	Gene Vincent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		That year, Vincent was reputedly convicted of public obscenity and fined $10,000 by the state of Virginia for his live performance of the erotic song, "Woman Love", although this is now believed to have been just a rumor.
		In 1960, while on tour in Britain, Vincent and songwriter Sharon Sheeley were seriously injured in a high-speed traffic accident in a private hire taxi travelling through Chippenham, Wiltshire on the A4.
		Gene Vincent died from a ruptured stomach ulcer while visiting his father in California, and is interred in the Eternal Valley Memorial Park, Newhall, California.

		Gene Vincent (February 11, 1935 - October 12, 1971) was an American rockabilly musician, best known for his hit "Be-Bop-A-Lula".
		After "Be-Bop-A-Lula" became a huge hit in 1956, Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with mainstream success in spite of critically acclaimed songs like "Bluejean Bop" and "Race with the Devil".
		Gene Vincent is interred in the Eternal Valley Memorial Park, Newhall, California.

	Gene Vincent - Biography - AOL Music
		Gene Vincent only had one really big hit, "Be-Bop-a-Lula," which epitomized rockabilly at its prime in 1956 with its sharp guitar breaks, spare snare drums, fluttering echo, and Vincent's breathless, sexy vocals.
		Vincent had his second and final Top Twenty hit in 1957 with "Lotta Lovin'," which reflected his increasingly tamer approach to production and vocals, the wildness and live atmosphere toned down in favor of poppier material, more subdued guitars, and conventional-sounding backup singers.
		Vincent never stopped trying to resurrect his career, appearing at a 1969 Toronto rock festival on the same bill as John Lennon, though his medical, drinking, and marital problems were making his life a mess, and diminishing his stage presence as well.

		Vincent made a demo of the record, arrangements were made for a back-up group, and a contract was signed with Capitol Records.

	Gene Vincent
		When Gene's popularity started to wane in the U.S. and he was in a spot of bother with musician's union he became more involved in pursuing a career in the U.K. and Europe where his popularity remained strong on the large Teddy Boy and Rocker circuits.
		It was while Gene Vincent was touring England in 1960 that he was in a car crash which claimed the life of his friend and fellow musician Eddie Cochran.
		Gene Vincent has had more tribute records made about him than any other rocker except Elvis proving that his influence and legend are greater than can be measured by looking at chart placement.

		Gene Vincent Craddock was a great rockabilly artist who, with his excellent backup group "The Blue Caps," had a number of hits.
		The song was recorded at Sunset Sound in Hollywood on July 1, 1966, during the same session that Gene recorded Jimmy's song, "Love Is a Bird." Jimmy was generally relegated to tenor sax and an occasional backing vocal for the Challenge sessions, while Dash's place was behind his drum set.
		Most of the recordings were released on various lp's in Europe, not in the U.S. Thus, Gene's output remained mostly unknown to his American fans during those years.

		Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps, cut in October 1956, only four months after its predecessor, came about under slightly less favorable circumstances than the Bluejean Bop album.
		Vincent's singing also stands out on his dark, moody, ominous rendition of the Delmore Brothers' "Blues Stay Away From Me." And the band runs circles around virtually every other white rock & roll outfit of the period.
		Unfortunately, Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps would also be the last time that this version of the band would turn up on record with Vincent -- Gallup soon left again, and in less than three months, every member of the group except drummer Dickie Harrell would be gone.

	Mick Farren - Gene Vincent: There's One In Every Town
		Mick Farren has long acknowledged Gene Vincent as being one of his all-time idols, and Farren’s debt – not to mention countless others of his generation - is obvious, a point on which Farren is at pains to labour throughout the book.
		Vincent’s influence over ensuing generations should not be underestimated either, and as Farren says, ‘without him, there would have been no Jim Morrison, no Sid (Vicious), no Marilyn Manson, and even Elvis would have struggled’.
		On the whole, Gene Vincent: There’s One In Every Town is a well balanced piece of work by a genuine enthusiast whose admiration of Vincent is obvious, but who is equally able to recognise the late man’s flaws too.

	Gene Vincent Discography at CD Universe
		Q (10/94, p.146) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Between 1966 and `67 Gene Vincent made a valiant attempt to resurrect the successes of his `50s heyday with a collection of singles for the small Californian label, Challenge..." Recorded in 1966 and 1967.
		Rockabilly god Gene Vincent only had one major hit--the epochal "Be-Bop-A-Lula"--but he nevertheless helped to define the genre, with his hiccuping vocals, hard-edged tone, and the backing of his deservedly legendary band the Blue Caps.
		Many of Vincent's '50s records are rightly revered today as among the greatest of the period.

