These eyes The Guess Who (1969)

These Eyes is a song by the Canadian rock band The Guess Who. The song was cowritten by the group s lead guitarist Randy Bachman and lead singer Burton Cummings and originally included on the band s 1969 album Wheatfield Soul. It was first released as a single (backed by Lightfoot ), in their native Canada, where its chart success (, 7), along with the influence of CKLWAM Windsor s radio station music director Rosalie Trombley, helped land them a U. S. distribution deal with RCA Records. It was then released in the U. S. In March 1969, and became a breakthrough success for the group, as it would be their first single to reach the top ten on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking at number six, and would eventually be certified gold by the RIAA for sales of over one million copies.
