We are sorry to learn that
Gene Pitney has died. I know he was a "rocker" (nominally speaking; stylistically he really had more in common with Frankie Laine and Johnnie Ray) but he was also a great performer. One of our favorites is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", the song that made Pitney and Bacharach and David famous, and justly so, whatever people may say of "lounge music." RIP.
