"Gene Pitney was so unique and versatile with his singing and his style. I love all of his music." "When I first heard Only Love Can Break A Heart I was captivated by the strong emotion coming from Gene Pitney's voice. Gene's been gone for a few years now, but he lives on through his wonderful music." "I am a true Gene Pitney fan so it is hard for me to give an unbiased opinion. I really love his style and voice. He has great range and performs each song in that true Gene Pitney style. He makes each song his own." "Gene Pitney remains a crooner who just doesn't get the respect that he deserves." "Only Love Can Break A Heart is an achingly beautiful ballad about the angst of heartache that can come with love and romantic breakups; Gene sings this with a heavenly backup chorus to make this number full and complete." "If you have ever loved and lost, then you will understand why Gene Pitney's music touches my heart and makes me cry when I listen to his excellent music." "Gene Pitney had a voice that could make you feel that he sang to you alone. His ability to over dub made his sound bigger and brighter. Overseas he was given his rightful due on his ability to take a song and make it his own. When a song came on and you heard his voice you knew who it was." "If Gene's vocals don't reach into you and touch your soul I don't know what will."
