This is a segment from the mid sixties series Shindig. I remember that show well. It predated Hullabaloo and had some great performers and acts on kt.

@shmuli9: Yes, this was from Shindig. All of the performances on this show were played by their house band and sung by the singers "live." The women dancing in the background are "The Blossoms" featuring Darelen Love in the middle. They were regulars. I think the guys were "The Rivingtons." Another point of trivia is that Billy Preston was in the house band as well. Shindig moved so fast and was far superior to Hullabaloo! (Even thoughHullabaloo was in color!)

Actually the Last Exit To Brooklyn as this was titled is where I came from , Greenpoint , Brooklyn. Its become very popular in TV Shows lately ! Saw Gene Pitney at Murray the K's R&R Revues @ Brooklyn Fox ( Closed Now ) ! In early 60's and he was even better live then his recordings !!!!!

This is definitely from Shindig. I remember watching it. The male background singers are the Wellingtons who also sang the theme to Gilligans Island. As well as Billy Preston there was Bobby Sherman and Donna Loren as rebulars. On one show, Jerry Lee Lewis and Neil Sedaka performed together.

Is this from "Shindig"? Gene could have easily done opera if he wanted to... What a vocal range - too bad Mariah Carey doesn't use her voice to do this, rather than trilling every song she sings, as if it is more 'soulful'... I like almost everything I've ever heard from G.P. (a pun), but really I do...

I remember buying this record in 1965 when I was in high school and loved listening to it on my car radio (station KRLA-AM in Pasadena, CA ) Right now I'm searching my music collection trying to find it. Is it available to download or on a greatest hits compilation CD?

Last Exit to Brooklyn is a 1958 novel by Hubert Selby Jr. that depicts the lives of the poor and marginalized residents of Brooklyn in the 1950s. The novel consists of loosely connected stories that involve crime, violence, poverty, drug-use, sex work, and sexual minorities. The book was controversial and banned all across the USA Gene Pitney had some balls doing a song tribute to the book, live, when most acts on TV would of lyp synched. He caught hell for this song and remains one of Americas most reliable rock n rollers, ever.
