"Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart" is a song written by Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook.
Originally recorded by David and Jonathan, and then Gene Pitney in 1967, the latter's version of the song reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1967,[1] but failed to chart in the United States. The song was subsequently covered by a number of other artists.
It achieved its greatest success in 1988 when the UK-based Some Bizzare Records label released a cover version by Marc Almond. Originally recorded by Almond alone for his 1988 album The Stars We Are, the single version was remixed to also include new vocals from Gene Pitney. Their version became a number one single in the UK for four weeks in January 1989.[2] The music video for this version was filmed on-location in Las Vegas.[3]
