    I moved to France in 2011, and trying to become familiar with my small community, I went to an international food products open air market. So surprised to hear "24 Hours From Tulsa" playing at that market in France. It brought back memories of swapping spit with my high school boyfriend, while listening to Gene Pitney, back in 1967....I started listening to Gene, regularly, after that.

    I had the good fortune of seeing him live three times...the thing about Gene that impressed me most beside his voice was his going out of his way for his fans. I've seen him jump off the stage and sing to the fans and shake their hands which drove the Security team crazy...One concert was at our Colliseum and we held horse shows there...they had a wooden stage and walk up made of wood for his perfaormance, the rest of the arena was muddy. He walked to his fans waiting by the fence and shook hands while he sang...I loved him for that and have ever since.

He sang with such emotion and at times pathos. There were also a number of great Bacharach (now gone too!) tunes that Gene did. I still regret not going to his memorial service in Conn. which was not that far away. His music lives on !!
