Music Attitude Fun
This is a fascinating look at Sweet Gene as he is being filmed by the BBC for a documentary in November of 1969 in the UK. A behind the scene's look as he tours and performs. I love watching him and listening to him *** I also find it difficult to watch at times because I understood what was going on both on and off stage. I knew Gene for 14 years *** In my mind he was the King of Rock'N'Roll, his style and voice so unique and the voice of an angel when he sang ballads *** He put so much emotion and feelings into all of his music *** Often times telling his own story through his music. I see sadness and pain in his face. This was just two years before his passing, but I see the sweetness in the face that I loved so much. From 1957 'til the end I watched him step up on stage and blow the crowds away with such songs as "Be-Bop-A-Lula" , "Say Mama" , "Dance To The Bop", "High School Confidential", "Over The Rainbow", "Lotta' Lovin' " and one of my many favorites "Baby Blue". Everything he sang was terrific!!!!! He was a trailblazer in the world of Rock"N'Roll and Rock-A-Billy *** Gene was the "Roots Of Rock"N'Roll" *** In June of 1956 out of nowhere this very shy and modest youngman became a rock sensation. On stage he was full of fire, he soared and took the audience with him *** His first record was an instant hit *** "Be-Bop-A-Lula". Gene also had a fantastic band *** known as the greatest Rock'N'Roll band ever to emerge from the 1950's " THE BLUE CAPS " The band broke up in late summer /early fall of 1958. Gene continued on using back-up bands for the remaining years. He loved to sing, it was his life *** It was a gift from God and his gift to his many fans *** That fan base has exploded over the years as new generations have discovered the Magnificent GENE VINCENT *** I Loved him for his music and for the man I was blessed to know *** He rocked my world *** The sweetest man I ever knew *** Gene died at the young age of 36 *** He is Missed.
