My Eyes Adored You

"My Eyes Adored You" is a 1974 song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan.[3] It was originally recorded by The Four Seasons in early 1974. After the Motown label balked at the idea of releasing it, the recording was sold to lead singer Frankie Valli for $4000. After rejections by Capitol and Atlantic Records, Valli succeeded in getting the recording released on Private Stock Records, but the owner/founder of the label, Larry Uttal, wanted only Valli's name on the label. The single was released in the US in November 1974 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1975.[3] "My Eyes Adored You" also went to number 2 on the Easy Listening chart.[4] Billboard ranked it as the No. 5 song for 1975.
