    I thought I had heard every Pitney song. "Take Me Tonight" came as a complete surprise! What, no "It Hurts to be in Love?"

    I moved to France in 2011, and trying to become familiar with my small community, I went to an international food products open air market. So surprised to hear "24 Hours From Tulsa" playing at that market in France. It brought back memories of swapping spit with my high school boyfriend, while listening to Gene Pitney, back in 1967....I started listening to Gene, regularly, after that.

    I had the good fortune of seeing him live three times...the thing about Gene that impressed me most beside his voice was his going out of his way for his fans. I've seen him jump off the stage and sing to the fans and shake their hands which drove the Security team crazy...One concert was at our Colliseum and we held horse shows there...they had a wooden stage and walk up made of wood for his perfaormance, the rest of the arena was muddy. He walked to his fans waiting by the fence and shook hands while he sang...I loved him for that and have ever since.

    Great job with the music and amazing pictures of Gene. I remember where I was when I heard Gene had passed. He was my favorite male singer growing up. He sang with such emotion and at times pathos. There were also a number of great Bacharach (now gone too!) tunes that Gene did. I still regret not going to his memorial service in Conn. which was not that far away. His music lives on !!

    Wow! I sing several Gene Pitney songs, but none of your favorites. The only one I've even heard was the last one. But when I was in Jr. High I thought these songs were really something, 24 Hrs from Tulsa, Last exit to Brooklyn, I must be seeing things, I'm Gonna be Strong, Maybe these are not, for the most part songs he wrote, but they were the ones played on KIMN 950 Denver. When I saw him on Shindig or Hullabaloo, I was blown away with his dramatic performance and over articulation. I was surprised to see that he wrote Hello Mary Lou.
