The Life & Death of GENE PITNEY

[@KarlBean-pb9zf]

Always appreciated Gene and been a fan since the early 60’s. A very unique recording artist.

[@roger2008100]

What a treat. He always kept such a low profile. Bless him.

[@evileyes4070]

Another great one❤ Gene Pitney was always big in our household. Nobody has the vocals like Gene. ❤

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Wasn't he amazing! Grew up listening to him in our house too 😁 His voice at the end of I'm Gonna Be Strong gives me goosebumps, its just so powerful and full of emotion 🥰 Thanks evil eyes for your kind words and support as always dear friend 🤗❣

[@evileyes4070]

[@dianekelly2212]

I saw gene 5 times each time he came to the uk I booked up I loved gene ❤️

[@DeidreL9]

I’ll never forget when he was on the Don Lane Show, and he appeared just after Jerry Lee Lewis gave a shocking performance. Gene called him out on it, he said basically you don’t give your audience rubbish, you do your best. I was so impressed by his stance. I love his voice. The duet with Marc Almond is very dear to me. He was an unusually charismatic man, truly one of a kind. Thank you so much for another excellent video!

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Wow would have loved to have seen that episode! 🤣 I was shocked at how hard working Gene was, all he did was work. He didn't get into drugs or anything from what I found and really appreciated his fans and loved his music. Just an all round amazing artist and person also 💝 Thanks as always Deidre 🥰❤

[@DeidreL9]

@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv oh Jerry Lee was terrible! I agree with how incredible Gene’s work ethic was, he was a true professional and he could tell how disappointed people were by Jerry’s lack of effort. He got a huge round of applause for what he said and yet there was not one profanity nor any meanness. Classy gentleman all the way. And you’re very welcome my friend!🤗

[@MrsJHarrington]

@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv you’re most welcome my friend, he truly was a man to be respected, and yes he sure was hard working! ❤️😊

[@cindythomas8140]

I loved his voice

[@PatriciaLittle-t5b]

The one and only. Love you Gene. So many memories❤

[@chrisgrant845]

The man is a legend .

[@geanettepartington691]

Burt Bacharach wrote a number of songs, for this guy. "Only 24 Hours from Tulsa," was one.

[@Brendan-q2j]

Brilliant series this. Didn't know that he had passed on.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

You are the greatest my friend! Thank you! 😊👍💯

[@jaynerichardson3807]

Well that made a boring Saturday night a lot more interesting. He had a very distinctive voice something different. Thank you for that as always ❤❤

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thanks Jayne 🤗 Always awesome to see you 🤩

[@shanewilliams3453]

I always remember john laws on radio station 2ue in Sydney interviewing gene pitney a few months before his death what a nice bloke thank you mate another great video Shane in Sydney 🦘 🇦🇺

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

The first song I have a recollection of, hearing on the radio as a small child, was It hurts to be in love. I did not understand all the words.

[@RalphOnofrio]

My good friend,Marty Kugell,was Gene's first producer in New Haven ct..And is the guy that told Gene..Lose Billy Bryan,go by Gene Pitney...And he did.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Oh wow thank you for sharing that 😁 Its always nice to hear little titbits about our fave artists, makes us feel a little closer to them I guess 🥰 Thanks again 😃

[@3goldfinger]

Saw him in concert is Sydney Australia in the mid 70s.

[@EveWatkins-l5e]

I went to see Gene at our local music hall in the late 90's. As he was singing 24 hours from Tulsa, a lady in the front row got up and walked out. We felt for him, but when we got in to the foyer after the show, she was being attended to by an ambulance team.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Oh no, hope Gene didnt take it the wrong way. He was such an amazing performer and sorely missed ❤

[@chrisbacos]

Gene recorded the early Jagger-Richards composition That Girl Belongs To Yesterday

[@LauraLogan-g4l]

Twenty four hours from. Tulsa

[@JenniferFinlayson-n1o]

Did anyone remember Gene's hit single '24 Sycamore'?

[@clivestraw1913]

Classic record

[@johnwilson3842]

Beautiful song and brilliant recording by Gene.

[@raymondbonington9355]

Much bigger in the uk than back home .

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Pity, with today's arthroscopic surgery, they might have prolonged his life, if caught in time.

[@denisburgess2966]

He's a Rebel was sung by Darlene Love and the Blossoms and not the Crystal's.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

It may have also been done by Darlene Love but it was originally sang by The Crystals as I just had a look to verify 🙂👍

[@BakedRBeans]

@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv Produced by Phil Spector. I think it was this recording where Phil changed the vocal credit, for some reason. Need a Spector expert here!

[@maxinegray1587]

When Phil Spector rushed to New York to have this song recorded he was told that Vikki Carr had already recorded this song. His group, the Crystals, were on the West Coast so were not available. This is why Phil Spector used the Blossoms but credited his group, the Crystals, with this recording.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

@@maxinegray1587 Thank you so much for sorting that out 🥰 I always try and put the correct information in my videos and everywhere I looked online said the Crystals 😕 So it looks like @denisburgess was correct with the Blossoms performing on the track but the Crystals got the credit. Seems a bit unfair but that's how they did things back then I guess. Thanks again for clarifying that Maxine 😁👍💯

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

@@BakedRBeans You were right! 😃
