Does anyone know the history of Tin Tin in the early 70s? I have a
single called "I'm Afraid" which doesn't have writing credits from
either Steve. Pete Beckett is the writer and producer. It sounds like
Tin Tin but I'm wondering if either Steve was still in the group and
who Pete Beckett is?

I saw Frankie Valli last year and he was pretty frail looking, although he
must now be quite old. He coughed all through the show, I think from 40
years of breathing second hand lounge smoke (and maybe a smoker himself).
He had no women in his band, just a bunch of very young, buff guys singing
and playing in the band (probably to cut costs). But there is no denying
the huge impact and impressive number of hits FV had.
