Boys Town Gang is an American group formed in 1980 by Dj Bill Motley, who will be accompanied at the start by singer Cynthia Manley.
Group that will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s thanks to the enormous single "Can’t take my eyes of you", single which was released in 1982 and which literally set fire to every dancefloor on the planet.
As such alone, we had to devote this article to them.
To discover or rediscover.

1981 ... a very marked Dance orientation from the first title. A resolutely displayed bias that will pay off, at one time or another, that's clear ...
1981 ... in the same vein. Of course, quality is essential, but the level for the moment is not sufficient to reach the top of the Charts. There is still a little work to be done to produce THE title that could change everything ...
1982...and it's not for lack of trying. For the moment, there is quantity but the quality is all in all average. It lacks the little stroke of genius that makes an ordinary title an exceptional title. But we believe in...
1982 ... it must be said that releasing certain titles only in North America considerably limits their possibilities of success. This will be the case for this title and the one that preceded it...
1982 ... and THE exceptional title, here it is, you just had to be patient. The group signs here the biggest success of all its discography and especially one of the biggest dance hits of the decade, if not of the end of the XXth century. An awesome track that will set fire to all the Dancefloor on the planet and bring One Shot the group into the musical legend of the 80s. MO-NU-MEN-TAL !

1983...we find the rhythm and the style of 'Can't take my eyes of you' and as if by chance the frank and massive success is back. Like it wasn't enough...
1984 ... after years and years of dance orientation, the group will finally deliver a track close to the Intimist register. And my gosh, it all works pretty well. Like what, they should perhaps have explored this path in more depth ...
1984...after two exceptional years for the group, the landing will be painful for the group during this year 1984. No title will be classified...
1984...as paradoxical as it may seem, the group will never return to the race. No matter how hard he tries, nothing will work...
1985 ... revisiting the titles of others will have made their glory and their fortune at least during the year 1982. Because the other covers like this one of the Three Degrees title dating from 1974 will not bring them more than that ...
1989...a last title that will not allow the trend to be reversed once again. When it no longer wants, it no longer wants, difficult to fight in these conditions...
