Gene Pitney R.I.P.
there are a lot of people who
have listen to your songs and
have warmed our hearts.
I still miss Gene Pitney. I have also visited his grave a few times. What a talent, what a loss.
Just liked to listen to Gene Pitney music from very early in my life. The music gave me a lift. I was drafted and sent to the Republic of Vietnam in 1968. I still have my original Pitney records. Circumstances never allowed for a concert. I pray Gene’s family stays well.
Thank you, Connecticut musician and inspirational song writer and unique singer, Gene Pitney, whose lyrics and song will light and comfort us for all time. My teen years were blessed with hours of listening to his gifts. May his family feel the love and appreciation of the lives he enriched by his songs and passions shared.
