No glitz, no props, no scandals, he just sang & put everything he had in it. Worked at his craft & just performed. Married his high school sweetheart & they raised their family. An incredible voice & talent. Used that voice & talent on his terms. Saw a performance in person. Even more incredible. RIP Gene.
Yes. I think this might have been a pass from the Drifters and John Schroeder produced it like an Atlantic record anyway. Oops, of course, it's a Phil Spector record.
Gene Pitney was way before his time other artists back in the '60s couldn't do hardly anything like him. He was a genius a talented songwriter musician composer you name it he could do it. Sadly he left us way too early He was in his early '60s truly one great musician... He has loads of hits but this one here I believe is my absolute favorite by him...
The great Gene Pitney. His singing voice grabbed me the first time I heard him sing . "Every breath I take", I played over and over. Gene 's vocalization and instrumentation for the 60's were unique to his style of singing. The message in his songs made one feel the love or heartbreak going back to great days of rock & roll.
He was a God when I was in HS, and I have loved "him with every breath I take!" What a glorious heavenly voice! I & my best friend, (also maid of honor,) got to see him in person, and he told the audience his favorite composition, (song) was "24 Hours From Tulsa!!" What an amazing time in my life!! Nothing but LOVE & LYRICS!! ❤❤❤🤗🤗
My dear mother played this when I was boy while she done house work on a old record player crackling away dinner on the go, the smell of furniture polish and fly spray, the bastards flies she called them, miss you mum❤️
So talented. Writer, producer, vocalist, visionary. On this song, Gene Pitney was produced by Phil Spector. Naturally, you hear that wonderful wall Of sound in every note. Pitney made everybody look good, including the artist who wrote their songs for.
Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound produced signature, emotional creations like this, utilizing Pitney's superb falsetto. This was my favorite from Gene. Others: Half Heaven, Half Heartache, Looking Through the Eyes of Love, Mecca, I'm Gonna Be Strong, True Love Never Runs Smooth. Early 1960s - greatest pop music mini-period in my memory, and my high school years.
Fabulous !!! I recommend every Pitney fan to watch the concert he did in Italy. You're going to see a Gene we didn't see here in the States. Trust me on this one, it blew me away !!!
I was only 2 in 1962 and iv only just discovered this music and 💘 love this music and 💘 love Gene Pitney and his lovely voice too.Im now 62 years old.Rest in peace lovely man
Whatever you feel about today's news and the passing of Phil Spector, this song was an excellent example of a sign of things to come and a fantastic Pitney song,
Saw Gene Pitney at The Fiesta Club, Stockton on Tees when Night Clubs were plush places and a lively night out in the mid to late 60's. What a powerful voice he had.
@@brendakempf2869 Gene must have liked our club because he came back a few times, I think I saw him twice. A lovely man who sounded just like his records including that final soaring note at the end of 'I'm Gonna Be Strong'. Made your hair stand on end!!
Correction: it was Club Fiesta (not The Fiesta Club). How could I have forgotten - it's only 5 decades ago!! Also saw Dusty & Ben E. King and a few other big names. Wonderful memories.
What the hell just happen to me ? I was born in 90 but stuck in the classic rhtym world ... damn .. from bottom of my heart i really love classic ryhtm ...
World Day of Music - June 21, 2024 (and also a chance to pay trubute to my late sister on her birthday*): My sister Joan and I would 'cruise' for hours listening to our fave music, which seemed to dovetail...Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, Jerry Butler, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Aretha Franklin, etc
Absolutely no one. They are all scared to even try. Ever wonder why you rarely hear a cover of Roy Orbison? No one can hit the high notes. Same with Pitney.
No glitz, no props, no scandals, he just sang & put everything he had in it. Worked at his craft & just performed. Married his high school sweetheart & they raised their family. An incredible voice & talent. Used that voice & talent on his terms. Saw a performance in person. Even more incredible. RIP Gene.
This is perhaps the most amazing vocal performance of the rock era. Simply stunning.
Yes. I think this might have been a pass from the Drifters and John Schroeder produced it like an Atlantic record anyway. Oops, of course, it's a Phil Spector record.
Du hast recht
Phil Spector erkennt man sofort
With out doubt This is the best song Gene ever made.
I'm a senior citizen and I've never heard such a unique & beautiful voice as his!
Underrated, under appreciated. The amazing Gene Pitney. And then there was his songwriting....."He's A Rebel" and more
Gene Pitney was way before his time other artists back in the '60s couldn't do hardly anything like him. He was a genius a talented songwriter musician composer you name it he could do it. Sadly he left us way too early He was in his early '60s truly one great musician... He has loads of hits but this one here I believe is my absolute favorite by him...
Christmas 1970 - Gene Pitney's Greatest Hits & Righteous Brothers's Greatest Hits (plus others). BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!
His voice still gives me chills. Love it even after all these years. Truly an artist.

