Gene Pitney, "Mecca" (1963)

I posted this awhile back, but I’ve always loved the song.
And whoever put together this video was brilliant.

That's a great song and you're right about the video. It's perfect for the song.

Buster Keaton was a fantastic actor-comedian and I'm surprised that footage from his films isn't used more often in music videos. I once used a clip from one of his movies in a mashup video and it worked pretty well, I think.

Whoa Ms. Bijoux...now thats going waay back. I remember Jene Pitney for his song 'the man who shot Liberty Valance'.

@Dino11 This is my least favorite song of his, when he sings it. Dusty Springfield’s cover hits a little differently.

@Dino11 the sentiment of this song seems wrong to me. He was traveling to be with his woman but met someone better before he got there,

His voice was always different and
Special to me.
