Okay, so Heath Ledger obviously didn’t write this song but hey, neither did the original performer, Frankie Valli. However, it was brought to my attention that today’s date makes five years since Heath passed away. In honor of his memory, here’s his classic singing scene from the 1999 movie, 10 Things I Hate About You. I remember being in my film class during college when the news broke about his death. My friend and I featured the clip above in one of our projects.
The original version of Can’t Take My Eyes Off You was released in May of 1967. It was written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. It went to #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and earned a gold record.
Heath was nominated for Best Musical Sequence in the 2000 MTV Movie Awards.

Rest in Peace, Heath Ledger. Never Forgotten.
