Friday, April 07, 2006Gene Pitney Rock and Roll hall of famer (2002) Gene Pitney was found dead of natural causes on Wednesday. Pitney, 65, who shot to fame in the 1960s with hits including "Town Without Pity" and "Only Love Can Break a Heart," died after having given a concert the previous night that had won him a standing ovation. Pitney was in the middle of a 23-show tour of Britain when he died.  By now anyone who knows me or had been reading this blog knows I have a deep love for music in all it’s forms. I was really saddened today to hear of the death of the great Gene Pitney. As a kid I was fascinated by his voice. He had remarkable range and his voice was so distinctive, it was said that he was capable of hitting notes so high only dogs could hear them. A friend of mine who caught one of his last concerts in the UK told me Pitney’s voice was still phenomenal. ( I own this album btw inherited from my grandma )I can’t even begin to do his career or talent justice in this post. The man was a visionary in 1963 long before the Beatles did it Pitney had a hit with Mecca a precursor to psychedelia music (think hippies) in its use of Indian musical influence. He had a hit with the Mick Jagger and Keith Richard song, "That Girl Belongs to Yesterday", which was the first Rolling Stones song to be a success in the United States, and it was mainly due to Pitney's endorsement of the group that helped them to become popular in America. According to those in the know within the music world much of David Bowie's singing on "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" is an homage to Pitney's amazing vocal range, technique and mannerisms.
