Chanteur US né le 17 février 1941 à Hartford (Connecticut). Gene Pitney a débuté à la fin des années cinquante et a touché à tout: Rock 'n' Roll, ballades, Pop et Country Music.
Gene est décédé le 5 avril 2006 au Pays de Galles.
One of the
most interesting and difficult-to-categorize singers in '60s pop, Gene Pitney
had a long run of hits distinguished by his pained, one-of-a-kind melodramatic
wail. Pitney is sometimes characterized (or dismissed) as a shallow teen idol-type
prone to operatic ballads. It's true that some of his biggest hits — "Town
Without Pity," "Only Love Can Break a Heart," "I'm Gonna Be Strong," "It Hurts
to Be in Love," and "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa" — are archetypes of
adolescent or just-post-adolescent agony, characterized by longing and not a
little self-pity.
But Pitney was not just an archetype of his style — he was one of the best at
his style, and indeed one of the few (along with
Roy Orbison) that could pull it off
convincingly. Also (like Orbison), he
had more range than he's generally given credit for, making forays into tough
pop/rock, country, and even borderline rockabilly. Other than Dionne Warwick, he
was the best interpreter of Bacharach-David's
early compositions. Although he didn't pen much of his material, he was a
composer of note, writing "He's a Rebel" for
the Crystals, and "Hello Mary Lou" for
Rick Nelson. He was also something of a closet hipster — he was the first
American artist to cover a Jagger-Richards song ("That Girl Belongs to Yesterday,"
which was a British hit before the Rolling Stones had ever entered the U.S. Top
100), contributed to an actual Rolling Stones session in early 1964 (during
which they recorded "Not Fade Away"), had a brief fling with a teenage Marianne
Faithfull, and recorded songs by Randy Newman and Al Kooper long before those
musicians became famous.
Pitney broke into the music as a songwriter in his late teens, getting his first
taste of success when Rick Nelson had a
hit with "Hello Mary Lou" in 1961. That same year, Pitney had a small hit with
his first single, "(I Wanna) Love My Life Away," a self-penned demo on which he
sang and played every instrument — an extraordinary feat for 1961. Another 1961
single, Goffin-King's "Every Breath I Take," was produced by Phil Spector, and
is one of the very first examples of his pull-out-the-stops Wall of Sound
productions. Pitney didn't really find his metier, however, until late-1961's "Town
Without Pity," which became his first Top 20 entry.
For the next four years, Pitney was one of the most successful solo male
vocalists in America, reeling off over a dozen more Top 40 hits. While lovelorn
angst was his stock-in-trade, some of the singles were fairly innovative — "Half
Heaven, Half Heartache" and "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance" were crossover
country-pop before that term existed, "Mecca" was one of the few big pop/rock
hits to bear the influence of Middle Eastern music (albeit in a superficial
fashion), and "Last Chance to Turn Around" was a hard-boiled tough-luck tale
worthy of a top-notch B-movie thriller.
Pitney withstood the initial onslaught of the British Invasion fairly well,
scoring Top Ten hits in 1964 with "It Hurts to Be in Love" and "I'm Gonna Be
Strong." By 1966, though, he was in serious trouble stateside. Ironically, by
this time he was a much bigger star in Britain, making the U.K. Top Ten six
times in 1965-1966. He could also depend on a faithful international audience
throughout Europe, and frequently recorded in Italian and Spanish for overseas
markets. In 1966, he became one of the first artists to reach success with Randy
Newman compositions, taking "Nobody Needs Your Love" and "Just One Smile" into
the British Top Ten.
Pitney entered the U.S. Top 20 one last time in 1968 with "She's a Heartbreaker,"
a rather forced updating of his trademark sound, and reached the Top 40 in
Britain for the last time in 1974. Still, he remained a big concert draw on the
overseas nostalgia circuit. In 1989, he made number one in the U.K. again by
duoting with Marc Almond on a remake of one of his '60s singles, "Something's
Gotten Hold of My Heart." He died in April 2006, the night after a show in
Cardiff, Wales.
