Congratulations are in order to New Jersey’s own Frankie Valli who celebrated his 90th birthday by receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"I always dreamed that it might happen, and I guess my being so insistent made it happen and it's created it by working hard at it and making the right content,” Valli said at the ceremony on Friday.

Valli accepted the honor on behalf of the Four Seasons. The quartet formed in 1960 in Newark and went on to sell more than 175 million records worldwide.

Some of their greatest hits include "Sherry", "Walk Like a Man", "Grease" and "Big Girls Don't Cry."
