They were signed to Vee Jay Records for a time, Small blues label in Chicago, before going to Columbia. Don't know if that is the answer you are looking for.

Frank Ifield brought them along when he signed.

Nope. He brought them to Vee Jay, but heard of them prior to that.

In 1962 the Four Seasons were in England. They were on a concert tour. One of the acts were the Beatles. The Beatles were very popuplar in England. When the Four Seasons saw this, they brought it to Vee Jay's attention when they returned. That is how the American music industry first heard about the Beatles.
