.
On May 1st, I’m returning the favor with this global rebel rocking throwdown. Free. Everywhere. May Day. What is the World Wide Rebel Tour? Remember that old Coca-Cola commercial? ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony…?’ It’s like THAT…but with class warfare.” – Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman – Save The Hammer For The Man I hurt the gentlest souls, I robbed my wife and sonI turned my back on troubles, troubles I’d begun I cut a swath of pain and loss through the hallways of my home In the quiet of my room I know the things I’ve done Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man It’s the calling of the wretched, It’s the rising of the damned Save the hammer for the man I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan Alone I marched towards freedom, leaving footprints across the land With the vow that’s left unspoken, save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man You’re never too far down the wrong road To turn back and change your plan Save the hammer for the man I leaned against the hot and bothered wind beneath a hateful rain Politics and apocalypse all begin to look the same For price of my redemption will mean the end of many things The ransom for my soul the blood of generals and kings Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man I’ve sinned and I have suffered, And it feels good in my hands Save the hammer for the man I was driven from the city, in the wilderness I stand
Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman – Save The Hammer For The Man In the cleansing rain in silence, I made my battle plan I’ll whisper words of freedom, I will swing hard as I can Lord knows the time is coming, let’s keep the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man, save the hammer for the man If the fire’s hot enough Iron and steel will bend Save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man Save the hammer for the man I will whisper words of freedom, I’ll swing hard as I can Save the hammer for the man I’lll whisper words of freedom I’ll swing hard as I can
