Sometimes I hear a song and wonder how I've never heard it before.
For example - how have I lived this long without hearing this epic Gene Pitney tune?
Second question - how was this not a colossal hit? It got to #92 in the US and #38 in Australia, but didn't even chart in the UK.
Billy, You're My Friend was written by Edward Louis Goldman... who doesn't appear to have written much else of note. Yet this song could well be the missing link between Jimmy Webb and Jim Steinman.
