"It Hurts To Be In Love" #7 10/3/1964

If you think this is a Neil Sedaka record, you're almost 100% right. See, Neil recorded this in a non-RCA approved studio, thus violating his contract. RCA wouldn't release the song, so he took the master tapes to his bud Gene Pitney, who substituted his lead vocals. Everything else about the record is a Neil Sedaka production right down to leaving in Neil's harmony vocals. Gene did a couple of successful country duets with George Jones in the mid 60's as well.
