Stay With Me Here!
Don't SCROLL - Yet!
(Lord, Rocket's Gone Crazy!!!!!)
I Know I'm Goin' Real OLD SCHOOL Rock & Roll!
Let's Call It:
The New Wave of Early Rock & Roll!
You may have heard the Golden Earring song:
Just Like Vince Taylor...
Well, This Be Him...
Yeah, Vince was influenced by Elvis...
(Just like So Many Bands were by the Beatles!)
But, He was More, Musically, Anyway, Like Eddie Cochran!
As You Can Tell From This Old Release from 1961!
(These are French Pressings 'Cause Vince was More Popular in Other Parts of Europe, Than His Homeland, England!)
(Also, I'm Not Sure IF These were just Re-Issued from the Late 1950's OR were Re-Recordings as well!?!)
Vince Taylor & His Playboys - Sweet Little Sixteen EP - 1961
And, Apparently He was Quite the Spectacle!
He would Dance & Move about the stage,
Even Fallin' to it, Writhin' around,
All in Black Leathers!
From my research, I found:
The Chicks dug him!
The Guys wanted to be him!
His Band Hated Him!
They Hated Him So Much...
At One Point:
They Kicked Him Out of His Own Band and
Renamed themselves The Bobbie Clarke Noise!
(Bobbie Clarke was the Drummer...)
Vince Taylor was Supposedly Bowie's Inspiration
for Ziggy Stardust...
Also, The Clash would Cover Vince's
Brand New Cadillac
on Their London Calling album...
Thanks for the Vince Taylor. LSD destroyed him as well as many others
ReplyDeleteYep...He was a Wild One!
