Gene Pitney RIP

[tuigirl]

Oh zoot... I know he was from ages ago, but I had seen him in concert a while back and he was excellent, still had a great voice. A real entertainer, going to be missed...

Very sad.

As an aside, I LOVE Cardiff and that Hilton is very, very nice!!

My father absolutley LOVES Gene Pitney - he is absolutley gutted

At about 5.30 am all the whole house could hear was 'Noooo'

I'm not sure I know who this is. What are his credits?

I'm sorry to hear this. My dad is a fan of his.

You probably knew him without knowing it

My mother and my uncle are both huge Pitney fans... they're both really bummed out.

Whipper-snapper that I am, I've always preferred Cyndi Lauper's version of "I'm Gonna Be Strong," to his... but he was definitely a talented man.
