Gene Vincent, born on February 11, 1935 in Norfolk, Virginia, was an American musician who played a crucial role in the development of rock and roll and rockabilly. His timeless hit "Be-Bop-a-Lula" released in 1956 with his band Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps is widely recognized as one of the early classics of rockabilly music. In recognition of his contributions to the genre, he was rightfully inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998) and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

Throughout his career, Gene Vincent's unique style influenced countless artists including *Eddie Cochran*, *Johnny Burnette*, *Carl Perkins*, *Jerry Lee Lewis*, and many more. His impact on the music industry cannot be overstated as he helped shape the sound that would define an entire generation.

Although Gene Vincent tragically passed away on October 12, 1971 in Newhall, California at a young age, his legacy lives on through his groundbreaking music that continues to inspire musicians today.

Sweet Gene Vincent. Great value compilation of one of rockabilly's true giants. 60 tracks over 3 CDs showcasing the talents of one of the great Rock 'n' Rollers and pioneer of Rockabilly. Be-Bop-A-Lula is rightly considered as a landmark recording of Rockabilly. He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
