OK, raise your hand if you got sick every time this song came on the radio back in 1970. Yeah, me too! That admission definitely pegs my age, but it pegs yours too! Still, absence makes the heart grow fonder as they say, and 38 years later this much-loathed Bubblegum nugget sounds pretty damn good. And would it surprise you to know that "Temptation Eyes" didn't even make the national top 10? Certainly, the local Top 40 stations in my home town saturated the airwaves with it, and it was a huge hit there, but I suppose a lot of stations just ignored it. Another thing that may surprise you is that some Northern Soul dance deejays mix this in with their other Northern Soul tunes? It does have
that beat, it's true! Another nerdy fact is that this single was a non-album cut available only on compilation albums. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Dunhill/ABC Records factory sleeve. It has Mint audio!
