=> Who the *hell* is Gene Pitney?

My mam and my sister both like Gene Pitney.  He is a singer from the
50s(?) with songs such as "Town Without Pity," "24 Hours From Tulsa,"
and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (which may have been used in the
film of the same name, if memory serves).

ob80sThread: I have a dim recollection of Marc Almond scoring a Top 10
hit with a cover of a Gene Pitney song (or it might actually have been a
recording with Pitney himself).

Cheers,

Paul.
