Hello Mary Lou is one of several songs written by Gene Pitney. He is better known as a recording artist. You may have
heard him sing Blue Angel, Only Love Can Break a Heart, Town Without Pity, and (The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance.
-David Wright is widely admired as a top arranger in the barbershop style, and his arrangements are in great demand by quartet
and chorus performers everywhere.
An effective performance of this arrangement will feature a lively tempo and an accentuated ththrhythm. Within this
framework, performers should feel free to experiment with lyrical inflection and variations in note values to give the phrases
personality. The "walking bass" should be sung with abandon. The solo and duet passages in the second verse invite
improvisation, while the accompanying background parts call for pulse, energy, and accuracy. The tag should ascend to a
ringing climax. Maintain tempo through the last echoes into the final chord.
