Gene was great!!!!! His pop hits were well crafted , well produced and he posessed a powerful voice.....so unique! He also rode the wave of the British Invasion and very popular in Italy ....this added to Gene Pitneys global appeal!!!! This is one guy that left us too soon....he's loved and missed by millions of fans!

I met Gene Pitney, I got to know him and parts of him that no one knew about him strong with voice and his heart was so rare that you couldn't help not falling in love with him as I did , on a napkin ( please forgive me I dident mean to scare you sometimes Iam dumb only trying to protect you from hurting yourself Ray he was forgiven) From our feelings for each other from the very beginning within without what ever time and life will bring my love Gene Pitney , He was the best .close to my heart always M.LM

I've oftened spoke him for many years ago. And oftened had contact only by mail. In 1996 I performed his song I'm gonna be strong for the Dutch television Soundmixshow. And he was very pleased about it. Gene was a very beautifull and warm person. And all his fans knows that. he made so many beautyfull songs. Performed them. And wrote hits for others. Ricky Nelson ( Hello Mary Lou)...Roy Orbison ( Todays teardrops) , The Shirless ( He's a rebel) and so many ,many more. Today I remember his words when he said to my: Erik, you have so many wonderfull things in life...So ..go for it. And I'm remebering Gene Francis Pitney as a very warm and personal man.

On this day in 1966 {June 23rd} Gene Pitney performed "Backstage" on the ABC-TV program 'Where the Action Is'... Eighteen days earlier {June 5th} was its last day on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it had peaked at #25 {for 1 week} on May 22nd, 1966 and spent 8 weeks on the chart... On June 6th, 1966 it reached #2 {for 1 week} on the Canadian Kennedy Weekly Singles chart; the week it was at #2, the #1 record was "When A Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge... Between 1961 and 1969 he had twenty-three Top 100 records; four made the Top 10 with "Only Love Can Break a Heart" being his biggest hit, it peaked at #2* {for 1 week} on October 28th, 1962... Gene Francis Alan Pitney passed away on April 5th, 2006 at the age of 66... May he R.I.P. * The week that "Only Love Can Break a Heart" was at #2, it was kept out of the top spot by a song that he wrote, "He's A Rebel" by the Crystals...

This masterpiece needs to be re-mastered for better audio quality. Drums and bass end everything in the mid to low end needs to be brought up and cleaned up. I think Gene Pitney (RIP) would want to get this fixed. I don't know how, but: #mutelybird KZitem has the skills.
