Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Cover (Boys Town Gang)

Lyricist : Rokusuke Ei \ Composer : Haichidai Nakamura 
ISWC : T-101.072.813-7
Publisher : Sony Music Publishing Inc \ Singer : Kyu Sakamoto
Released : October 15, 1961
________________________________________________________

In Anglophone countries, the song is best known under the alternative
title "Sukiyaki",
the name of a Japanese hot-pot dish with cooked beef.
The word sukiyaki does not appear in the song's lyrics,
nor does it have any connection to them; 
it was used only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese,
and more familiar to English speakers.
A Newsweek columnist compared this re-titling to issuing "Moon River"
in Japan under the title "Beef Stew"

This song was famous also by Kyu Sakamoto’s whistling

The English-language lyrics of the version recorded by « A Taste Of Honey »
in 1980 are not a translation of the original Japanese lyrics,
but instead a completely different set of lyrics
arranged to the same basic melody.
__________________________________________________________

It was four or five years now that I didn’t sing and record the songs.
I was sung and recorded one in 2022 and one recently in April 2024
and  this one today. The voice is not quite there…
I need to rework my voice.

When I was a little, I often hummed this song…
I sing in English, it doesn't sound the same as in Japanese.
But I try not to damage the song too much. The melody is very pretty.
I’ll try my best for the next time to sing in Japanese.

Alas, it wasn't me who played the guitar!. I gave it up a very,
very long time ago. Besides,
I can't remember how to pluck the chords... 🙄😊😁
(I used to sing it and play guitar when I was young).

In fact it is a guitar sound from the synthesizer going
through a sound module. But no synthesizer guitar sound can
replace the real sound of a guitar... Maybe now...
With the new technology.
Besides you can hear that it is a bit machine.

There are imperfections, I recorded it in one take.
When I sing, I only have the feeling once,
so inevitably the wrong notes and the pronunciation
mistakes are in the “box” as they say.

I don't usually sing rhythmic songs, but I like Rock, especially these 2 Elvis songs.
It's just a little nod to my big brother Phi Van who moved back to Laos. He sang them very well.
This song was arranged in January 2013. I sang it for the first time in 2018 at a birthday party... I didn't think it was hard enough to sing, plus the tempo is very fast. (I suspect my arranger of speeding up the tempo to boost me😒😩). I had a hard time finishing the Teddy Bear song. 😁 Just for fun ! 😊__________________________________________________________________

We took part in a dinner dance for a Lao-Viet-Thaï-Hmong 
“Catholic Group of Friends” on April 05, 2025.

It's been 7 years (2018) since we played live. We usually play in threes... 
On this particular evening, there were only two of us,
and a guitarist was missing. Except that we weren't no longer used 
to playing continuously...
In fact we hadn't rehearsed much. We'd just fine-tuned our repertoire,
so there were bound to be a few slip-ups... you'll see. 😊

Released : March 14th 1975
Publishers : Almo Music Corporation \ Universal Music
__________________________________________________________

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

This cover was arranged in November 2013, but remained unfinished...
At the time, my voice had a higher key than Karen Carpenter's,
but I couldn't sing it well. Even today, with the same key as hers,
I struggle a little...
I like this song, its slightly country vibe.

Hommage à Françoise Hardy disparue le 11 juin 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Je fais honneur à la chanson française et aussi aux Followers "Français" 😊

Petite parenthèse : Je suis d'origine Vietnamienne, née au Laos 
où j'ai vécu pendant 10 ans étant petite.
Je vis en France depuis un certain temps et un temps certain...
Et mes goûts musicaux sont anglo-saxons. (Compliqué !... 😩)

Je suis navrée de ne pas faire beaucoup de reprises de chansons françaises...

Cette chanson était connue dans le monde, même au Laos. 😁
(Le Laos faisait parti de l'Indochine Française)

Il y avait même une version italienne "L'Età Dell'amore"

I honor French music and also my “French” followers 😊

A little aside: I am of Vietnamese origin, born in Laos 
where I lived for 10 years as a child.
I have been living in France for quite some time now...
And my musical tastes are Anglo-Saxon. (Complicated!... 😩)

I'm sorry I don't do many French covers...

Released : December 1971
Publisher : Cat Music Ltd \ Universal Music Publishing

***********************************************************************************
This song is a famous Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931

***********************************************************************************
It had been over 35 years since I last played the guitar...

I started again at the end of July 2025.

On August 10, 2025, I recorded this cover with my cell phone,
WITHOUT EFFECTS, raw sound, with vocals and guitar.

When converting the file to Wav format, I simply heightened the volume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I would like to thank two followers:

- Four months ago, the first one really encouraged me 
to pick up the guitar again.

- The second is someone I hold in high esteem, 
who gave me confidence and, above all,
strongly advised me to post this track as it is,
despite its imperfections (the chords weren't quite right,
the singing wasn't great...)

A big thank you!

Encore une fois, je fais honneur à la chanson Française.
_________________________________________________

J'aime bien ce morceau et cet artiste qui est très connu,
mais on n'entend pas beaucoup parler de lui...
Ce morceau est un extrait de l'album
"La Dernière Séance" enregistré à Nashville (Tennessee)

Cette chanson figurait dans le générique et
donnait son nom à une émission de télévision
animée par Eddy Mitchell lui même, de 1982 à 1998
qui était consacrée aux classiques du cinéma américain.
(dont je raffole)

J'adore aller au cinéma et toujours à la "dernière séance"...

**********************************************************************
Once again, I honor French songs.
_________________________________________________

I like this track and this artist, who is very well-known (in France),
but we don't hear much about him...
This track is taken from the album
"La Dernière Séance" recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.

This song was featured in the credits and
leaved its name to a television show
hosted by Eddy Mitchell himself, from 1982 to 1998
dedicated to American cinema classics.
(which I love)

I love going to the movies, and always to the "last screening"...

Do You Remember - Cover (Phil Collins)

I'm just an amateur.

I don't have the soul of a composer, arranger or creator... (or at least I've never tried).
I love music, I especially love to sing, I only perform and I only do covers.
I played guitar for over 10 years when I was young. I gave it up over 30 years ago...

I admire the talents of the artists on SC. You are incredible!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my profile and listen.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Je suis juste une amateure.

Je n'ai pas l'âme d'un compositeur ni arrangeur ni créateur... (ou du moins je n'ai jamais essayé)
J'aime la musique, j'aime surtout chanter, je ne fais qu'interpréter et je ne fais que des reprises.
J'ai joué la guitare pendant plus de 10 ans quand j'étais jeune. Ça fait plus de 30 ans que je l'ai laissée tomber...

J'admire les talents des artistes sur SC. Vous êtes incroyables !
