The Keener Podcast – Gene Pitney

Gene Pitney’s passing was a fitting final chapter to the legend. He died, at age 65, just hours after performing to a standing ovation in the Welsh capital, Cardiff. His four decade career included 20 chart singles (10 on WKNR) and writing credits that were amplified by the likes of Phil Spector Bobby Vee and Rick Nelson. From Bob Green’s Keener archives, we present a fascinating 1965 interview first broadcast on the Scott Regen show, along with some of the best Gene Pitney music from height of the WKNR era.
