What Does It Mean When Dream About Pitbulls

MY EYES ADORED YOU / FRANKIE VALLI



"My Eyes Adored You" is a song by American singer Frankie Valli , which was released as Sngle in November 1974.
Francis Stephen Castelluccio, real name of this famous singer, shot to fame in the mid 60's when he was the lead singer Four Seasons, with whom he won the charts and radio stations for nearly two decades experience each new style that came to loading and running as a musical emblem of the 60's.

The year was 1971 and Frankie and his colleagues sought to restructure his musical career, so they signed a contract with Motown , influenced by the producer and "head" Berry Gordy, Jr who promised all possible support for the Four Seasons back to sound strong on the radio after a period of musical drought.
Days passed, and Gordy never went to see the band as he was more worried about the career of Diana Ross , for those who days beginning an acting career. Despite the promise had already been sent anywhere, Valli received a tape containing a ballad called "My Eyes Adored You" , whose authorship was the successful team of composers formed by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan whom he wrote this song for the singer's devoted to his beloved Mary Ann , who with 24 years and was the second wife of the singer from New Jersey. Obviously this ballad and aroma had a hit ...

This beautiful song is specifically about an unrequited love. In it, Valli puts his talent to sing about that girl who had "enganchao" since I was a schoolboy, but he never noticed. Under this context so romantic, always Valli was dedicated to his wife and promised to achieve step and get to the highest ...

after recording in mid-1973 and labeled at The Four Seasons in 1974. But surprisingly Motown decided to privilege not to publish his other "star" of angering Valli, who caught her things and split the seal, and incidentally bought the song to be presented to other music labels . So it was like
Valli and company toured several labels with tape under his arm. Despite good promotion (you Valli ECIA to all producers that the ballad would be a hit), and Capitol Records, and singer Atlatic believed him and he shut the door in his face.
Finally, those who believed in the word of Valli were the managers of Private Stock label who agreed to release the song but with one condition: He must be signed in Frankie Valli and not as The Four Seasons .

That's how "My Eyes Adored You" was released as a single in November 1974 in United States and little by little his way up the top spot in March 1975. In other words, the Billboard Hot 100 surrendered at the feet of Valli again ...

Thanks to the popularity of "My Eyes Adored You" (which also broke it in the UK reaching # 5 in the charts) came the expected revival of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons who began to ring again in the way radios and signed a multimillion dollar contract with Warner Bros as in 1978 Private Stock, the label that believed in Valli, broke and had to close.

The story goes that the day the song reached the top spot of Billboard, Valli gave his wife a gold chain which was inscribed the words "My Eyes Adored You " , and he uses a similar one when singing this song on stage anywhere in the world ...
Enjoy!
