Gene Pitney RIP

We lost a great singer from the 60's with the death of Gene Pitney Wednesday in Cardiff, Wales. He was 65. He had a unique voice, and no covers of his songs ever came close to Gene's version. In homage to him let's list our favorite Pitney memories/songs. I'll get it started with one of his lessor known songs "Half Heaven, Half Heartache". What memories/songs will you associate with him?

All great songs, thank you one and all. I just listened to I'm Gonna Be Strong--wow, what a dramatic, powerful voice and song.

Zaikesman, thanks also for the Pitney trivia, which I did not know.

Pawlowski6132, you really should listen to some of his songs mentioned here. From the comments you see on this thread you can tell he was a special talent.
