Gene Vincent
Rockabilly god Gene Vincent only had one major hit--the epochal "Be-Bop-A-Lula"--but he nevertheless helped to define the genre, with his hiccuping vocals, hard-edged tone, and the backing of his deservedly legendary band the Blue Caps. Many of Vincent's '50s records are rightly revered today as among the greatest of the period. The Virginia-born singer was the archetypal rock & roll bad-boy, with a limp from a motorcyle accident and a predilection for black leather. He survived a subsequent car crash that took the life of peer Eddie Cochran, but finally drank himself to death in 1971.
