The Lettermen were unknown until they signed with Capitol Records in
1961.
Their first single for Capitol, "The Way You
Look Tonight," succeeded
on the Billboard Hot
100 pop chart, and
their next, "When I
Fall in Love," reached the Top 10 in late 1962. They
had several
other Top 10 hits, such as the
1965's, "Theme From
A Summer Place". In late
1967 Bob Engemann resigned, and was replaced by Jim Pike's younger
brother, Gary
Pike. The hits continued with the 1968 medley "Goin'
Out of My Head"/"Can't
Take My Eyes Off You", and
in 1968 with "Put
Your Head on My Shoulder",
plus 1969's "Hurt So Bad", which reached number 12. The last successful
single
was in 1972, "Love" a solo by Pike.
The Lettermen have had 32 consecutive Billboard
Magazine chart albums, 11 gold
records, five Grammy nominations,
an Andy
Award, and a Cleo Award. In 1976, Jim Pike left the group and sold the
Lettermen
name to Butala.
In 1981 Gary Pike left the Lettermen, and today Jim and Gary Pike,
along with
Ric de Azevedo, sing The Lettermen hits, billed as Reunion.
In 1961, The Lettermen started performing live concerts doing over 100
shows a year, an unbroken
string that continues to the present now amounting to 49 years.
Over the decades, the group has had various line-ups, replacing
members who
left for various reasons with new people to maintain a trio.
Tony Butala, who (as of 2009) is still a
member, has stated that the group ethos is that of three strong soloists
that
harmonize, and that the group encourages individual singing and songwriting.
He has also stated that the current
combination of members, which includes Donovan Tea and Mark Preston
(first
singing together from 1984 until 1988, and now together again since
2006) is the
best combination of voices, and best sounding group since the original
trio.
They pride themselves in welcoming audience member photographs during the show, unlike many recording acts.
The Lettermen Goin' Out of my Head / Can't
Take my Eyes
Off you
(Medley) Lyrics:
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head [4] .

Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head,
Over you, over you.
I want
you to want me.
I need you so badly,
I can't think of anything but
you...

...'re just too good to be true.
[Applause.]
Can't
take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you
so much.
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off of you.


Goin' out of my head over you,
Out of my head over you,
Out of
my head day and night,
Night and day and night,
Wrong or right.


I love you, baby.
[Applause, wolf whistling.]
And if it's
quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm the lonely night.
I love
you, baby.
Trust in me when I say,
Oh! Pretty baby,
Don't bring me
down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby,
Now that I've found you, stay.
And
let me love you, baby,
Let me love you.

I want you to want me.
I
need you so badly,

I
can't think of anything but you.

Goin' out of my head over you.

/(Can't take my eyes off of you).
Out of my head over you.
/(You're
just to good to be true).
Out of my head, day and night,
Night and day
and night, wrong or right.
Night and day and night, wrong or right.

Night and day and night.

And I think I'm goin' out of my head.
