Gene Pitney - First Cut Is The Deepest..w/ LYRICS

[357HFC]

What a great tribute to a great writer and singer from a (Classy) legendary singer

[ogie969]

gene may have died but his voice lives on . he will never be replaced

[blueberries4ever]

He used to do a good version of "Mecca".

[bodachlynful]

I really like his version, his voice is brilliantly different

[thiaanthony]

Nice to know Gene did a version of FCITD.

[personalityson]

i do not really like his singing

[Tonithenightowl]

@personalityson Apparently you have no taste.

[thallassocracy]

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.

[sweetnpeachy1]

@thallassocracy ..He loved C&W...did an album with George Jones and wrote and produced others. .. RIP Gene xoxo

[wentonmastermind]

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.

Gene - you are still missed and loved.

[ariesgypsy]

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

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".

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.

[johncfl]

What a great singer! Miss u Gene!

[TheChampagne]

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

[furbsmom]

I am only assuming it is, not really sure.

[furbsmom]

where it all starts, The Greatist

[osahju914]
