Youtube has given me the chance to hear songs by Gene that I never knew he had recorded. In every case his individual voice and interpretation are clear.
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 in the middle of a UK tour.[3] His final show at Cardiff's St David's Hall was deemed a huge success, with a standing ovation, ending the show with his 1962 hit "Town Without Pity".
What a great tribute to a great writer and singer from a (Classy) legendary singer

This is almost a C&W feel - no artist except Pitney could have got away with doing this song that way.
He is always a surprise.

Well done!! Great song, great voice. Certainly right up there with Cat Stevens version, and I believe he wrote it. Lovely to hear.

I had tickets to go and see him at the Colston Hall in Bristol, this was to be the next show after Cardiff that night he died.
Never heard him singing this song before, one of my fav songs from the 60's.

This is a cover, Cat Stevens does the original. This song has helped many artists build rep.
