5/5

"Beggin'" is a song composed by Bob Gaudio and Peggy Farina and originally popularized by American band the Four Seasons in 1967. The song was popular on the Northern soul scene in England in the 1970s, and it has been covered multiple times, with a remix by French DJ Pilooski and covers by Norwegian hip-hop duo Madcon and Italian rock band Måneskin topping the music charts in Europe and beyond.

Keyboardist-songwriter Bob Gaudio had not written a Four Seasons single since 1965's "Girl Come Running", although he had written or co-written almost every Four Seasons hit up to then.

"Beggin'", the second single from the Four Seasons' New Gold Hits album in 1967, marked Gaudio's "return" as the Seasons' songwriter, with a combination of Frankie Valli's impassioned soul singing and the band's more contemporary instrumentation. It also was the first Seasons single since "Dawn (Go Away)" on which Gaudio collaborated with a lyricist other than producer Bob Crewe, as lyrics were contributed by Peggy Farina (better known as Peggy Santiglia of the Angels, who sang lead on the 1963 hit "My Boyfriend's Back" and was frequently used as a background singer by Crewe).
