Gene Pitney (Musicor) 1968


"She's a Heartbreaker"
Although charting frequently through the early and mid-'60s, this slice of blue-eyed soul would be the Connecticut native's last sizable hit on U.S. soil. Pitney's unabashed guitar (and possibly his piano playing and drumming) is complimented with pep-rally trumpets and cascading strings. Pitney passed away in 2006 at the age of 66.
