“Only Love Can Break A Heart” by Gene Pitney - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1962 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |

A shed-load of Bacharach & David schmaltz, with only occasional smatterings of cool to relieve the boredom. Best track for me is “(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance”, which was written for, but not ultimately used in, the film of the same name. The title track gave Pitney his biggest hit in the US. In an ironic twist, it was kept off the #1 spot by a song that he himself had written; the awesome “He's A Rebel” which was a hit for The Crystals.
