Gene Pitney

Even in his heyday, Gene Pitney never looked like anything other than a successful young executive, a product of Wall Street or Madison Avenue rather than Carnaby Street or the King's Road.

His dark suit, white shirt, sober tie and neat haircut stood out among the young peacocks and dolly birds of the 60s pop scene, just as his melodramatic ballads, delivered in an adenoidal high tenor, were immediately identifiable amid the kaleidoscopic cacophony of the mid-60s

But it was reported he died of natural causes!! he was a couple of years older than i am!! natural causes!
