Tommy DeVito has died.  He was the lead guitarist of the Four Seasons, as well as a singer and one of its founders.

Tommy had been kicking around the music business for a decade (most of those years with Frankie Valli) before the newly minted Four Seasons finally hit it big in 1962 with "Sherry." The band would have 13 more top ten hits, including three more #1 hits, before the decade ended.

Tommy left the group in the early 1970s.  Frankie Valli continued having hits with the "Four Seasons," but it wasn't the same band. Tommy did reunite with his former bandmates when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990.
