Saturday Classics –13042024

Saturday tune for Easter.

Gene Pitney – Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart (1968)

This was originally a #5 hit for Gene Pitney in the UK in 1967. When Almond covered the song in 1989, he invited Pitney to sing on it with him, which Pitney was happy to do. That version was a hit #1 in many countries including the UK, but Pitney’s record label refused to release it in America, where Pitney was from. They were afraid that young listeners who were not familiar with Pitney or Almond would think they were a gay couple.

  1. Tämä on aivan ihana kappale ❤ Joskus soitin tämän klassikoissa, mukana myös suomiversio, joka ei sekään ollut huono, Siiri Nordin lauloi sen.

  2. Loistava biisi! Makea ääni kaverilla. Itselle mainittu Nordinin versio on tutuin.

  3. That video on YouTube has 4.4M views in 11 years and zero likes until today thanks to me, so hopefully more people will hit the like button.
