Voice is a little like Ben E Kings from the Drifters. What got my attention was that the song was arranged by Jack Nitsche who was a genius of a producer .. especially for Neil Young. And Gene Pitney is so underrated and forgotten as a great singer and wrote hits for others.
Sadly, the generation of today have no idea how to write, and make music. Juke Box play's music which mean's the old box is no more. If only our youth of today weren't stuck on stupid.
@garymichael1950 I've found two lineups for The Furys on various websites. The first was Jerome Evans (baritone lead), with Robert Washington, Melvin White, George Taylor, and Jimmy Green. The other was Jerome Evans (baritone lead), with Charles Jackson (tenor), Tony Allen (tenor), and Jimmy Green (tenor). Everything I've read says that Jerome Evans was always the lead singer in the group.
I LOVE it! Much better than the Gene Pitney version in my opinion.

this is an interesting version, but I like Gene Pitneys and the Cats versions better.
