Rag Doll

Nice clean early NZ pressing in very good condition.

Rag Doll was a new step in the Four Seasons albums. Previously, the group had filled LPs with covers of oldies after including their current hit. Rag Doll consisted entirely of songs written by group member Bob Gaudio, which gave it a contemporary feel, and it contained three Top Ten hits, including the number one title track, "Save It for Me," and "Ronnie." Rag Doll was the most consistent regular new studio album the Four Seasons had ever made, and it signalled they were ready to challenge the new competition of the Beatles.

Rag Doll" is a popular song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. It was recorded by The Four Seasons and released as a single in 1964. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 18, 1964, and remained on top for two weeks.^[1] According to songwriter Bob Gaudio, the recording was inspired by a dirty-faced girl who cleaned the windshield of his automobile for change. When Gaudio reached into his wallet, all he had were notes, none smaller than $20. He gave the girl a twenty dollar bill. (Gaudio has also said it was a $5 or a $10.) Her astonishment stayed in Gaudio's mind as he approached the recording studio. "Rag Doll", with a few tweaks by Bob Crewe, was the result. The song was also a number one hit in Canada, and reached number two in the UK and number four in Ireland.
