Can't take my eyes off you - Boys Town Gang

The Boys Town Gang were formed in 1980 by DJ Bill Motley, who saw an opportunity to form a group that catered to San Francisco's large gay clientele. Over the years the formation of the group changed a lot.

Written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, 'Can't take my eyes off you' was originally a hit single for Frankie Valli in 1967. The Boys Town Gang made a disco cover of the song in 1982, which gave them a number one hit in the Netherlands. I rediscovered the tune in 1992, when I literally couldn't take my eyes off a girl I saw daily in school. This is the theme song of that temporary obsession.

My collection: 7" single no. 1783
Found: November 7, 1992
Cost: 5 guilders
Tracks: 'Can't take my eyes off you' / 'Can't take my eyes off you (reprise)'
