Gene was wonderfull I saw him live in 1986 at hull city hall. He was brilliant.he was taken from us years too young. He was a brilliant musical all round talent. A great singer. songwriter . musician . His son Todd is a guitar player. Gene throughtly deserved his place in the rock and roll hall of fame. Now they should induct another of my favourites the wonderfull Neil sedaka. From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it.

His autopsy found that he had a congenital heart disease according to his bio. He'd done a long show the previous night, ending his show with 'Town without Pity'. When his manager found him dead the next morning, he was on the bed still fully dressed from his show the night before. He was in Cardiff Wales. He spoke so clearly, I always wondered why when he sang, some of the words sounded strange. Bless him, RIP. 'Town without Pitney' xx

1962, Williamsport, PA I had the pleasure of MCing his show after which I ask him what he was doing after the show. He quickly said, going back to my hotel. I said why don't you come to my house and we'll watch the old Tonight Show? He said sure! You should have seen the look on my wife's face when we walked in! She was in her bathrobe and hair in curlers. If looks could kill!! Just one final note. When you stand next to Gene, his voice was so powerful you had to move away because it hurt your ears. He's gone but never forgotten! RIP Gene. Bill Stutzman

Gene Pitney had access to the best medical care in the world, took care of himself, exercised, ate right, did all of the things supposedly necessary to take care of your health. How does he die from hardening of the arteries? Can you be tested for that? Or do you have to actually die before it's made known to you that your arteries are blocked? Why did a good family man like him have to die? It bothers me.

Diagnostics at the time vs today. CT scans can pick up specific areas of damaged coronary arteries. Also, a heart at rest vs at stress (full load exercise i.e. treadmill at extreme angle for 3 minutes can pick up stuff. AIDS was a death sentence 15 years ago - now it can be cured or maintained. Pitney was a fantastic singer, composer, father and husband. His music will live on long after his death.

As Jamie & Jane, Gene's partner was Ginny Mazarro(reference: "Gene Pitney - Hits & Misses" Bear Family Records CD issue BCD-15 724AH) The surname 'Arnell' is not referred to in the booklet that accompanies the CD and in ALL mentions, she is referred to as Ginny Mazarro. The CD is German issue but the booklet is in English as the compilation was intended for international release.

I was Gene's biggest fan and I sang all of his songs as an entertainer myself and even named my second son 'Gene' too. I saw him perform several times and also met him personally. Don't want to be critical here, but Gene did develop a style - a harshness in his voice in his latter years which wasn't pleasant to listen to. For example, if you listen to Gene's recording of 'Town without Pity, his voice is very mellow and seductive, but hearing it live, he changed his style and made it abrupt and harsh. Apart from this small criticism, a very unique voice and one in a million. He was instrumental in making me leave Uni and pursue an entertainment career, celebrating my 52nd year in showbiz this year. Sorry to lose him so early.

I did notice the change in Gene's voice as the years went by, but Gene's vocal ability was extraordinary and one could not expect him to maintain those amazing high notes as his vocal chords matured. i could sing when i was younger, but as my vocal chords matured i sounded appalling! Gene continued to wow fans at sell out shows, so the fans were clearly happy.

Labels in Britain and Australia carrying Gene Pitney, and their distribution(historically) -In Australia: Coronet; United Artists; CBS(all distributed by Australian Record Company) until about 1970/71, then Interfusion and Musicor(distributed by Festival), then Bronze(distributed by Warner). UA eventually went to Festival, then EMI. Bronze started with Warner then went to Festival. In Britain: United Artists until 1964 then Stateside(both labels under EMI), then Musicor(likely EMI) then Bronze(Warners) Period referred to, 1960 to 1975. After that I have no information.
