GENE VINCENT

“A Rockabilly Hero”

Tonight, we dedicate the show to the one of the kings of rock n’ roll, GENE VINCENT. He died on this day of ulcer complications back in 1971. Like Eddie Cochran, he’s never been FULLY appreciated. You have to hear Gene Vincent to believe it. His recordings have influenced anyone with a guitar and the need to scream and yell over the breaks. So, ah, they’ve certainly influenced me. He was Capitol Records answer to Elvis and he’s OUR answer to dull, boring programming. Don’t miss Gene Vincent‘s story, Wednesday Night 4pm PST / 7pm EST on the Night Prowl Show.

West Coast Wednesday will return NEXT week.
