Today’s “forgotten” artist is another Hall of Fame inductee. Gene Pitney entered the Rock Hall in 2002, which feels like a bit of a reach given that he had fewer hits and less influence than some of the others acts I’ve featured.
Pitney’s best-known single is ‘(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance,’ a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David that was not included in the movie of the same name (despite Paramount paying for the recording session).
