Gene Pitney was the first singer I liked and still play his music in 2023. I had the privilege of seeing him perform in Australia and was blown away by his talent. Fans who loved his music will make sure he is not forgotten ever.

I just turned 70 and Gene Pitney was a part of my teenage years. I'm still listening to this day. May he rest in peace, sadly missed and taken too soon.

He sang songs that stayed with me my entire life. I'm 74 years now.

Always loved Gene Pitney....I loved his voice and choice of songs. What a voice! Don't think he ever got the credit he deserved. He also wrote great songs. He had such a strong voice and high range. I still play his music. When I hear on radio, I turn it up and sing along. He has given me hours of joy.

Gene Pitney was underrated by the industry in his time and is virtually unknown today - he should not be allowed to fade and that is why your tribute on YouTube is so important - excellent appreciation.

Gene was adored in the Uk. we couldnt get enough of him, and he loved coming here. He is missed so much.

Totally underrated. Loved his "Only 24 Hours from Tulsa". "Town Without Pity' was bluesy, hauntingly mystical jem .

[marybazargani]

His music is timeless; he cannot be replaced. So amazing!

Another underrated singer and song writer. I absolutely love virtually every Pitney song and performance. He's in my Top 4 male singers of his era: Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, Bobby Vee, and Gene. RIP all of them.

He was a real looker with a fantastic, unique and soothing voice. It is always heart-wrenchingly sad to think of a star dying alone in a hotel room and being flown home to family. ThanQ very much for all of those beautiful songs, rest in eternal peace Gene Pitney.

A brilliant singer with such a distinct voice.

Gene Pitney was one of my favorites when growing up....Now, any time I hear one of his songs, the volume automatically gets turned up....

[mycatalby]

I loved Gene Pitney. Amazing voice. Whenever I hear any of his songs I cry because it takes me right back to the sixties when I was a teen. His songs bring back a lot of memories. 😔💜

they don't make 'em like pitney any more...what a voice!

[patricialenaburg]

He had one of the most beautiful voices I had ever heard, clear as crystal, and he sang without putting out any effort what so ever. Hate to hear that he passed away.

As a Gene fan for 57 years I absolutely loved this....Gene was a real gentleman who always had time for his fans....We were all so grateful that Lynne shared him with us for all those years . R.I.P. Mr P.

Was lucky enough to see him live twice. Even up to his death he was touring and he could still hit the high notes and looked a million dollars. Talent oozed from this singer songwriter I bet in a few years another generation will discover him as Elvis as been rediscovered by a veritable Army of new fans.RIP Gene you are sorely missed x
