Am I the only one old enough here to mourn Gene Pitney?

[MnFats]

died in London couple days ago.
I had older siblings so i got to hear his music.
He also wrote the great, great Crystals' song, "He's a Rebel."

My sister's 45's of his songs are burned in my memory. well, not all the actual titles, but the Feelings are.

6. No, and I'm only 19

My mom used to listen to oldies stations in the car when I was a kid, and I thought he was pretty cool. I'm sad that he died :(

8. You are not the only one old enough.

And I didn't have older siblings.

9. I remember him

And I mourned his passing when I heard yesterday.

But I didn't really recognize him until after I heard Ronnie Montrose's instrumental cover of "Town Without Pity." What a hauntingly beautiful song.
