Gene Pitney Tribute

I wanted to remind you that on this week's edition of Treasure Island Oldies, I will be presenting a one hour tribute to Gene Pitney. This tribute will be in Hour 4 and will feature some of Gene's big hits, a few lesser-known ones, a very rare early recording when he recorded under the name Billy Bryans, plus a couple of songs he wrote for other recording artists, Ricky Nelson and The Crystals. But what will make this different is I will play some of the original demo recordings before they were cut by Rickey Nelson and The Crystals.

I hope you will be able to listen to the whole show, but in particular, Hour 4. It all takes place live Sunday, April 9th from 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and then later on the Archives, all at Treasure Island Oldies.

Be sure to visit the offical Gene Pitney website.
