Oh tudieu ! I'm gonna know those lyrics by heart...First it's epic but then :"Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry"The rythm in this verse breaks and flows in such a mesmerizing manner. Now I'll just go and melt by myself.

One of the best singers i've ever heard, i had the pleasure of meeting the great man in the early 90's in Dublin not only a fabulous singer but a true Gent too R.I.P

Thankyou for the great uploads . Am English 64 and always liked Gene Pitney. Saw him a few times in the sixties . Bournemouth Winter Gardens Comes to mind. Long gone! There seemed to be more modesty amongst great stars in those days.
