This DID get played in Chicago,which had a UK streak back then.I CAN'T LET GO by The Hollies(another UK 2)was top 20 here but not even top 40 Billboard.Cilla Black's version of ALFIE was a hit here too.Not only did he peak behind SUNNY AFTERNOON with this,it didn't even MAKE Billboard.Odd.
He never had a solo UK no 1. It may be a surprise that this song achieved the highest chart position for Gene in the UK, jointly with I'm Gonna Be Strong, at no 2. 24 Hours From Tulsa only reached no 5!
He DID reach no 1 in 1989 with Marc Almond, on a duet for Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart.
anyone going to the Pure Gene Pitney Concert at Dudley Concert Hall UK, 22nd Oct 2010. Featuring Maurice Merry and the Gene Pitney Orchestra. should be a good night hearing all Genes great songs.

One of the Worlds all time perfectionist who always performed to Highest Standard
That sometimes annoyed 0thers.
The one thing you can say for certain he was Loyal to his UK Fans
Rarely missed a year touring UK ( If he did )
Unique Voice & Quality That lasted through all trends
Obviously I Consider Elvis ; Roy Orbison & Gene Vincent The Best By Far
The UK's First & Forever TeddyBoy

I got to see him in the 80s. Absolutely original, eccentric pop. He tore the house down.

I was in the UK in the summer of '66 when this was a big hit there. Lucky thing, because I never heard it in the U.S.
