Our Take

Ah, Gene Pitney. The man with the voice of an angel and the hairstyle of a 1950s heartthrob. His compilation album "Big 20 - All The UK Top Hits 1961-73" is a trip down memory lane for those who remember the good ol' days of classic pop.

From his chart-topping hits like "24 Hours from Tulsa" to the lesser-known gems like "Princess in Rags", Pitney's discography is a rollercoaster of emotions. The strings swell, the vocals quiver, and you can't help but be transported to a simpler time when love songs ruled the airwaves.

But let's not forget Pitney's distinctive vibrato, which could make even the toughest of hearts melt. It's a signature sound that sets him apart from the crooners of his era, and one that still resonates with fans today.

Sure, the production may sound a bit dated by modern standards, but there's a certain charm to the simplicity of these tracks. Pitney's heartfelt lyrics and powerhouse vocals are what make this album a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good old-fashioned pop music.

So, if you're in the mood for a bit of nostalgia and a whole lot of heart, give Gene Pitney's "Big 20 - All The UK Top Hits 1961-73" a spin. You won't be disappointed. Trust me, I'm a famous music reviewer, I know what I'm talking about.

About the artist

Gene Pitney

Ah, Gene Pitney. The man with the voice of an angel and the sideburns of a rock star. This crooner from Hartford, Connecticut first burst onto the scene in the early 1960s with his hit single "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa." And let me tell you, he's been breaking hearts and topping charts ever since. Pitney's distinctive blend of pop, rock, and country music has made him a favourite among fans and critics alike. With his powerful vocals and emotive lyrics, he can turn even the most hardened cynic into a weeping mess. But it's not just his music that sets Pitney apart – it's his style too. The man practically invented the dark, brooding heartthrob look that so many musicians have tried (and failed) to pull off since. Those tailored suits, that perfectly coiffed hair, those piercing blue eyes... it's enough to make even the most devoted of fans weak at the knees. And let's not forget Pitney's impressive songwriting skills. From heart-wrenching ballads to toe-tapping rockers, he's penned some of the most memorable tunes of the past century. Whether you're in the mood for a tearjerker or a dance floor filler, Gene Pitney has got you covered. So if you haven't already discovered the magic of Gene Pitney, what are you waiting for? Get yourself a copy of his greatest hits, pour yourself a stiff drink, and prepare to be transported to a world of heartbreak, longing, and pure musical genius. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
