Jean Pitney was a guy who could make you believe, A voice that stood alone with a delivery that touched your heart. My wife and I have seen Gene in concert many many times. What a slave to his public the man was. One night in a theatre East Bourne England Gene had just finished his last number before the intermission. The lights came up and he began talking to the audience as he removed a piece of paper from his pocket. "From time to time I receive letters and I just happened to have one here. "Dear Gene "he began to read. " I would love to take you out for dinner after the show tonight " The women in the audience showed great interest. When the screams died down he continued to read. Take you out for dinner tonight, he paused and then make you breakfast in bed" After all the envious voices in the audience had fallen quiet Gene approached the edge of the stage shielded his eyes from the spotlights and said, " Chris? are you out there Chris ? After a moments silence In my deep baritone voice I answered him " Yeah I'm over here Gene." The whole theater just roared with laughter, Gene and his band were all but legless with laughter. My wife bless her only 23 years of age then gave me a dig in the ribs with her elbow. She is now 76years old and we have been married for 54 years and we still play his records. and keep his memory safe in our hearts'.
Gene Pitney was so VERY under rated !! How many songs did he write himself ? I tell Alexa to "play Gene Pitney's greatest hits" once a day and it never gets old. Every song is great. Gene Pitney PT2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pbmRujSGOiQ.html
As many accolades Al has he’s still underrated. His song “Blue Skies” from the movie Glengarry Glen Ross is absolutely masterful. What a talent, God bless you Mr. Jarreau!
When artist were actually real artists , without the technology of nowadays they were talented unlike the people of today who have destroyed music with anger & violence in music , there are very few artists nowadays who are real talent .
The best interview with Mr Pitney never lost his vocal capability ever!!! An absolute professional!! Loved and missed ...2024 Sir you live on!!! 🙏🎧🤠👢 🎤 ❤💃💕
When I was in high school in Southern California in the 70's, I was friends with my girlfriends older brother and his friend who were all in school at UCLA and played in the band. Chicago was a huge influence to then, they played a lot of their songs frequently. I was fortunate to been able to hear them play at the LA Coliseum after foot ball games and as a result, I came a huge Chicago fan. I have no doubt, hundreds of years from now, people will still be listening to Chicago. Their music is timeless.
After looking at these comments it's a shame really especially after Mary passed away the diana ross evil cult followers strikes again. Us Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson fans left just understand the fact that they are evil cruel and immature and they always think they know the truth about everything.
He's as modest and unaffected as he is talented and accomplished. Genuinely nice guy whose track record as a songwriter and performer speaks for itself.
McDonald's got the voice, the look, grows a great beard (not that it matters anymore!), and even looks great grey! I just saw a recent video and he still got the voice!

Gene had his own style. A bit out of sync being a crooner type amongst the pop/ rock groups of the Swinging Sixties..but it worked because he was stand alone good. He owned the stage during his hey day. His songs were good and well produced. Always sad when icons of your past who touched your heart with their lyrics pass on
Adoravo Gene Pitney e tutt'ora mi piace ascoltare i suoi brani, peccato che se n'é andato troppo presto, il periodo che ha cantato in Italia in italiano ha avuto tanto successo, soprattutto fra le ragazze
