It was a joy for me, as a life-long fan of Gene Pitney, to meet and interview the man in 2002 for a radio series I was presenting on RTE, Ireland's national radio station. Here is a clip where we talk about his recording of It Hurts To Be In Love, by way of leading into a chat about Hello Mary Lou, one of my all-time favourite songs. If you like it too, check out Gene's story about the song and who it may have been about!
