Gene teve uma carreira interessante e de boa qualidade mas um tanto curiosa. Como cantor, só fez sucesso interpretando composições de outros com as músicas "Every Breath I Take", "That Girl Belongs To Yesterday", "I'm Gonna Be Strong", "Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart", "Nessuno Mi Puoi Giudicare", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "24 Hours From Tulsa", enquanto suas próprias canções ajudaram muito outros intérpretes como Ricky Nelson com "Hello Mary Lou", Crystals com "He's A Rebel" e Bobby Vee com "Rubber Ball".

GD For twenty-two days I’ve stood in the welfare line D7G Without an education a job was hard to find G7C And up in front of me were ten thousand plus nine GDG And I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
GD I tried to sell some pencils on the street D7G But found my luck to sell was just weak G7C I’m ashamed to have to pretend that I am blind GDGG7 But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
DG Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s, I owe everybody in town AA7D Everyday I say I’m getting on up put I keep going down
And I’ve signed every paper in town that I could sign But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
Well the internal revenue department is having fits They claim I underpaid them by six pence If I wound up in court I’ll serve out ninety-nine Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime Yes I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
