Gene Vincent - Rock n Roll Singer (UK TV 1969)

Interesting find on YT. Love him or hate him this 1969 UK special reflects a very sad demise for one of the originals and loyal Rock n Rollers. What do others think ?

He tried to shoot Gary Glitter in the 60's so you've gotta like him just for that.

Gary Glitter said this himself when he was on This Is Your Life.

My girlfriend & I sailed on the MV Royal Daffodil from Gravesend for Calais on a Rock Across The Channel trip in '61.

Gene Vincent was supposed to join the ship at Southend, but he'd fallen downstairs & hurt his leg [we were told] & didn't show.

We had to settle for Tommy Bruce instead.

But we did get The Shadows, Duffy Power & a few I can't remember !
