    I'm from Portsmouth, VA. Gene Vincent is one of my favorite rockabilly artists. He's the coolest of the cool.

    Whoa...Love hearing Gene talk to that BBC reporter at 4:43; he's clearly annoyed but is still polite, keeps his cool, and makes a clear statement about what he believes.

      Yeah ,loved that too; it's natural these old rockers stuck together , even though Heinz actually was mediocre cabaret . It seems Gene felt addressed by that put down of Heinz , because his own career had seen better days.

    Rock N Roll was born in France with Gene Vincent. I'm Canadian and back in 59-60 we wern't hearing much of Gene, Eddie,Jerry Lee and all other wild cats of Rock. Unfortunately the Frankies and Bobbies all those teen idols had taken over the music! Was very surprised about that time, picked up a magazine from France and there was Gene on the cover dressed in black leather (something I had never seen him done on US shows. He was responsable for Rock to be born in France and influenced the first French rock singers: Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, Dick Rivers. At that time I took a break from US or Canadian mucic charts and began looking towards Europe where they were discovering the REAL ROCKERS!

    I remember watching Gene Vincent on local tv news show having a debate with one of his promoters who was ripping into Gene saying he was outdated .and basically a washed up artist , this was just before he passed away, I was only about 12 but it stuck with me all those yrs, i felt sorry for the guy and how he was spoken to.

    Un sublime document sur le grand gene vincent avec les blues caps. Grand admirateur d elvis presley. Gene avait comme meilleur ami eddy cochrane qui a été tué dans un accident de taxi gene etait avec lui il s en sortira sonné. On dit qu a partir de cette accident gene portera une prothèse sur ca jambe droite droite en faite la véritable raison fut un accident de moto anterieur a l accident avec eddy.

    Most bands used the slap bass as a drum back beat, then Buddy Holly saw Elvis and his band included a drummer,
    then Buddy found a drummer, up intill Elvis, most bands did not have a drummer as it would drowned out the rest of the band
    which was over come by the electric guitar/bass using amps......

      @NolanVoid-dr1ch That wasn't the point was it. The idiot in the video made an ahistorical statement that black artists didn't start becoming popular charting artists until the mid 1950s when there were blacks artists who were megastars long before that and I stayed two examples Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong but there are many others like Ella Fitzgerald etc... these artists by today's standards would have been platinum selling artists based on record sales. The only reason why they're famous and remembered today is because they were extremely famous back then lol
      Most of the charts in the early 1940s were based on radio polls

      Yes but Waters wasn't doing rock n roll he was purely blues Johnny Cash also had that line-up in 55 as far as I know Holly was the only guitarist in his band he played rhythm and lead himself didn't need another guitarist. Also Elvis was playing with that line-up in 55.

    Hate the way these history revisionists try to big up performers who came after Elvis
    Elvis did it it first, before Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran it was the influence of Elvis that inspired the majority of those that followed him
