"My Eyes Adored You" was originally recorded by The Four Seasons in early 1974. After the Motown label balked at the idea of releasing it, the recording was sold to lead singer Frankie Valli for $4000. Valli succeeded in getting the recording released on Private Stock Records, but the owner/founder of the label wanted only Valli's name on the label. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1975. link

"Rhinestone Cowboy" is a song written and recorded by Larry Weiss in 1974. It did not, however, have much of a commercial impact as a single, although it peaked at number 71 in Australia in August 1974. In late 1974, American country music singer Glen Campbell heard the song on the radio during a tour of Australia and decided to learn it. When released in the United States on May 26, 1975, as the lead single and title track from his album Rhinestone Cowboy, it enjoyed huge popularity with both country and pop audiences. link
