This Gene Pitney composition seems to be an obscure one. So far I haven’t found any other versions, either by Pitney himself or by other artists. Please let me know if you know of any.
Beautiful As You is listed in Gene Pitney’s songwriting repertoire at BMI, and he copyrighted it with the US Copyright Office in August 1961.
For more about Sydney singing star Warren Williams, see his first single and hit Where My Baby Goes (She Goes With Me).
