Tommy DeVito, one of the founding members of The Four Seasons has died from COVID-19 at 92 years old.

The Four Seasons began their career in the early 1950s. The members of the famed band included Frankie Valli as the lead singer, Bob Gaudio on keyboards and tenor vocals, DeVito on lead guitar and baritone vocals, and Nick Massi on electric bass and bass vocals.

Their debut single was Otis Blackwell's "You're the Apple of My Eye" and charted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The Four Seasons had hits with songs such as "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like a Man" and more.
