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.

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 !
