Gene Pitney memorably sang "Only Love Can Break a Heart." But word of his death is proving equally saddening. The melodramatic crooner, who earned a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for writing and performing a string of chart hits through the 1960s, including collaborations with Ricky Nelson, Carole King, Burt Bacharach, Phil Spector and the Rolling Stones, was found dead Wednesday in a hotel room in Wales. The cause of death is yet to be determined, but local authorities say the 65-year-old singer's death does not appear to be suspicious.
