  1. Don't know why but I always think of the Platters singing this song.

    1. The Platters version WAS more popular! Will add the book to my long, long reading list - thanks!

  2. That song belongs to the Platters. Gene Pitney is a great singer but his covers of other singers hits are not what he will be remembered for. "Town Without Pity" I believe was his best with "Liberty Valence" a close second.