	LivinBlues- Gene Vincent
		The leather-clad, limping, greasy-haired singer was also one of the first of Rock n' Roll's bad boys, lionized by romanticists of past and present generations attracted to primitive, sometimes savage style and indomitable Rockabilly spirit.
		Vincent had his second and final Top 20 hit in 1957 with 'Lotta Lovin', which reflected his increasingly tamer approach to production and vocals.
		Gene Vincent died at the age of 36 from a ruptured stomach ulcer, one of Rock's first mythic figures.

	GENE VINCENT
		This is what made Gene a very different artist to his lighthearted friend,Eddie Cochran - a man who defined commercial rock 'n' roll better than most.
		Gene was born Eugene Vincent (or was it Vincent Eugene!
		For every "Walking home from school" or "There I go again" in Gene's career,there was a tough blues like "Should I ever love again".Gene could 'pay the bills' by recording the commercial rock 'n' roll rubbish (which he never truly liked) but his taste was much deeper than that as his other performances proved.

		Vincent himself died in 1971 at the age of thirty-six from a ruptured stomach ulcer, but bassist Jack Neal -- one of two surviving members of the group, along with drummer Dickie Harrell -- still remembers the early recording sessions vividly.
		Neal was playing in country-western acts and in the house band at Virginia radio station WCMS in the mid-Fifties when a young Gene Vincent walked in to audition.
		Soon after, Vincent, Neal, Harrell and guitarist Cliff Gallup became known as Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and made the rounds at TV shows like The Perry Como Show and American Bandstand.

		"Let's rock again!" Gene Vincent screams in his signature rocker, "Be Bop-A-Lula," and throughout this 20-song document of the first heady year of his career, he and the Blue Caps (surely, the greatest rockabilly band ever) do just that, again and again, rocking with controlled abandon--though just barely controlled.
		Gene Vincent is probably one of the most forgotten acts from the '50's, because other than "Be-Bop-A-Lula", you ususally won't hear any of his songs on any oldies stations.
		Gene and his Blue Caps are all great musicians, but guitarist Cliff Gallup really steals the show on most of the songs.

		I know you've probably heard of Gene and his biggest hit Be Bop a Lula ("She-ee-eee's my baaaay-bah"), but maybe you don't know about some of his other great performances or his fantastic band.
		Gene gave all he had when he performed, and for that he should always be remembered and rediscovered.

		To add to the on-stage excitement, Gene was joined by his old pal Eddie Cochran for the famed but fateful "Anglo- American Beat Show" tour put together by Larry Parnes.
		While he was away, Capitol Records of the UK attempted to keep Gene's chart successes going by releasing "Anna- Annabelle" (recorded in 1958) and "Jezebel" (recorded in 1956).
		Until mid-1958, every Capitol Gene Vincent single was released in 78-rpm and 45-rpm formats.

	The Observer \| Review \| Wot? No Gene Vincent?
		Hornby further acknowledges the frustration the music-lover can feel when people he or she is attempting to interest in the best bits of records simply won't listen.
		And there's a bit in another Gene Vincent song, 'Gonna Back Up Baby', which is completely unintelligible, yet I love it.
		It sounds as though Gene is singing: 'Well, I'm gonna cuckmer cuckmunter you gahdin.' When I was younger and, frankly, a little crazy, I would play this bizarre extract to acquaintances and offer them my entire record collection if they could, without consultation, decipher the words.

		Gene Vincent may have had only had one really big hit, 'Be-Bop-a-Lula', but his place as one of the great early rock and roll singers is secure, due to a wealth of fine recordings that rate among the best rockabilly of all time.
		The four bonus tracks were recorded for Johnnie Walker's Radio 1 programme the following year.
		Gene tragically died a few days after recording this session, aged just 36.

		After Gene's spectacular appearance, my buddies and myself went on stage to meet the man in person, and to have a talk while most of the musicians were packing up.
		I'm happy to have been able to meet Gene in 1958, and to perform on a show with him, as we had a lot in common.
		It's great to be in good musical company with similar goals in mind, to preserve the memory and music of one of the world's greatest rock 'n' rollers, Gene Vincent.
