Which 1976 song gave The Four Seasons their last Billboard Hot 100 No. 1?

“December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” gave The Four Seasons their last Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 in 1976.

The song was written by Bob Gaudio and Judy Parker. Its original title referred to November 1963, but the date was changed to December before release because the group’s record label felt the later month would be less politically sensitive.

Released in late 1975, the single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1976 and stayed there for three weeks. It revived the group’s commercial profile after a quieter period and became one of their most recognizable recordings.

The Four Seasons had first reached No. 1 in 1962 with “Sherry.” “December, 1963” is therefore not their debut chart-topper; it is their final one. The parenthetical title is essential because the song is often informally called simply “December, 1963.”
