Maybe someone my age can help [View all]

I am 74 years old and I have this memory of the song Burning Ring of Fire played on pop AM radio stations in the mid 1960s. It was not Johnny Cash or Anita Carter’s version. It was a male tenor singer. Somehow I remember Gene Pitney, but Liberty Vallance was still popular then, so maybe I mixed the 2 singers up.

I’ve tried to search for covers of the song, but no joy.

It is stupid, but it is like an ear worm. I don’t have the song running around my head, but the memory of who this guy was.