I'm 58yrs old and I loved Gene Pitney when I was 13, God bless you Gene and Thankyou so much for your brilliant voice this is one of my favourite, xo
Hermosa canción!❤ la acabo de descubrir...una maravilla!!!!😊

Saw gene a couple of times and he never disappointed me.such a marvellous unique voice
.RIP Gene,you’ll be sorely missed
My dear mother played this when I was boy while she done house work on a old record player crackling away dinner on the go, the smell of furniture polish and fly spray, the bastards flies she called them, miss you mum❤️
That certainly was a Wonderful moment ... watching her clean the house, with such a Great song and voice !
Unforgettable indeed !
Gene Pitney had such a great voice and unique style. Kids today don't have a clue about such a great talent that was Gene Pitney.
You are 100 % right....
I’m 33 I grew up listening to gene and a bunch of other great artists
Today’s pop music is computerised junk😂
And such a lovely person, so good to his fans.

Hal Blaine on drums. His unmistakable sound!!
Great singing by Gene Pitney,great production and arrangement by Phil Spector!
Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King
Thanks... did not know about Spector.

A true legend. Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert once. A truly unique voice. Much missed.

Saw him in N.Zealand early 90s, he was as good live as he was on record!
You were very fortunate. I would have given anything to have seen Gene Pitney in person.

A MASTERPIECE in vocal, instrumentation, production, arrangement, and visuals.
You can thank Phil Spector for the musical arrangement. The man is crazy, but still a musical genius.
Certainly. A match-up made in musical heaven.
Superb vocal from Gene & arrangement by Phil Spectre!!!👍🤗

Yep I agree with all your comments..

Wow, thank you for this awesome video. The most beautiful men and women from good old hollywood and the voice of Gene Pitney. Fantastic
What a voice, ❤️
i love how these old songs are in the background of these old movies
Maybe Gene Pitney's greatest, and possibly one of the greatest doo wop hits of that era.

My favourite song and singer and those musicians - brilliant. For me, a masterpiece!

What the hell just happen to me ? I was born in 90 but stuck in the classic rhtym world ... damn .. from bottom of my heart i really love classic ryhtm ...

Sweetheart it just means you have excellent taste in music OR you're an old soul who has excellent taste in music. :o)
I loved this song so many years ago. 😓
Jahrzehntelang diese schöne Lieder ->> warum geht alles verloren???? Back to the roods, es wäre wirklich schön
in my broken Deutsch, ich finde es auch ganz schön
Gene Pitney vyzpíva úžasné výšky,to se jen tak neslyší! Paráda!
Wonderful. Thank you!
Awsome song , what a voice he had beautiful
Verliefd op zijn stem zo goed ❤
I would love to see the orchestra working as Gene sang this outstanding piece.
Amazing voice best singer ever never will be forgotten ❤️❤️👏👏👏
I love this song, you did an awesome job of putting this together. Thanks for sharing.
awesome
A sua voz aguda, inalterável, o seu carisma, o seu repertório de perfeitas melodias, tornaram Gene Pitney imortal.
Whatever else you might think, many artists of that era (Tina Turner comes to mind) owe their success to the genius that was Phil Spector!-)
Bonus points if you recognize the genius of Phil Spector in this song’s production.
Good Summer of ‘61 doowop hit with drums!
Love this song thank you only one who can sing any thing wow God bless you gene
Gene Pitney was awesome i love his voice ❤

Thanks for the BRILLIANT visuals accompanying this song. KUDOS!
A true singer. Right there with Bobby and the best.
Great remix; love this song and the video. Thank you for doing this!
Brilliant!!
The last few verses, woo hoo, I would like to know who could do that now...
Absolutely no one. They are all scared to even try. Ever wonder why you rarely hear a cover of Roy Orbison? No one can hit the high notes. Same with Pitney.
Best kiss ever in the movies Old school…. Old time….. thank’ a lot paddy !!!!
you did a great job here, he fits with the golden hollywood era well
I'm surprised nobody has sampled that beat for some hip hop. At least I haven't found it yet.

This is a great record..
gene pitney, geeze where the heck did he get that voice. Darwin?
It's same way with me concerning HRH the CHRIST
And love is soft tenderness not ever cruel harm hurting abuse
Cruel to be kind has no place in love, that cruelty is twisted sickness
ich liebe diesen song
Love is abounding
This song reminds me of a girl I had a crush on in Steelville, MO.
Great great song
чудо... 😍
EXCELENTE TRABAJO
❤❤❤❤
Carole King wrote this great song
❤
Put this video in a rocket and send it out into another galaxy to show aliens what it is to be a human. Gene “the hit maker” Pitney
