no shame in respecting the greats (and your elders like me ). Without guys like Pitney we would not have the music we have today.
Excellent post Sir!

And he died in Wales. A fitting resting place to a great talent.

There is absolutely no — none whatsoever — reason to apologize for being a fan of Gene Pitney. The guy was simply amazing. And if some people are alienated by your paying tribute to such a great, then you’re better off without them. You don’t want to associate with those kinds of people anyway!

yeah..i saw the news on the bbc website this morning that he was on his way to the great gig in the sky. i always liked his stuff even though his voice was a bit dicky at times. his duet with marc almond is a killer…fantastic. i wonder who will be next..seems every other day some great icon passes over. no i don’t think i will specualte as i am kind of superstitious about that kind of thing. thanks for the tracks. i will burn a candle and warble along.

Thanks so much for these posts. Pitney was such a talent; I am sad to know that he is gone.

BTW, would it be possible to check the link to "Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa"? ... it is not working for me just now.

Thanks again!
