'I Only Have Eyes for You' (Flamingos, 1959) is a haunting doo-wop ballad whose roots go back to 1934. The Flamingos’ version is famous for its lush, reverb-soaked harmony vocals and romantic mood. With piano glissandos and an echo effect on the refrain, the song feels dreamy – reflecting a devotion that ‘makes the stars and the world fade away.’ It became an R&B hit and helped define the cool vocal-group style of the late 1950s. Over the years, this version has resurfaced in many movies (from *American Hustle* to *Some Kind of Wonderful*), underscoring its enduring spellbinding quality.
