Barbara Pittman

Barbara Pittman has been played on NTS in shows including Jazzman, featured first on 14 February 2017. Songs played include Handsome Man.

Barbara Pittman (April 6, 1938 – October 29, 2005) was an American rockabilly singer, 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.

The families of Elvis Presley and Barbara Pittman were friends.

She spent time working in Lash LaRue's western shows. After Sun, she moved to California and appeared in several motorcycle films.
