i remember this song real well, this song ended the one year streak of the beatles song..Girl...in the philippines...i was delighted coz i hated the beatles but my sister love them....
I worked at a club in Petersburg, VA and Gary Lewis played there - I don't know what I expected but THEY WERE AMAZING - Several of the songs had "chill bumps" on my neck, arms and legs!! The guys were all so nice too -they hung around after the show and socialized....GREAT GUYS, great music!!
I remember being so sad when I watched their last performance on Ed Sullivan. Gary had been drafted and was leaving for basic training, then Viet Nam. I hear they play in Branson, I'd love to see them some day.
I always liked this mix better than the other mix they did of this song. The other mix featured keyboards instead of the horns the way this mix does. Thanx for posting
@moparfan59 I think this mix was the single release ,the one played on the radio. The album version is a punchier completely different take.For me its a toss-up of which one I like better.I think both versions are great.

thesixtiesrocked - pls if yo can download the "sure gonna miss her" version from the HITS AGAIN ALBUM.....that would be great!!!....the faster version has more drum fills and a stronger rythmn guitar line...excellent song all around....BASS lines sound so Carl!
One great thing about Gary Lewis is he had Leon Russell arranging alot their more complicated songs--yes that Leon Russell.
BTW,I have a different version of this same song by Gary Lewis but it has a much more prounounced drumming set in it and super wide Stereo. Maybe I can dig it out--its on vinyl and get it uploaded.
i won a singing contest singing gary lewis "the night has a thousand eyes"way way back..gl and the playboys music has that certain feeling of good times in a fun and wholesome way...ahh good old days..
i just learned it few minutes i posted my notes..thanks....bobby vee was not a big star in the phils.(i think )i was young never heard of him -although bobby vinton was also popular..did glewis and the playboys recorded this song?if not, it was bobby vee version that i heard then?
@GingerGilligan Gary Lewis & the Playboys worked for the same label as Bobby Vee, so they did a cover version of "1000 Eyes". I sang the song once on kareoke and still have the tape.

Gary has a very appealing voice but let's not say they were underrated when it was all studio musicians who recorded Gary's songs.

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes was a hit by Bobby Vee, and Gary Lewis covered it on his LP, songs on LPs were called Fillers.

the question is, "if the professor can build a radio out of coconuts, why can't he fix the boat for them to get off the island.

Good question. Some "professors" can figure out complicated problems and its solutions but not know how to change a tire.
