Summary: a singer songwriter for every man
Comment: Jene Pitney had a voice that could make you feel that he sang to you alone. His ablity to over dub made his sound bigger and brighter. Over seas he was givin his rightful due on his ablity to sing and take a song and make it his own. When a song came on and you heard his voice you knew who it was. England gave him his due. Spain, Italy and other european countries. I regret that I will never be able to see him again, a giant of music has left us. He will be missed. Thank you for all the music I will play it always. To his family my heartfelt thanks for shareing him with the world. Jerry

Summary: Gene Pitney - what a classic performer
Comment: There are songs on this CD which I don't remember ever hearing before. A new favorite is "Yours Until Tomorrow," written by Carole King/Gerry Goffin. I so regret not being able to see Gene Pitney in a live performance before he died several years ago. What a fantastic voice he had. This CD is quite wonderful, and has 25 tracks on it - a long one!

Summary: It's the Pits!
Comment: There is a misconception about the early '60's.
Some think that Rock and Rock started 1n 1955 with Elvis, sat back through the Army years while Doo Wop elbowed hits and nothin' but slicked back hair Boys like Fabian tried to fill the void. Girl groups and novelity songs ruled... NOT SO!
Proof is Gene Pitney
He wrote, produced such great songs like, "I Wanna Love My Life Away","Every Breath I Take". He took Buddy Holly's belief that rock and roll + a sense of vocal ease could make hits. And he did.
Throughout the early '60's, Gene had hit upon hit + recorded with
Liberty label mate Country music icon George Jones.
Maybe Gene should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just for writing
"Hello Mary Lou" !
This CD sounds terrific, has great stereo separation. It has an informative booklet. It is worth going to RnR "Mecca"!
