            Gene Pitney

TONY LEE

 

Thank you for taking the time to look at this site. I have been a fan of Genes since 1963 when I bought my first record, 24 hours from Tulsa.

To perform Genes songs is a great pleasure and I try to do justice to a great artiste and his work. I know there was and will only ever be one Gene Pitney, though I perform his songs I do them in the style of Gene and I know that no one can ever replace him.

Long may the name and songs of Gene Pitney live on.

Tribute

Gene Pitney was a unique talent who devoted his life to his music. He was writer as well as a performer and gave his all not only to his contemporises but all so to all his fans through out the world. He was one of those rare talents that come along and now he his no longer with us we have his memory and his music to remember him by.

Tony Lee as been around in the music industry since the early 70's. He as performed through out the length of the UK and Europe. Like Gene he as a very distinctive voice which without any effort sounds very similar to that of Gene so it was only a natural progression that he should put together a show that showcased the music and uncanny sound of the voice of Gene Pitney

Tony as featured Genes music in his act since the late 70's due to the many requests from his own audiences but it wasn't till 2003 that he decide to dedicate a complete show to Gene Pitney. This was brought about with the help of Mike Fulwood management who was an acquaintance of Genes from the 70's and more recently the Dansatak agency. 

The Gene Pitney Memorial Fund Show

The show was a resounding success. We raised over £1500 for the fund and hopefully we will raise more by selling a cd of the nights show. These can be obtained by emailing kicks@ntlworld.com

Thank you for all the support we have recieved so far from the Gene Pitney fans throughout the world.

All the best Tony Lee

The Stage

Showcall Showcase 2004 -Day 1,

Tony Lee gets in his guise as a Gene Pitney tribute, he really sounds the part and obviously knows the back catalogue inside out. A little surprisingly, it was a cracking The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance that proved the highlight. There are plenty of older audiences out there who will enjoy Lee.
