Gene Pitney's most famous song, reaching #7 on the Billboard charts in 1964. It was actually intended for Neil Sedaka, but Sedaka's record company refused to release his version of the song because it wasn't recorded in their studios. So the songwriters took it to Pitney, recorded his voice over Sedaka's and it became a smash. And oh boy, I know from personal experience how much it hurts to be in love. :(

Loved this song!!!!

@revacohen Amen to that lol. Pitney songs were balm to the hurting heart, he had great song writers writing just for his style and voice. And he could deliver. He melted the hearts of teen girls in his hay day and when they became grandmothers he could still do it. I regret never seeing him in person. He's sorely missed but his legacy is alive and well. :o)

@Tonithenightowl I agree. Despite the fact that I still remember all too well the pain I felt when a boy I had a crush on didn't return my interest, I also feel that we probably weren't meant for each other.

@hodoboc However, good thing we didn't end up with those we thought we couldn't do without. :o) I know for myself it was a blessing.

Unrequited love is the very pain of God.

An absolute brilliant work of art.
Oh, the bumps of goose . . . the pain . . . the joy . . . the memories . . .
We salute—and we Thank—You, Gene.

I just heard this one this morning, and it brings back so many memories. A great song, by a awesome artist! Sorry his life was cut short. Thanks for posting this.
