At a young age he learned the basics of piano, drums, and guitar and during high school he formed his fist band.

Gene’s first recordings were in 1958 with a Connecticut singing group called the Embers. Those recordings were not released until 1990.

1961, Pitney scored his first chart single, which made the Top 40, the self-penned “(I Wanna) Love My Life Away”, on which he played several instruments and multi-tracked the vocals. He followed that same year with his first Top 20 single, “Town Without Pity”, from the 1961 film of the same title.

Pitney had 16 Top-40 hits in the U.S. and 22 Top-40 hits in the UK. He wrote 60s hits including “Rubber Ball” recorded by Bobby Vee, “He’s a Rebel” by the Crystals, and “Hello Mary Lou” by Ricky Nelson. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
