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."
Ahhh..... that would explain it! Darn 45's!
You're right, those are good ones too. I'm playing through my Gene Pitney MP3s now... "It's Not That I Don't Love You" is another one that I really like.
"Looking Through the Eyes of Love" is probably my favorite Gene Pitney song.
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"
