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

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."

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 :(

RIP

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.
