Our Take

Gene Pitney is a name that may not be on everyone's lips in this day and age, but his impact on the music world cannot be denied. With his unmistakable voice and penchant for melodrama, Pitney has left an indelible mark on the pop landscape.

The Best Of Gene Pitney compilation is a smorgasbord of hits that will transport you back to a simpler time when heartache was best expressed through soaring ballads and dramatic string arrangements. From the iconic "24 Hours from Tulsa" to the infectious "Town Without Pity", this album is a treasure trove of timeless classics.

Pitney's voice is a thing of wonder, effortlessly shifting from tender crooning to powerful belts with ease. His delivery is filled with emotion, drawing listeners in and making them feel every lyric as if it were their own. It's no wonder Pitney has been dubbed the "King of Tears" - his ability to convey heartache and longing is unparalleled.

While some may dismiss Pitney's music as cheesy or outdated, there is a certain charm to his old-school approach. His songs may be melodramatic, but they are undeniably catchy and well-crafted. The Best Of Gene Pitney is a testament to his enduring talent and serves as a reminder of why he remains a beloved figure in the world of music.

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.
