MM – 1965

Released in 1965, “Looking Through The Eyes Of Love” became one of Gene Pitney’s most memorable hits, peaking at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. Written by the legendary songwriting duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the song showcases Pitney’s powerful, emotive vocals and dramatic orchestral arrangement, a hallmark of his signature style. The lyrics convey a sense of romantic longing and vulnerability, with Pitney pleading for love and understanding. Though not as chart-topping as some of his earlier hits (“Town Without Pity,” “It Hurts to Be in Love”), the song remains a fan favorite and a quintessential example of 1960s pop balladry. Its lush production and heartfelt delivery solidify its place as a timeless piece of Pitney’s musical legacy.
