July 22, 2022 Record of the Day

Barbara Pitman stands out in Rock N Roll history as one of the few female singers in the fifties to record at Sun Studios, which was dominated my male stars like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. Due to little promotion, her records are not well known. Her recording career was over by 1960. So she split for California and can be seen in several motorcycle movies. An original copy of her 1956 single “I Need A Man,” released on Sun, is worth up to $600.00 today.
