    Originally, it was the intent of Vincent Craddock to become a career officer with the U.S. Navy. However, this plan changed on July 4, 1965, when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that injured his leg severely enough that the medical team suggested amputation. Craddock refused, opting to live with a steel sheath around the leg and learning t...

    In 1956, Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-a-Lula” not only served as his highly successful debut single but as a potential rock and roll rival to Elvis Presley. Contracted by Capitol Records at the time, Vincent’s work was also published by Bill Lowery, who was instrumental in pushing “Be-Bop-a-Lula” to the height of its popularity by sending copies to vario...

    The signature look Gene Vincent was known for began in 1959 after appearing in a black leather jacket on Jack Good’s popular television program, Boy Meets Girl. This was Vincent’s first appearance in the UK as he also sported a pair of gloves, a medallion, as well as a hunched posture, giving off a cool, yet tough-guy image. After making his Europe...

    In 1961, Gene Vincent went back to performing tours in the UK but this was met with a series of gun-related issues that included a 1962 incident where he had an altercation at a girlfriend’s hotel. In 1963, he appeared in court for pointing a gun at Margaret Russell, his wife at the time. Despite these incidents, this did not dampen Vincent’s popul...

    Often, Gene Vincent bounced back and forth between America and England, extensively touring and recording in the process. This came to an end on October 12, 1971, at the age of thirty-six years old, due to heart failure, internal hemorrhaging, and a ruptured ulcer. He was visiting his father in California at the time.

    The iconic Gene Vincent was the first inductee into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, which began its own legacy in 1997. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame did the same the very next year, followed by the 2012 inclusion of the Blue Caps. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and on Grandy Street’s Music Walk of Fame in Norfolk, Virginia. The man...

    On the US Billboard Hot 100, “Race with the Devil” peaked as high as number ninety-six but performed even better on the US Cash Box at number fifty after it was released as a single in 1956. It was considerably more popular in the UK, charting as high as number twenty-eight on the official music chart there. Cliff Gallup was the lead guitarist behi...

    Gene Vincent’s final single to make a chart appearance was “I’m Going Home,” which peaked as high as number thirty-six on the UK Singles Chart in 1961. What made Gene Vincent such a heartthrob during his prime was his ability to go from The Screaming Endto a deep and lonesome lyrical narrator. In “I’m Going Home,” this performed beautifully song il...

    “She She Little Sheila,” with its tongue-dancing lyrics, featured Gene Vincent lyrically sharing what he thinks of his love interest in this bebop-style, rockabilly classic. On the UK Singles Chart, it peaked as high as number twenty-two after it was released in 1961. This was a solid return to the bebop style after a brief stint with pop-rock that...

    In 1960, “Wild Cat” was released as a single, which charted as high as number twenty-one on the UK Singles Chart. Of the musical material Gene Vincent had recorded and released up to this point, “Wild Cat” steered away from the bebop style that made him an iconic fan favorite. Now with a pop-rock flair, “Wild Cat” served as a lyrical warning not to...
