OMG. Great. I've fallen in love with a marvellous dead man! Sigh. What a great man. What a great voice! A true legend of music. Gene Pitney's music should be in EVERY person's home to listen to forever. RIP Gene. Much love. xxxxxx

Gene Pitney visited Newcastle, Australia on a number of occasions and every time he came, his concerts were sold out - "House Full"! And no wonder! His was a great talent and magic to watch and hear him perform.

Fabulous interview, thanks so much for posting this treasure. Gene is my favorite male singer of all time, no one sounds like him. It's so hard to believe he's gone, he left us way too soon. 40 yrs of Gene Pitney was no where near long enough, but I'm still grateful for all the songs and all the magnificent performances. Thanks again.

I have his greatest hits CD. When I was a kid back in 1962..I thought Gene Pitney was soooooooooo handsome! And his records are awesome. Even then I knew What good music was! In these interviews with gene......he looks like a difference person and his voice sounds like another person. He sure looked healthy to me...like he can go on forever.... just a great talent!!!!!

I couldn't quite put my finger on the one word to describe Gene Pitney's singing. "Passion" is that word. He definitely exudes passion when he sings no matter what the song is. I was lucky enough to see him perform live when I was 19 years old in 1968. I sure wish I had seen him in his later years. I never stopped loving his music. He's still one of my very favorite singers.

Hi Olivia! Great to hear from you! I hope that you and Gene's children and survivors are faring well. I was shocked when I heard of his passing, his voice and music were such a big part of my youth. If you took Gene out of the foundation of pop music the entire structure would collapse, he is such an integral part of it. Good news is that his voice has the power to reach across decades to us to charge up our emotional batteries still.

A late reply but I did want to say that many of the songs Gene had done were very, very well done and I continue to listen and play these recordings but an exceptional one to me was "Something's gotten a hold of my heart" . Definitely a favorite. I have heard others do this song and have to say it is nearly impossible to improve upon. Olivia, your uncle's singing was and continues to be a treasure.

Loved his songs growing up in the 60s-I met him while I was working the grave shift at a small mom and pop store back in 1976-he was traveling to do a show in Allentown Pennsylvania and he stopped for some Dristan Sinus Medicine cause he had a bad headache-he purchased the medication-a pack of Juicy Fruit Gum-a Butterscotch TastyKake Krimpet and a Ma's Old Fashioned Can of ice tea-he pulled out a $5 Bill and signed it and gave it to me-Dear God I still treasure that $5-RIP-Gene-Paul was here-04-28-16.

I have a German CD issue on the Bear Family label which features Pitney singing a German lyric for a song called "Bleibe Bei Mir"(English translation: "Stay By Me") which was recorded over the "Town Without Pity" musical backing. It was ostensibly a German version of Town Without Pity but the lyrics sung, made it a completely different song indeed, with the only thing in common with what it was supposed to be, being the backing music.
