Thi guy was so underrated and over shadowed but not forgotten. Began listening to vintage music after American pop culture turned toxic in the mid '90s... I heard ALL kinds of music BUT nowadays it shouldn't be called music ...
I wasn’t even born until 1963 but I learned to love Gene Vincent thanks to my parents playing his records on Sunday mornings. He was such a great singer/songwriter and very handsome too. Life is cruel. Rock in peace mr. Vincent.
Gene Vincent, a guy by todays standards isn't very well known, but he sure was so well respected by every other artists and isn't that what really counts ?
@@akonnnnnnn ...and he probably would be if it weren't for the fact that he hasn't been played in fifty years, nobody under forty has ever heard of him except, the few that know a little music history.
I'm just 13 years old and I love this music. It holds a special place in my heart and one of my biggest wishes would be to live, even for a day in that era. It's sad when your idols are all dead. When you crack a smile when you listen to dead people sing. One day I hope the world at large holds a mirror to itself and realizes how far we have departed from good old values like those in the 50s. For all those who listen to this music and are around my age you have my utmost respect for helping to carry on the most amazing time in American History (I'm from Canada so us too).
@@stuartwray6175 Lol, true dat. I'm 76 and was a teen and a musician ( played piano in a few good Doo Wop and blues bands ) back then. J. Edgar Hoover and a whole lot of other white people wanted to kill people like Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee, Buddy Holly etc. I feel blessed to have been a young impressionable teen that was privileged to be alive to see these great artists in person.
I was 13 when this came out and it is impossible to say how mind blowing it was.You would have to have been a kid yourself brought up on inane dross to appreciate it. Even with Buddy, Elvis, Eddie, Little Richard and Jerry Lee knocking out great rock n roll this was in a class of its own.
First time I heard this song was in the old British Legion in Dowlais Merthyr Tydfil on the juke box to the left of the bar, it totally blew me away I was with my girlfriend at the time who loved all things 50's. The guitar riff and gene Vincents' voice was something else, it was the 87 and a good place to be. wish I'd been there in the 50's when the teenagers had the best times and music along with the fashion and styles
I was driving on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood when I first heard this song. Since I didn't hear who the artist was, I called the radio station the next day to find out. Been a Gene Vincent fan ever since.
The Most popular of his songs!!Its too bad he didn't have more songs like this to sing!!!Talented singer,I have some of his 45 RPM in my Record Collection.Thanks for Posting!!! Mar.1,2017 Wednesday.
I have always loved the opening guitar lick by Johnny Meeks on this recording. I met him in California a few years ago at a Gene Vincent Tribute Show in Van Nuys, CA. RIP Johnny, you were a great guitar player !
Another lead man for Gene was Jerry Merritt. He was our Music Director for my band, the Velvet Illusions, in 1966-67. We recorded 2 of his songs, which are on our 50 year anniversary respective CD and LP. Jerry was amazing.
I was just about to comment that Gene looked like he was pretty bad at lip-syncing, then I read the Description. Funny! It's amazing how well some of the claps and dance moves sync with the audio.
My mum met Gene Vincent when he sang at USAAF base in Mildenhall Suffolk in 1961. He went back to my grandmas with my mum and some of their friends. He wanted my mum to be his gf and return to the USA with him. Mum and my grandma always blamed Gene for mum smoking lol
Greatest rock a billy star ever, unfortunately the accident with Eddie Cochran stopped his career, as well who knows what Eddie Cochran would have done
I Think This Song Was Better Than Be Bop A Lula, Guitar Work Is Unreal, Also, Gonna Back Up Baby, Classic, Don't Hear Music Like This Now, Jimmy Campbell😊
This clip is from the movie "Hot Rod Gang" at Gene's TV afternoon rehearsal. He is singing a different song as well. There is a dance number and John Ashley sings as well. Fender guitar and amp lovers there is a lot of vintage gear.
GENE IS YOUNG HERE BUT STILL LOOKS OLDER THAN HE IS .TAKE A LOOK AT PHOTOS OF HIM IN THE LATE 60'S AND 70/71 and you would think he is 60 instead of 36 at the time of his death. RIP GENE VINCENT CRADDOCK.
I am old enough to remember the advent of those first rockers. Gene Vincent was amongst that august body. It was a night in I would think, 1960/1. Gene had had his accident (the day Eddie Cochran died), and he was playing at Peterborough Corn Exchange. Gene walked close by me, going to the bar. I shall always remember with affection those days & nights of my youth.
The best of gean vincent
This is what the radio needs now
This is the best type of music that never dies. Long live Rockabilly and Rock N Roll 🎸
Have Alot Of His Albums.They Ar r Rare And Worth Alot.Gene Was Awesome!

