What Are You Listening To?

[Maryna]

LOL....you had to listen to the same song(chi-chi) four times in a row....hope you liked it!

and were there any significant changes to each take????

Sometimes I listen to 1 song all day long! When it is really catching.

I love this guy. A lot more albums than I thought he had, and 2 with George Jones. Passed away in 2006 at the age of 66. Popular in the mid-60's
with 4 top 10 hits here, the highest being #2 with Only Love Can Break A Heart. Only 10 tunes on this collection but I love all of them except
the terrible Mecca track. Gene probably had his biggest hits as a writer penning He's A Rebel by the Crystals and Hello Mary Lou for Ricky
Nelson. Surprised to see the guy is in the HOF. Not sure if his record is deserving but good for him.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Mecca
Best Track - Town Without Pity

My dad loves Pitney but my mum cant stand his music especially that "if I didn't have a dime" song....
I'm a fan,love the stuff he did with George Jones also.

Your score is justified IMO

[CRAZY-HORSE]

I just remembered,Pitney had a UK #1 hit in the late 80s with a remake of "something's gotten hold of my heart", it was a duet with Soft Cell vocalist Marc Almond

[SteveO]

He has a very distinct voice...hard not to like him! I have always enjoyed hearing him.

A shout-out to MH for bringing up this magnificent artist. As big as he was in the US, he was an absolute monster in the UK and Italy (40 Top 40 songs in the UK). 2 of my faves, especially for getting rid of emotional junk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J_QoDrNhNo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJPDFyhMFl4 << He also liked this singer enough to sing back-up on her version--Jane Olivor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNamsugJeAA

for you MH(and anyone else who cares to listen)...

[Music Head]

thanks for the share
had not heard that before
very interesting collaboration
not sure I would have recognized that as Pitney
wasn't crazy about it
but I liked it

[CRAZY-HORSE]

No problem MH,glad I could bring you something you've not heard previously...

I'm not sure why,but that single was never released Stateside,only in Europe and Australia..
