    Pls help/F.Valli can't take my eyes off you disco version

    Does anyone know if there's still a tape or a cd of Frankie Valli disco version " Can't take my eyes off you". It was very popular back in the late 70's early 80's
    I have been searching for it for decades now....Your help will be appreciated. :D

    Hmmm....I'm only familiar with the version by Boystown Gang--never knew that Frankie re-recorded it. Are you sure?

    Frankie indeed recorded that song. It was issued as a CD single in 1992 by the Collectables label. It is now out of print. A vinyl 45 is the only format that's still in print.

    Good luck!

    I'm pretty sure that "Collectables" CD was of Frankie's 1967 hit single of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"--not a disco re-recording. "Collectables" was a knockoff label for reisuues of "oldies" from the 50s, 60s and 70s.........

    That's always a possibility.

    Can't take my eyes off you...disco version

    Hello-
    Thanks for the information.
    I meant Frankie Valli's song, as him being the writer (if I am not mistanken). The disco version I am looking for is sang by a woman, so it is probably "Ross", but this was back in the early 80's...
    I have heard of a Brazilian band called Rod Hanna that also recorded it as a disco version in the late 90's, but it is not the one I remember.... :cry:
    I guess I will keep on looking. Thanks again everyone for the tips, and if I find it I will let you know... :D

    Boys Town Gang was a popular dance music combo from the '80s that scored a hit with "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." They released albums into the '90s, when they dissolved with the release of Disco Kicks, a greatest-hits album.

    Well, excuse my ignorance.... Judging by the name of the band I did not think it could be the one I was looking for....
    but, whatever! :roll:
    I already found it, not exactly thanks to you :roll: :roll: :roll

    OK, here's an example of the ineffectiveness of this
    ANONYMOUS GUEST posting......

    This was me:

    All this guest told guest and then guest said and then other guest told guest off....... is quite confusing and ultimately weakens the communication level here, methinks.

    What keeps those guys/girls from registering??? It's totally free, they just have to fill in a few things and they can choose a nickname! And if they don't feel at home here, they can always quit. Nobody will bother them afterwards, they won't recieve commercial messages or spam and they will not be checked by the CIA.:D

    C'mon, c'mon, join the club honeys

    Marky is right, it IS confusing!

    Well Marky, your helpful side is much better than your frustrated one...
    I was thinking why wouldn't you show your avatar?!

    Because now you can post without logging in--we are used to thinking that if we can post then we are logged in because of previous years of doing this.

    Also, I be lazy (and sometimes BITCHY) :P

    well, one reason I do not join in many of the other forums is the creeps out there... :oops:
    In this case I am not scared, just a bit intimidated...

    I thought chaps were always buttless, & frontless? :-? You can either wear jeans under them a la Gloria Estefan( :o ) or nothing showing your little prick, a la Marky! (sorry Marky, I couldn't resist, I'm no size queen honest !)
