Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at a first time reaction made possible via PATREON with Gene Pitney and Marc Almond with the song " Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart." First off Pitney (1968) goes where no artist has gone before, with his superior control and vocal delivery just wow! Then Marc and Pitney (1988) share the song a rehash version with bigger sounds. Which one do I like most?

For me, the Marc Almond duet is the far superior version. Marc is a vastly underrated artist. As well as his amazing work with Soft Cell, he has had a stellar solo career. Try 'The Days of Pearly Spencer' - a big hit for him in 1992 that is also a 60's cover version.

@rayjennings3637 2 жыл бұрын

It's not a superior version. It's a different version. There's also 21 years between the recordings with all that implies in recording techniques. Whilst Marc Almond does a good job with the song, I think it's been a little over-engineered. Imagine how it would have sounded if 1988 was the first time Gene Pitney recorded it!

@vcole7611 2 жыл бұрын

"Town Without Pity", "It Hurts To Be In Love", "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "Only Love Can Break A Heart" are others by Gene Pitney. Glad that you're exploring his music.

Gene Pitney's voice was unique, instantly recognizable. He was an instrumentalist in the studio, altho I've never seen him with instruments when performing. He wrote some of his own songs, borrowed some, and wrote for others. He wrote "Hello Mary Lou" for Ricky Nelson. His version of "If Hurts to Be In Love" became the released (and hit) pop version, because Neil Sedaka's version was recorded at the "wrong" studio (some kind of contract technicality). And he did the title song for the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," but in another bureaucratic snag of some kind it wasn't included in the film. Anyway, he's got a big catalog out there, mostly in English and some Italian. Fave fun.

So funny when you realise young people of today haven’t heard of the mighty Gene Pitney! He was so famous (my era) and did so many fabulous heart-moving songs! Tragic how he died so young and so suddenly after a concert.

I absolutely love Gene Pitney! I’m currently reading a book about his songs, written by David McGrath. I can’t get enough of his voice and I love so many songs that he did! The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was my favorite song when I was 6, which sadly was around the time that he passed away. In high school I rediscovered his music and absolutely fell in love with every song I heard. I love his versions of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Unchained Melody, and Cara Mia. I also love his work in Italian and Spanish. He also did a country album with George Jones and it’s so wonderful. He has such a great range and is amazing in many different genres. Some of my favorites are A Street Called Hope, Country Dancing, I Wanna Love My Life Away, and of course The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He has so many underrated songs that many people don’t know about, he made so much music! It makes me so happy to hear that you prefer the original! I do as well, while still appreciating the phenomenal version with Marc Almond. I think Street Called Hope might be another great song to react to as well, there’s a great video of him singing it on KZfaq!

I always loved and appreciated Gene Pitney from a very young age, even when it was not considered particularly cool during the times of music snobbery. It is so good to see other generations starting to appreciate him for what he was, a unique voice in his time. What can I say, I was never a follower of trends and just knew what I liked and committed to it :) I was so surprised all those years later when Marc Almond did a duet with Gene and I was very pleased as it brought it to a new generation. It was also part of a planned comeback by Gene but sadly health problems interevened and he died not long after. I have to be honest yes I did like Marc but I would just wait for Gene to come on with baited breath. :)

Gene’s voice and range was off the charts. He goes straight to my heart. Wonderful duet also, Marc did it justice. My guess is, he was in awe at the sharing the stage with this legend. Love them both.

One of the best singers of the 60s Gene Pitney other track worth checking out include 24hrs from Tulsa, Town without pity and I'm going to be strong. And although he never had a number one in the UK he did have 21 top 40 hits singles 10 of which the top 10.

Soft Cell: 1) Tainted Love 2) Bedsitter 3) Purple Zone together with the Pet Shop boys. Marc Almond solo i) The Days of Pearly Spencer ii) Jacky iii) Vaudeville and Burlesque

Wow, thanks so much Dereck! Gene is so underrated, too bad, and this song is so mesmerizing. I discovered it when I heard Herbert Loéonard's awesome French cover in 1968. Love Pitney's ton of voice and especially when he sings in falsetto as in "Every breath I take" my fav by him. My others loved tracks are two sad songs "Somewhere in the country" and "Backstage, I'm lonely". And of course impossible not to mention "24 hours from Tulsa" covered crazily by Dusty Springfield

You picked a good one here. I love Gene Pitney and you picked a good one there. That live solo live performance doesn't do him any respect - you miss out on the natural 'twang' he has in his voice, very unique and very Gene. I love the duet version, and if you listen to it without no video, you can instantly hear that voice of his when it kicks in - it could be no other! You should check out some of his other tracks for sure.

This was shown on MTV so often in 1989 that they would've shown it twice at the same time if only they could have! I've never been a fan of Pitney's voice or the stiff staccato style he sings with on this track, but when paired up with the much more vocally gifted Almond, the two of them create magic together. Their voices blend beautifully, and for me, that's why the 1988 version has the edge over Pitney's solo version. On a side note, I was 12 when this video came out and I thought Pitney looked about 80 years old. I couldn't understand why the cool Almond would drag this pensioner into his video! But Pitney was only about 48 at the time! 😂

It had a little success at the time but the singer will only be successful in the 80's especially his duet with Julie Pietri in 1983 "Amoureux Fous" (Summer hit).
