Gene Pitney - The Great Pretender download song

Gene Pitney a legend sadly missed a great voice his songs brought tears to your eyes his songs sung with true feelings

This is my theme song. I can truly understand the words of this sad song?

excellent rendition, yes it's the platters and freddie mercury was outstanding, but gene's style was as good

OMG as the kids say!!!!!

I,ve always cried when I hear Pitney do this song. The Pain in his voice vibrates out to say how hard it is to pretend when you are feeling so strongly about someone or thing. LOVE IT

Really? I'll bet Gene was surprised, because he was still alive! he didn't die until April 2006. By the way, big memorial concert and ceremony to be held in Connecticut, October 4, 2008. See Pitney forums and web site for more details. Pitney impersonator Tony Lee from UK to perform.

I worked with Gene as support artist in the early 70s, in one of his concerts at a place called "The Golden Garter" in Whythenshaw Manchestr England, he was the most lovely man, a few weeks later I worked with Roy Orbison at the same venue, them were the days of Great Cabaret artists and music. God Bless Them.

A terrific voice what a range one more who died too young

never forgot we all pretend ..

Gene has such a special voice,great to hear .

Freddy Mercury does this song justice.

no one will ever be like gene pitney hes the best

Ah...'rock and roll'???? What about this song makes you think it could ever fall into that category??? Surely, it is a ballad. It happened to have reached its peak during the early 'rock and roll' era. But that's as close as it gets to being 'rock and roll'.

Awesome as all Gene,s songs are ,with an exquisite voice like his ,one of the greats left us too soon ,This is the best version of this great song .R I P you lovely man in every way .Love to you darling .Paula xxx .

HE SINGS THIS VERY WELL.

Having listened to all the versions I think Gene's is the best. The song so suited his strong unique voice. I was a fan from a very young age and first managed to see him when I was 18 and went to various venues in the East Mdlands and been looking forward to seeing him at Buxton on that final tour. Another song where he used the power of his voice to the fulll was 'street called hope' it really should have done better in the UK sports than it did.
