THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
83-Frankie Valli-My Eyes Adored You.
1975-Number 5 single.
Best Bit-At 2.06.I get the feeling all his other body parts were just as keen.
Yet another classic from the pen of Bob Crewe,who this time teamed up with American Soul singer/songwriter Kenny Nolan.I have already written in detail many times of the achievements of Bob Crewe(see also best songs 914-863-739-499-393-284-164 and 112,) and undoubtedly his collaboration with Kenny Nolan in the 1970’s is on a par with his 1950’s and 1960’s output.
In 1974 ‘My Eyes Adored You’ went to Number 1 on Billboard and the song which replaced it was ‘Lady Marmalade’ by Labelle,another Crewe/Nolan composition.
This song was originally recorded by the Four Seasons in 1974,but rejected by the Motown record label. Franki Valli(see also best songs 739 and 284) still had faith in the song and actually bought the rights to it for what now looks a bargain $4000.There were further rejections from Capital and Atlantic Records before Valli got to record it for the smaller label,Private Stock.
The lyrics are fairly easy to understand.The narrator is reminiscing about the time he was in love as an adolescent,but never got the nerve up to tell her how much he loved her.Now many years later he wonders how different things could have been.
‘Carried your books from school,playin’ make believe you’re married to me.’
