One Night I was singing Karaoke at Club Joe’s (RIP John) and the Blonde 👱♀️ 👱♀️ Twin DJ’s put Town without Pity on for me by mistake and I told her to leave it I know that song 🎵 it’s from a movie 🎥 I saw Sargent Carter in (Gomer Pile) and I blew the crowd away singing it
His love songs Just dissect the emotions that we feel in our relationships. Like I'm going to be strong, Half Heaven half heartache, backstage, 24 hours from Tulsa and others. His lyrics just kill it t o the depths of my soul!
I am 77 and listened to him as a teenager. I loved his records. Gene Pitney’s voice is one of a kind. He hosts highs, lows, mediums, he does that “cry” a lot while he is singing. I just have always loved him and when I close my eyes I am transported back to a 15-16 year old. Memories are forever. Thanks Gene for being a part of my life even though you never knew who I was. I felt I knew you and just loved your songs and that marvelous voice.
I’m 73 and loved his music growing up in the 60’s. “ Through the Eyes” and “I’m Gonna Be Strong” are my absolute favorites. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!❤
@@sonnysoldies5288I don't see a separate line to comment so I'm commenting from one of your comments but Gene Pitney is the best his lyrics and his music never disappoint and they are just at the top of the list of any rock and roll male singer especially. I had his songbook of hits and I played them on the piano especially the slow ones I was able to play more easily and they are so heartfelt and when the crystals recorded he's a rebel, that was something else. It was one of our ride in the car songs to Washington DC for a woman's March. These songs are so nostalgic and his voice just tugs at the heartstrings I never got to see him in person.
@@annefischer1433 He's from CT and I saw him just months before he passed away. I don't think he ever had a bad song and we were proud of him here in CT. Thanks for commenting.
GENE PITNEY had such a unique voice and he would often sing harmony with himself. The result was fantastic and it separated him from the other singers of his time. RIP Gene. We miss you.
I love Gene Pitney, right from being young and I still love him, I still listen to him every day, his voice was fantastic. He is my favourite along with Roy Orbison. You brighten my day every day Gene Thankyou. XXXX
Gene was and still is the greatest. Thank goodness I can watch and listen to videos of him. I only wish I had seen him in person. I have listened to him forever as he was born in 1940 and I was born in 1950 he has been my favorite since I was a teenager
Love this all Gene pitney songs best singer ever I play them loads of brill what you have done thank you for this post 📪📪📪 it's very difficult to pick a song because love all Gene pitney songs best singer ever if I had to pick it would be when the Angels Got. Together ❤ thank you very. Much appreciated
He was the "total package." And "Only Love Can break A Heart" is my all-time favorite Bacharach-David song (amidst a staggering catalog of their compositions).
Gene Pitney I was born in 1954 and ever since I can remember my aunt playing a record over and over of Gene Pitney his voice was so unique and whatever he sang was awesome to this day every nite I watch his last concert everytime I listen to him sing he’s still got it and will never lose that awesome voice. Rip Gene u will never be forgotten. My favorite song is If I didnt have a dime and of course Town without Pity but I love of his music he will be missed
Desde la primera vez que escuché a Gene me quedé prendado de su hermoso registro vocal, tuvo una voz inigualable, cada uno de sus temas fueron, son y seran INOLVIDABLES. la primera que recuerdo es Hello Mary Lou, que también la grabó Rick Nelson , después fue Every breath I take, desde ese momento me hice fan de Gene, luego The Crystals grabaron "He 's a rebel" y de inmediato salió Town Without Pity, quizás su tema más icónico, que fue un éxito por estos lares de sudamérica, el tema es tan hermoso que no necesita más palabras. Soy un enamorado de la música y uno de mis ídolos fue Gene Pitney, uno de los más grandes cantautores que ha entregado la música juvenil de los 60'. en mis años juveniles fui DJ, y una de mis joyas y exclusividad fue "Mecca" por más de 40 años, ese 45 rpm Musicor solo lo tenía yo. Gene gracias por darme tantos momentos de felicidad.
translation: From the first time I heard Gene I was captivated by his beautiful vocal range, he had an unmatched voice, each of his songs were, are and will be UNFORGETTABLE. The first one I remember was Hello Mary Lou, which was also recorded by Rick Nelson, then it was Every Breath I Take, from that moment on I became a fan of Gene, then The Crystals recorded "He's a Rebel" and immediately Town Without Pity came out. perhaps his most iconic song, which was a success in these parts of South America, the song is so beautiful that it does not need more words. I am a music lover and one of my idols was Gene Pitney, one of the greatest singer-songwriters who ever delivered youth music in the 60's. In my younger years I was a DJ, and one of my jewels and exclusivity was "Mecca" for more than 40 years, only I had that 45 rpm Musicor. Gene, thank you for giving me so many moments of happiness. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
❤I grew up like to gene when my older sister went to see him in the Adelphi on Abbey Street 1967 the year she was getting married iwas 12and still in school,as one of her flower girls she told her intended husband she fell in Love that night with gene he laughed and their marriage lasted until COVID took them so now there up in heaven together singing gene's hits ❤
Yeah ,thanks the reason I brought that up because someone posted a Webb Pierce version he did in 1957. Yes you are right I got it confused with Gene Pitney. Sonny did you see my requests on your days of the week album?
Bill Medley also does a version of it which is good, but not as good as Gene Pitney. I think it is the greatest song by Gene Pitney, and I have all these songs on vinyl and CD.😊👍

(I Wanna) Love My Life Away was heard in early 1961 not '63. This was Gene Pitney's first hit record.
@@ricmazur8620 Good catch...I don't usually make that type of error. If you had only mentioned how good it sounds I could have saved face a little.

@@sonnysoldies5288 it sounds good to me. It's my favorite Gene Pitney song!

💕 love love. Thank you. Gene’s voice is incredible and so unique. RIP sweet man. 😇
Thanks for commenting and did you see Volume Two? th-cam.com/video/43YEgytLRfQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eqINnXtZLhnPlRhK
Love the music of Gene Pitney.
Gene is timeless. I've been listening to him for 60 years and I never get tired. I may have aged but his music hasn't
Snap I was about 10, loved him all my life. Been to three concerts and I'm 70 ❤
I was 10 years in 1962 when Gene became really popular. Between my portable radio and hanging out in the record stores I became a lifelong fan.
Thankful for the net to bring out favorites back to us. Thank you

Don’t remember listening to him in the 60’s. Guess I was too busy having babies. 😊
Gene was my teen idol ❤️

Never heard that one but it's on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/PRCzyBaYCJU/w-d-xo.html
Gene meravigliosa voce
i wonder if Gene is playing the drums? Love them.
Gene and Phil Spector for "Every Breath..."
Sonny thanks for posting wonderful memories. Didn't Gene also sing "Missing you" ?
Which he sings accompanied by a piano?
I only know of Ray Peterson singing it.
Yeah ,thanks the reason I brought that up because someone posted a Webb Pierce version he did in 1957. Yes you are right I got it confused with Gene Pitney. Sonny did you see my requests on your days of the week album?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
I’m going to be strong. Is his version the first?
Frankie Laine in 1963 but couldn't compare to Gene's version.
Bill Medley also does a version of it which is good, but not as good as Gene Pitney. I think it is the greatest song by Gene Pitney, and I have all these songs on vinyl and CD.😊👍
Hello sonny it's Kathie
Up there with the greats is GP👌👏👍🥇
Oh gene ❤❤❤❤
