Aug 10, 2010 - I've read that Gene Pitney was modeling his performance on Frankie Laine when sang the title song from "Town Without Pity" (which is, not surprisingly, my favorite Gene Pitney song). Their voices may not sound alike, but I think he's channeling Frankie in "Liberty Valance" as well.

Aug 11, 2010 - @MPSilvertone666 Yes Gene have a laine style to his singing. I have had e-mails from a guy that will not believe that Frankie Laine did not sing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. I tell him to look it up and he replys that he knows Frankie when he hears him. Funny I don't think Gene sounds like Frankie. I saw on TV the "Liberty Valance" movie for the first time in 40 years on TV and shocked to discover that the song was not in the movie.

Aug 19, 2010 - It has spanish music influence

larrydonguy Says:

Aug 20, 2010 - @PowerForWorkers Definitely a bit of Flamenco in it. Notice Laine's quite audible foot taps early in the song.

PowerForWorkers Says:

Aug 20, 2010 - @larrydonguy Yes, at least the melody and the form of sing is from South Spanish music

Aug 27, 2010 - @markalson1938 It doesn't surprise me that Gene took his singing style from Frankie. There's a video of Gene singing "Town Without Pity" (also a favorite of mine) in a more choppy style than sultry, like on the recorded version. A commenter a while back wrote that Gene was imitating Johnny Ray's (?) style. Either way, they both rock!

Sep 1, 2010 - @NBS1985 What the heck is Mafia 2? Is It a movie? If It is I've never heard of it.

NBS1985 Says:

Sep 1, 2010 - @markalson1938 It's a brand new game for PC, Xbox and PS3, set in the 40's and 50's and features a great variety of songs from that time

markalson1938 Says:

Sep 2, 2010 - @NBS1985 Thanks for the information, since I don't play these games it passed me by but any game that has this type of music as part of it is an improvment over what my Grandson Plays.
