"Brotherhood of Man" Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons performed a really cheesy song called "Brotherhood of Man" during a 1964 appearance on the tv show On Broadway Tonight.  It's actually pretty cool.  It is, in fairness, a catchy tune, and they do beautiful joyful vocal harmonies.  On top of which, this performance is about the best steppin' video I've found of the band.  On top of which, they seem to be presenting it more or less as cheerful camp.  Or just to say it a little more broadly, they don't look like they think they're making a Profound Moral Statement.

These images come from the highly recommended Rhino box set The Music of Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons.
