@msymsed I used to think Jay's version was the best too. Then I hear David Whitfield & the Mantovani Orchestra do it ... AWESOME. Also an extra verse in his version.
I think he did a great job on this song...yes, Jay Black was the best on the song but Gene's version is very good. Jay could get a little overwrought.
Never ever have I heard Gene Pitney sing this song this fast.The time is a full minute too fast. I agree that Jay Black owns "Cara Mia" but Gene owns a few too.
oh for the love of God Gene owned this.

I think we are all used to Jay's version. However, to me Gene knocks him out of the ballpark.

Gene is good by Jay Black owns that song. Tony Martino isn't bad either, but nobody does it better than Jay!

Gene Pitney does a great job with this one... Yes, Jay is the master of if, but Gene can really belt it out... a very difficult song...
