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!

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.

@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.
