R.I.P. Gene Pitney
Gene Pitney, "Town Without Pity"
Gene Pitney, "It Hurts To Be In Love"
Gene Pitney, "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance"
Gene Pitney, "Only Love Can Break A Heart"
We lost another great one recently, as Gene Pitney passed away Wednesday. For those that don't know, he is one of the great singers of all-time, a huge name in the 50s and 60s. I came to him through his work with Burt Bacharach and Hal David, two of my all-time favorites. Pitney's incredible voice would feature on some of the duo's most romantic, pop ballads. Above are some tracks from The Look of Love: Burt Bacharach Collection and his most famous song, or at the very least my favorite by Pitney, "Town Without A Pity." Listen to these songs about love and heartbreak and remember Mr. Pitney.
