Re: Gene Pitney
 

He was a great singer.

I loved his duet with Marc Almond of 'Something's gotten hold of my heart,' or whatever the title was.

Re: Gene Pitney
 

i think i liked Town without pity best...

Re: Gene Pitney
 

'24 Hours from Tulsa' must be one of the best pop records of all time too.

Re: Gene Pitney
 

I felt sad when I heard the news today. I remember going to see him at Blackpool, sometime during the sixties, when I was a youngster.

He sat on the edge of the stage at one point and sang his heart out. That earned him a pic on my bedroom wall along with Cliff and Herman!

Great singer, my mum told me he was a millionair at 25.. well deserved!

Re: Gene Pitney
 

Some great songs but I,m with you grannyclaret, I liked "Town without pity" best. By the way we just got back from 4 weeks in Palm Springs, great time.

Last saw Gene Pitney at a concert on the Gold Coast in Queensland...... probably 12 yrs ago.......what a fabulous night that was.....and he was always the perfect entertainer.......came home and was still excited by his performance for weeks......he will be sadly missed by lots of people....

A star who carried on dispite not needing to. As a performer he was unique with a distinct style discribed as "pop arria" and a unique unmistakeable voice. It seems as though he died happy in his own way after giving a concert and will be missed.

Re: Gene Pitney
 

Very sad, may he rest in peace.

I went to see Gene at southport 5 years ago, he left that Hall to a standing ovation, I was hoping to see him again but kept putting it off and now its to late, but at least I saw him, it really knocked me for six yesterday.

Rest in peace Gene.
