"He's a Rebel" is a song written by #GenePitney and originally recorded in 1962 by two artists, first by singer #VikkiCarr, followed by the more popular version credited to #girlGroup #theCrystals. The latter was produced by #PhilSpector immediately after learning of the imminent release of Carr's version. He enlisted #theBlossoms, with #DarleneLove on lead and tenor #BobbySheen added on harmony, and credited them as #theCrystals.

"Something's gotten hold of my heart" - Marc Almond featuring special guest star Gene Pitney.
Studio performance recorded three weeks ago. Marc sings in his leather jacket, sharp haircut, emotes heavily. And then Gene comes in, suit and no tie, sharp as a knife with a mop of grey hair.
A string section plays the piano break, Marc gives a cheeky wink to the camera, the two men subtly move together across the stage. Tremendously camp, and quite effective.

"Something's gotten hold of my heart" - Marc Almond featuring special guest star Gene Pitney
Second half of the video tonight, beginning with the bit where Gene's singing as a car drives through Monaco and into a swanky hotel, where he almost bumps into Cher.
Marc was reportedly upset about being "upstaged" by Gene two weeks ago, so of course the producer selects the bit of the song where Marc gets literally six lines on his own. Well done, Mr. Ciani.

Cover I did a few years ago of an old George Jones/Gene Pitney country tune, by way of Gram and Emmylou. Video features our dear, departed dog and more of the weird faces I make when I sing.
Legit licensed cover available on my Faircamp!

Marc Almond Featuring Special Guest Star Gene Pitney perform "Something's gotten hold of my heart".
Like Gary Barlobe and Lulu, like George Michael and Elton John, Marc takes the first verse so he can get overshadowed by a much better vocalist. Could have seen more of that.

From this day in #TOTP history, "Something's gotten hold of my heart". Marc Almond Featuring Special Guest Star Gene Pitney perform the familiar song. Marc is great, Gene adds something more.
TOTP producer Paul Ciani wouldn't have the duo back again, apparently Marc was annoyed that he'd been upstaged by Gene. Sweetheart, consider it a badge of honour!

Dearest Darling
I had to write to say
that I won't be home anymore
Cuz something happened to me
while I was driving home
& I'm not the same anymore
Oh I was only 24 hrs from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light
& stopped to rest for the night
& that is when I saw her
as I pulled in
outside of the small motel
she was there
& so I walked up to her
asked where I could get
something to eat
& she showed me where

He's a Rebel
He'll never ever be any good
He's a Rebel
cuz he never ever does
what he should
But just because he doesn't do
what everybody else does
That's no reason why
I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me
Always treats me tenderly
Cuz he's not a rebel
Oh no no no
He's not a rebel
Oh no no no
To me
