Our Take

As I sat down to listen to Gene Pitney's double album release, "Only Love Can Break A Heart / The Many Sides Of Gene Pitney," I couldn't help but wonder if the music industry had been sleeping on this hidden gem for far too long.

On the surface, Pitney's music seems like your typical 60s pop fare - catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and that signature crooner voice. But as I delved deeper into the album, I was taken on a wild ride through Pitney's many sides.

From the heart-wrenching ballad "Only Love Can Break A Heart" to the upbeat and infectious "Every Breath I Take," Pitney proves that he's not just a one-trick pony. His ability to switch effortlessly between different genres and moods is a testament to his versatility as an artist.

But what truly sets Pitney apart is his quirky charm and undeniable charisma. Whether he's delivering a hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Town Without Pity" or getting down and dirty on tracks like "Princess In Rags," Pitney's personality shines through, making each song feel like a personal and intimate experience.

In conclusion, "Only Love Can Break A Heart / The Many Sides Of Gene Pitney" is a rollercoaster of emotions that showcases Pitney's talent and artistry in a way that is both timeless and relevant. Do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed. Cheers, Gene!

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.
