I adore Gene Pitney! Had a teen crush on him, many years ago! I had the pleasure of meeting him once during one of his Shower of Stars shows in the 60's! I have never forgot that, to this day I tell everyone it was a very big deal for me, and it was! I was a big fan then and still am! He was a great singer! RIP Gene!
to all the people out there ,who like me , were there from the beginning ,we were the lucky ones . his likes will never come again .and thanks to youtube and all its contributors i can relive those memoriesover and over again
Gene is part of my youth and I would have loved to have seen him live. I have been mourning him a lot these past few weeks and I don't know why. It's like he's touching his fans from the great beyond. RIP Gene. You were truly one of a kind. I will be listening to your music till we meet in the great beyond and I finally get to hear you live with a celestial band backing up that incredible voice.
I have heard him make these comments in person before. I used to work out with him in East Longmeadow and he told me many stories and was as warm and friendly and down to earth as any one could be. We all miss him a lot!.
@xoxoNayNay1234 I wonder if he ever knew that those who grew up listening to his music and attending his concerts as young teens would still be loving his music now? 13 at my first GP concert, he was very young but always had the voice that would make young girls scream, and swoon at how handsome he was!
This is a wonderful tribute, covers a lot of his famouse hits, I used to go and see Gene whenever he came to England, all of my family also came along, my daughter as well as my son are big fans of Gene and love his music, we all miss him, he is irreplacable and a great brilliant performer like no other. Thanks for posting this video.
How I miss Gene. We love ya, Gene. Gene and I chatted on AOL IM for many years until he died, and I saw him every chance I could in concert. I was in Sydney, Australia when I learned of his passing.
Climbing out of SYD I tuned in local radio on the aircraft ADF radio (I flew a 747 for a major airline) and they were playing Gene's tunes in a tribute all the next day. Gene loved Australia, and they loved him.
It`s great to have stumbled across these superb records by Gene!! Tony Lee is appearing in a Gene Pitney Tribute Show at the Hilton Hotel, Derby UK on 18th Oct...see his website for more details.

@linnyloupa What young girl DIDN'T have a crush on him? At one concert I was up by the stage at the end of the show and he kissed my hand...thought I'd faint!
I saw him about half dozen times and he was always great! He's missed xoxo
Pitney died on April 5, 2006 at the age of 66. He was found dead by his tour manager in the Hilton Hotel in Cardiff, Wales in the middle of a UK tour. His Final Show at Cardiff's St David's Hall was deemed a huge success, with a standing ovation. An autopsy confirmed the singer died of natural causes.
great singer, I saw him many years ago in leeds he was fantastic,im gonna be strong being my all time favourite the music industry lost a very talented artist one of the greats
Thank you so much for having this here. Today is the anniversary of the passing of Gene Pitney. I love the man and his music. He is truly missed. He was a very gifted man with a unique talent. The world is a better place because of Gene Pitney. Someday Mr. Pitney, you will sing for me again.
fantastic to see him on here- thank god for you tube.
I saw Gene in Manchester in the mid-seventies. ABSOLUTELY CHARISMATIC! If only you could turn the clock back sometimes. That would be one of my moments.
Gene Pitney is one of my all-time favorites. What a fantastic singer. I was fortunate to see him in concert several years ago. It's truly one of the highlights of my life. Thank you, GenePitneyFan, for putting together this remarkable tribute.
Thank you, GenePitneyFan, for this well done collage of the late, great Gene Pitney. I especially enjoyed the interview. You can tell how nice of a guy he actually was, also. Very natural and at ease.
Thank you SO much for this. My brother and I loved Gene Pitney when we were kids. I've kept up with him all these years and so sad he died. His voice is forever and one of the best. My fav is Half Heaven Half Heartache. I don't think he ever sang a "bad" song in his life. Thanks again!
You did a fantastic job on this - thank you so much for it! I saw GP when he last played in Detroit in 1983. His parting remark was, "I was last here in 1968 - I promise it won't be another 15 years..." Well, he couldn't keep that promise, but we have these videos. Thanks again.
thnks for this - my mum was a huge fan - we were gonna see him in bristol the day he died. mum died last month and we played I'm gonna be strong at the funeral, always feel close to her when i play gene pitney
There was no one like Gene. No one.
