Ugh!

SubstituteRadioDude is playing Seasons in the Sun again.

Let's try this one. It made it only to #42 in 1961, so let's see how y'all do without looking it up. Name the artist:

I hardly ever thank the stars above
For sending me your very precious love
You never hear me say a prayer
Of thanks to someone 'way up there
Who gave me such a lucky *break*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I take

And every time we have to be apart
I hardly ever find you in my heart
And when it comes to thinking of
The thought of losing all your love
I never worry how my heart would ache

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm *awake*

<instrumental>

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm awake

Oh-aah, ev'ry little breath I take
Ev'ry little step I *make*
Ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ev'ry breath I take

Is this a Gene Pitney song??

Sounds like it might be but I can't place it.

Could be a Pitney clone, though.

I believe Ms. Melly is on the money..."Every Breath I Take" by Gene Pitney .

MsMelly is indeed in the money. Well done, Melly and TBone.

Gene Pitney Trivia

Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote a song called "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", which became a Top 10 Hit for Gene Pitney but was not used in the movie. Instead, the main titles contain a hard-driving theme used in an earlier John Ford production.
