The Four Lovers started out in the early '50s, but
the individual members' musical backgrounds went back to the 1930s. Their
whole story started with the DeVito family of Belleville, a working-class
town in northern New Jersey ...
Tommy DeVito was born in Belleville, NJ on June 19, 1936. He played guitar and was
one of the back up/harmony singers also. He left the FOUR SEASONS in 1970.
