He had one of the great voices of my day.

Not just your day! I'm 28 and like I said, he's one of my favorite singers.

He was one of my dad's favorites too.... maybe it's genetic (no pun intended!).

One song that I've never heard on the oldies station, but that I really like, is "If I Didn't Have a Dime (To Play the Jukebox)"

mwyounce, that was a good song and got some playing time when it was out, but it was the flip side of "Only Love Can Break A Heart" and tends to be forgotten. Gene had plenty of middling-hits that rarely if ever get played on oldies stations -- another was his recording of the Jagger/Richards song "That Girl Belongs To Yesterday." A few others were "I Must Be Seeing Things" and "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love."

Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a good one in the awful way of a pun. Claim it!
