Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio were the songwriters. Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams covered it. "Can't Take My Eys Off You" went high up to about #2 on the chart in 1967 for Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons. Here are versions by Lauren Hill and Muse.
Check out these covers. WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE BEST ?

BOBBY DARIN : 1965 : WITH VIC DAMONE AND ANDY WILLIAMS ON ANDY'S SHOW
"BOBBY IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY."
Lipsinking fun.
The "Act" on this Historical music video is Bobby Darin with the "Big Ego." Bobby was known for his confidence and ambition, but when we were all starting out, hanging out in diners and working around the Brill building, the Bobby I knew had a humble side, and he was a good, loyal, friend. Our plans to record together went by the wayside when he moved to Hollywood to act, met his wife Sandra Dee, and started a family.

(252) JERRY COLE - AN INTERVIEW WITH WES BRYAN
This is from an interview I did with Wes recently during one of our meetings. Christine Trzyna
Wes Bryan:
"Jerry Cole always drove a big Lincoln Town Car. It was a massive car for a guy who was barely five feet tall. But Jerry was BIG is so many ways..."
"He had the biggest Fender amps at the time. And Jerry had a low resonance in his voice (Tequila!) that made him SOUND like he was six foot four - bigger than the sky."
"When I started producing records, I called Jerry into the studio to play every chance I got. He was a natural arranger. And he became a regular on the Shindig television show... Jerry's gift was that he could play just about any instrument he got his hands on, so when we recorded we would "stack" various instruments. He helped me more than anyone. Always a smile on his face. A one man band."
"I ran into Andy Williams at the Farmers Market on Fairfax, in Los Angeles. He said this of Jerry: He's one of the best musicians that every existed." At the time Jerry had lead Andy's band and produced a record called "Tell Mary," a hit on Capitol.
Jerry's passed away - a great loss to me. I think of him on so many different occasions. He's on so much of the music that I produced.
