Dear Gene, 33 years ago I introduced you to my husband as we drove from GA to ME so I could meet his family on our 2nd wedding anniversary. I had your songs on a tape I copied from your album. He fell in love with your music. He loves us both still! Thanks for your soulful tones and the belt in the gut when you hit those high notes. I still get chills every time.

[@deedsievering5108]

My opinion, Gene Pitney was one of the great singers; this song in particular, pulled at your heart strings, made you feel that the love you thought you had lost could maybe be retrieved, with just one kiss. . .Gene was great.

[@judymurray9941]

I knew Gene when I worked for a Dentist in Rockville, Conn. Many years ago. He was a patient, and I was so nervous each time he came in. Always loved his music. Still do. I have a 45 rpm he signed for me in 1961. "To the Southern Belle I love with Every Breath I take".