The original Playlist 50s place of #RocknRoll
I was there to from Al yes they were great good music
Gene passed in my home town of Newhall CA. and rests here.
1957 and this was the beginning.. what a true artist Gene Vincent was ...
Still a huge classic and very entertaining
I saw gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran,and Gerry Keller at the hippodrome Brighton in the 60s they were great.
I was so fan about this rock a billy… i ´m nostaligic off this Time … but now it’s to late

You are so right young person.I was there and it was great to be alive.The time will never come again, but thank the Lord, the music is saved.
Oww... Gene was a real macho and great artist. And i say a more - i love to look at him on stage.

julie j ai eu la chance de voir gégéne 2 fois en 1963
He and his Bluecaps, send Rock and Roll into orbit. No doubts.

So True.
Господи! Ну почему я снова и снова смотрю и слушаю это?
Your playlist is priceless. Thank you for sharing
What a great time to grow up in😊 so many great groups and songs 🎼🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧
Pure gem from an incredible period of music.

For many at the time, Rock'n'Roll didn't sit easily with "50's values"
Keep it alive, 13 yrs old. Are you really 13. You write like a 15 yrs old.
We lived this and miss all of the greats. It won't be long and we will be joining them. We will always have those great memories.

I love how the backup clappers stand right in front of the band.
Gene vincent is and all ways be the king of Rockabilly
Im only 16 but i really like this music i wish i have born in that time
This is the music I grew up with and it was great. You're lucky you can find it all on youtube or Sirius radio.
Ron Regan thank you , I’m really glad i can listen to this masterpiece
Lotta music, Lotta loving. Lotta honesty. Grand, very grand. TX Gene. Old Hippie, Cape Town.
Back in the days when rock and roll stars where wild. Gene and Blue Caps music was wild and spontaneous. How friggin cool do this lot look.
Happy Heavenly 89th Birthday Gene Vincent February 11 1935 - October 12 1971
A sensitive artist, touched by grace; one of the few stars that illuminated the 60s ...
... and 50's too !
50s.
I do love

Great!!! Gene Vincent, such a great artist
He is rock and roll
He was the coolest rock n roller 50s around with the legendary rest 😎🎙🎸🎵
Rip GV
One of his best. Blue caps adding the bop. Cliff the sassy guitar. Winning combo. Gene never did a bad record.
Humity Dumpity
Ну, почему я не родился раньше своих родителей? Какая же была музыка!
I will be in heaven Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran 👍
Happy birthday to Gene Vincent his birthday verse is Psalm 2:11 his Birth Card ♦️ is Ace of Spades! Rest in Peace ☮️🕊️ Blessings and Hugs 💖🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏!
One of the best songs ever and the video with the backup guys is wonderful
Great song, great singer. His music sounds as fresh today as it did back in the 1950s
Im guessing that's because todays music is crap
@@old65rocker Guessing wrong as always. Shitting on other people's music does not make yours better.
Gene Vincent super. благодарю канал за трансляцию.
I have always loved the opening guitar lick by Johnny Meeks on this recording. I met him in California a few years ago at a Gene Vincent Tribute Show in Van Nuys, CA. RIP Johnny, you were a great guitar player !
It sounds like Cliff Gallup on his Duo-Jet. He was much better than Johnny Meeks!
Another lead man for Gene was Jerry Merritt. He was our Music Director for my band, the Velvet Illusions, in 1966-67. We recorded 2 of his songs, which are on our 50 year anniversary respective CD and LP. Jerry was amazing.
@@SquireRic According to Kenny Vaughan it's actually Buck Owens on that rhythm riff and Johnny Meeks on lead.

A great song by one of the best!
Sweet Gene *** Simply The Very Best *** Have loved him forever *** To The Moon And Back *** Took my breath away ! RIP
Great rockabilly song! Gene was great on his own after Eddie Cochran died. Rock and roll forever!
Why did he always look to Heaven, did he have inside information?🎉
La plus belle voie du monde !!
the birth of it all... that guitar sound... it all came from this
I think the lead guitarist is Cliff Gallup.Way ahead of his time.
@@John-ob7dh oh yeah! Glorious Cliff Gallup!
Rock n roll again at last
The Clapper Boys were a nice touch .

What a very nice voice he had!
I remember reading somewhere decades ago that his crystal clear voice was the result of having a very high top of his mouth
Cooooool!!!

Actuó en el Cavern de Liverpool,compartiendo escenario con los Beatles,cuando aún no eran famosos mundialmente.Hay una foto de aquella reunión.
