A very Happy 70th Birthday to the late great Mr. Pitney.
Here's a cool live medley of a few of Gene's many hit records...

Stanley Turrentine and Gene Pitney
They have one thing in common. Today. A celebration for one. A remembrance for the other.
Today is Stanley Turrentine's 75th birthday. Please tell me you know who he is...
Smooth and sooth your Sunday with some sax from Mr. T...
On the other side of the celebration, it's the third anniversary of Gene Pitney's passing.
Love the old school b/w music video...

Happy Birthday Gene Pitney
Today is Gene's 69th birthday. Celebrate!
Lucky me. I got to spend a day in the studio with Gene Pitney. FYI, the dude can sing.

Birth and Death
On this day 64 years ago, the world welcomed singer, songwriter, environmentalist, advocate and pilot, John Denver. A happy day indeed.
John Denver
12/31/43 - 10/12/97
This song is usually attributed to Peter, Paul and Mary but it was actually written by Denver.
Sadly, on this same day 22 years ago, the world lost the very talented singer, songwriter and actor, Rick Nelson in a tragic plane crash.

While this song became a huge hit for Rick Nelson, it was written by Gene Pitney, another one of the musicians honored in Everybody I Shot Is Dead.

I Can Barley See...Oops, Barely See
I never shot a lot of film at concerts. No motor drive. I would lay in wait. Until I saw the picture I wanted. Click.
In addition to the fairly simple task of compiling my Camel (a roll of color and a roll of black & white) and Back Door (3/4 of a roll of black & white), I scanned my Gene Pitney pictures. I shot him in L.A. at a recording studio. I was hired by Columbia Records. And I must have succumbed to the L.A. paradigm of over-shooting because I have around 100 pictures of him.
I've been sitting in front of the computer since 10 o'clock this morning. It's now 11:45 PM. Scanning. Printing. Trying to figure out how to fit all the good shots of Gene into the book without turning it into The Gene Pitney Book, starring Gene Pitney and a few supporting musicians. It's tough. There are a lot of good pictures of Gene and I'm sure his fans would love to see them all. But I can't put them all in the book.
I'm going to have to sleep on this and look at the printouts in the morning and see what jumps out at me. I'm pretty sure the picture of him eating his hamburger is going to make it. And probably the one where he fell asleep in a chair. There's three of him standing in front of a microphone with headphones on. In one he's singing, wearing a jacket and sunglasses. In another he's singing, no sunglasses and a tee shirt. And the other one, he turned and looked in the camera. I don't know. Which one should I pick?
Thank you for your support. I'm going to sleep now.
