I Only Have Eyes for You
"I Only Have Eyes for You" is a popular romantic love song by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin, written in 1934 for the film ''Dames'' where it was introduced by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler.
According to ''Billboard'' magazine, the song was a #2 hit for Ben Selvin in 1934. The orchestras of Eddie Duchin and Anson Weeks also figured in the song's 1934 popularity, and was used the following year in the film, ''The Woman in Red'', produced by Warner Bros., starring Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Raymond. It was also used in the film ''Tea for Two'', sung by Gordon MacRae. This song was recorded in 1950 by Peggy Lee, and by the Flamingos in 1959, becoming one of their most popular hits. ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked the Flamingos' version #157 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This version peaked at #11 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by thousands of musicians.
A remake of the song by Art Garfunkel was a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart in October 1975 for two weeks.〔http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/i%20only%20have%20eyes%20for%20you/〕 The song was his first hit as a solo artist in the UK.
