Frankie Valli sang Can’t take my eyes off of you for the first time. We both loved the song and it has remained “our song” for all of these years. It was really fun having the Roostertail reference in the play and the movie.

It was so awesome, I would highly recommend it for everyone. My daughter and I are 22 years apart and she loved it as much as I.

Just get to the performance here at our great Fisher Theatre…..

(I told her if she didn’t love it I wasn’t sure I could stay friends with her…haha.)

People would hear a song on CKLW like CTMEOY, and call WABC to ask why they weren’t playing it. The tremendous audio quality and signal of CKLW was due in large part to the late Ed Buterbaugh, their chief engineer, who also worked later at WABC New York. Others who post here from New York and New Jersey have told me how they used to tune in to CKLW back in the 1960s and 1970s.

Hence, it’s not surprising that CKLW plays a part in FV4S history.
