I've mentioned for years how much I enjoy the film "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", John Ford's masterpiece starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Lee Marvin.
The song, itself, is equally as special.
So, today, I offer you different men (and McGuire Sisters, too) who sang the song.
Your beloved "Pilgrim" and "Dude" (to quote Lee Marvin from the film),

Even before Gene Pitney imprinted the tune into the minds of western film fans, the song was recorded by:
(Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance - Richard Maltby (#14 - 1956)
(Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance - Elmer Bernstein (#16 - 1956)
(Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance - Dick Jacobs (#22 - 1956)
(Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance - The McGuire Sisters (#37 - 1956)
