Unfortunately this marriage of sounds of Sweet Gene Vincent`s voice and the late great Cliff` Gallup`s guitar defined Genes true sound for the rest of his life.His voice,full of menace was complemented by Cliffs strong guitar licks,full of menace themselves and gave a performance that was not,and is not easy to forget.I heard this when I was 11 years old and I still hang on every note of Cliff`s solos at 69 years old.Gene was never the same without Cliff,but Cliff,a true talent ,turned his back on showbiz to bring up his family, and remained semi -pro to the end of his (short) life.R.I.P.Cliff you are remembered.

Gene, with Cliff Gallup's great guitar, and Jack Neal's screams - evil and great!

One of my son's friends heard this on a c.d. playing in pick-up and said what is that? I told him this was real music. I also told him you just have to listen to it. No explanation is possible.

Gene Vincent recorded more than 200 songs including many of the finest and best loved Rock ‘n’ Roll classics such as Bluejean Bop, Lotta Lovin’ and Dance To The Bop. He became an enormously influential figure known for his black leather image, hell-raising lifestyle and the sheer brilliance of his wild stage act.
