Hello "OhBoby2324". Now tell me what your message means and for what purpose. You sparked my curiosity

What an artist!! He had such a baby face, and the prematurely silver hair just emphasized that. But his singing, emoting and delivery were always wonderous.

Very underrated and always sounded great. There was a quality to his voice that was very appealing..

Along with Del and Roy, Gene was one of the 3 great male solo artists of the 60's. Interesting that all 3 continued to have hits in the UK in the years following the British Invasion while not being as successful here. All died way too young.

This was actually written as a gee up to Jewish leaders everywhere and was entitled "He's a Rabbi" ! Believe it or not. Well, don't then.

@lazur1 it was that eccentricity in his lyrics and singing that made him so special. He wasnt afraid to speak his mind wether it was belting out a great note or making a rythm with some of his unique vocals. It sounds like he puts so much emphasis and feeling into every line he delivers. Im Glad too share the same birthday with this man 17th of Feb. Its the dawning of the age of Aquarius!

@w:Gene (live) was an imperfect singer, as far back as '64. It seemed to me he'd risk going off or cracking his voice rather than miss a chance to nail something incredible, (which he also often did!). In the case of 'Rebel', it's more than that, & more than age: It's a song he didn't write for himself, that isn't suited for him, with a lame band, & being compared to a 'force of nature' recording by Darlene Love that no one can ever equal.

@dylandollyspud I love both versions but I'll always be partial to the original in that SHE'S a rebel! Simply love that! Makes it stand out more that way... but, you're right about Spector and the Crystals were, of course, fantastic!
