Publisher's Synopsis
Famous for his classic hit 'Be-Bop-A-Lula,' Gene Vincent was one of the most influential rock 'n' roll artists of all time. This is the first American biography written of this rock pioneer and the most comprehensive account of his career and turbulent personal life. Adored by British and European fans, Gene Vincent moved to the UK in 1959 where his leather-clad, street-tough persona met with instant acclaim. The survivor of the crash that killed Eddie Cochran, his closest friend, he was to die himself at just 36, a victim of torment and tragedy. Illustrated.
