Yes, Gene Pitney had a superb characteristic singing voice and no body has ever come close to his unique style. He wrote and composed all of his songs... pure genius. The good always die young!
sorry kids of today.....this is musik. A timeless masterpiece for a bygone epoch with rebellion, imagination and fantasy.Nothing can bring back memories better,than a song which he was once connected with.
I heard a rumour that Roy Orbison actually hit the end note on this and they blended the voices together ? anyone else hear this ? Whatever is the truth, its one damned great song. Gene had a great distinctive voice !
RIP GENE PITNEY, I loved all your beautiful and heart-touching songs. They bring back a flood of memories when many families members were, alive and kicking, especially Mom. All jamming on your songs.Thank you!
