"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Boys Town Gang

• "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Boys Town Gang

Producer, Bill Motley revisited the euro-disco feel ala San Francisco style in 1982 following the success of the first Boys Town Gang EP "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - this time utilizing Jackson Moore on lead vocals as Cynthia Manley went onto create a solo career.

This LP was a potpourri of remakes featuring Redbone's "Come And Get Your Love" and Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" - the top of the list was a remake of Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You". This track was the track which is most celebrated from his LP.

Motley created a layer of strings and percussion elements similar to those of the Euro-disco peak of a few years earlier and did so with a common ground on maintaining the disco sound. This period was known as the return of high energy/disco.

I have ReStructured the standard breaking the track down into a few more melodic breaks as well as crashing breaks.

Thanks to Kerim for requesting this one.
