Barbara Pittman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Pittman (April 6, 1938 - October 29, 2005) was one of the few female singers to record at Sun Studio. As a young teenager she recorded some demos of songs for others. Pittman's most popular recordings include "I Need A Man" on the Sun label and "Two Young Fools In Love", released on Sam Phillips' International label. It is thought that she could have had much more success except that she did not receive much promotion.[1]
The families of Elvis Presley and Barbara Pittman were friends.[1]
She spent time working in Lash LaRue's western shows. After Sun, she moved to California and appeared in several motorcycle films.[1]
