This track is an early example of what is now termed "Smooth Soul." Through the '50s and '60s, if you sang R&B or Soul, this is the sound you were compared to and sought to perfect. Later groups featuring a similar sound, from the '60s thru the '80s, would include The Spinners, Stylistics, Ace Spectrum, Blue Magic,etc. Contemporary rivals included The Spanials, Dells, Channels, Drifters, Fandangos, and others.
Lyrics:
My love must be a kind of blind love; I can't see anyone but you Sha bop sha bop Sha bop sha bop Sha bop sha bop Sha bop sha bop Are the stars out tonight (Sha bop sha bop) I don't know if it's cloudy or bright (Sha bop sha bop) I only have eyes for you, dear (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop) The moon may be high (Sha bop sha bop) But I can't see a thing in the sky (Sha bop sha bop) I only have eyes for you I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue (Sha bop sha bop) You are here and so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from view And I only have eyes for you (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop) (Sha bop sha bop)
