Today's random #Discogs choice Gene Pitney and That Girl Belongs To Yesterday 7" 1964. One of my Mum's Gene 7"s. Nice track. However, the b-side is horrendous. 'Who Needs It'. Indeed Gene, indeed.

🎧 #MemorialDay | "Il Silzenzo"
Went looking for something else entirely (a #GenePitney song) and this found me. Five minutes ago. Rip my heart out!
"It is a memorial piece commissioned by the #Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the #Netherlands (in #WWII).

This track is 80s #NewWave pop, but after listening and watching a few times, the look and TimFinn's *earnest vocals are very 60s-inpired. #LouChristie and #GenePitney came to mind.

🎧 Up to walk-off toe/leg cramps and I'm awake now innit.
First music of the day: #GenePitney's "Something's Got Hold of My Heart." Most folks never heard it before #MarcAlmond covered it at the end of the 80s.
Pitney made my Mum's socks go up and down. She bought the single and played on repeat (not easy with a 45 record) on her portable record player.
1967. That voice!
