Pat Fortune

Pat Fortune (born Pat LaCanfora) was a recording artist with Liberty Records in the early 1960s. He also sang back up with the band, the Cheers, who had a top ten hit with the single "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots." A vocalist in the tradition of Bobby Darin, he also worked in and around L.A. area recording studios as a session vocalist from the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s. In the wake of label mate Eddie Cochran's untimely death, Fortune was called in to stand in for him on a broadcast of American Bandstand.
