Didn't he also record She Lets Her Hair Down that later was used in a Breck commercial in early 1970?
His great song,Every Breathe I Take was written by Carol King.I think Heartbreaker,from May,1968,was his last big Top 40 hit.
Favorite line from Town without Pity-
"If we stop to wish upon a star
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do"
Riverman -- yep, "She Lets Her Hair Down"was done by him, and yes, "Heartbreaker" was his last hit, from the spring of 1968. Two other middling later hits for him were "Princess In Rags" and "Backstage." And I think everything he did that charted was on Musicor Records.
We have the same favorite line. It stays in your head, doesn't it? Gene Pitney and Roy Orbison both had that great ability to be melodramatic but still make it work. "I'm Gonna Be Strong" is my favorite in the "build to a crescendo" school, but I like pretty much every major song he did. Most under-rated to me is "True Love Never Runs Smooth" from 1963, mostly forgotten. That croak in his voice made him fun to try to mimic. Such a fine craftsman that he was somewhat taken for granted. It's great to see his fans coming out of the woodwork with the memories.
