What a perfectly constructed song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan. It was
originally recorded by The Four Seasons in early 1974 but released as a Frankie
Valli solo song and topped the charts in 1975. Besides the touching subject
matter, it subliminally keeps our interest by continuously modulating up 1/2 step
at a time. Send Questions/comments to dougj1986[at]aol.com. My apologies if the
chord/words placement gets misaligned as I imported these notes from Word.
My Eyes Adored You
The intro guitar part uses '6ths' a la Van Morrison's BROWN EYED GIRL or Jim Croce's OPERATOR
