An underrated American singing legend passed away today at the age of 65, peacefully in Wales, Gene Pitney.. His hits from the early 60's included: Only Love Can Break a Heart, It Hurts to Be in Love, Town Without Pity, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, among them.. He wrote the song Hello Mary Lou, made famous by Ricky Nelson and He's a Rebel by the Crystals...He had an original, magnificent voice..

Rest in Peace Gene

He wrote and sang some good songs!  He did have a unique voice.  He will be missed along with all the other great ones.

65 is young   :(


Quote:
"We don't have a cause of death at the moment but looks like it was a very peaceful passing," said Pitney's tour manager, James Kelly.

"He was found fully clothed, on his back, as if he had gone for a lie down. It looks as if there was no pain whatsoever."





:shock:     <note to self,  when taking a nap, lay on stomach from now on>


See Don,  This is what I was saying to you.. Of course this beats going thru pain. Yet it also makes me think twice before going to sleep... Control issue I suppose, yet I don't wanna go !!   I'm not ready !!   This type thing sort've freaks me out...Seemingly healthy one moment... no longer in the world the next  :?

Yep, I don't get it either.  I can't seem to establish a good attitude about... you know.... the "D" word!
