motorcycle accident shattered his left leg in 1955, refused to have it amputated and left him chronic pain and permanent limp. But still he gave so much to the rockn roll music, Gene Vincent and E Cochran will never be forgotten
Gene Vincent was a great rock and roll singer. In Chile, was big hit (1957-1960). Chilean radios, now, play everyday his songs: Be-bop-a-lula, Baby Blue, Rip it up (sorry, I don't speak english...) CZcams search MANUEL VARGAS (DISCO 45 and VIVA EL ROCK AND ROLL) and you will see an honoring to many beautiful songs of these years.
I have loved Rockabilly music since I heard Elvis on my dad's 8-tracks in the 70's. There is a feeling that Rockabilly music can give that no matter how I try to describe it, I can't. This Gene Vincent cover of this song describes exactly why I love Rockabilly. Them guys back in the day didn't need fancy markting to sell there music. Their talent did the marketing. I never even heard this song before tonite and yet I get an eery feeling of deja vu, even a slight tear in my eye.
This is one man who was destined for superstardom if it hadn't been for the motorbike accident that done his leg & the horrific car crash that ended his friends life Eddie Cochran to which he never truly got over,RIP Gene Vincent you'll always be remembered.
I've heard many versions of this song from Jimmy Young to Elvis' and although I'm a hardened Elvis fan since the 1950's I have to say this version by Gene has to be the best recording made.
Gene under rated, was over shadowed by Elvis, I was never a fan of Elvis, he had good promoters. I will take Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins who I grew up with, I collected 45rpm records as that was what to buy. I still have those, plus the record player. That was great Rock N Roll music in my ERA, I still prefer to listen to those songs.
Philippe LEBLANC Je suis a chaque fois ému moi aussi j'ai du brouillard devant les yeux . Quand je l'écoute chanter il l'a chante comme on chante un cantique . Magnifique !!.
As a TeddyBoy who only had listened to Gene sing Rockers You Tube has certainly opened My eyes to what a Great Ballad Singer he was and this is not his Best Ballad He Was a Humble Man With A Great Talent The First & Forever (UK) TeddyBoy
A beautiful song sang by a beautiful man. We had this played in church at my daughter's funeral so it always brings back lots of memories for me. Thanks for posting this Lilly.
Hi there. Sorry came across your comment whilst watching GV videos. I just wanted to say, thanks for sharing your comment. I lost my Dad when I was 4 years old. I think it is hard for some people to actually understand what it is too lose someone who you value more than life itself. I hope that every day you think about your daughter and remember for who she was and smile......have a great day! and I hope this wasn't an inappropriate comment.
Digne des plus hauts rockeurs du Monde et qui nous a fait vibrer comme Elvis, il a sa place dans le panthéon du Rock,vive Gene vincent à tout jamais,tu régneras sur le paradis rock'n'roll Merci Gene.....................
was in liverpool 17 april at the great billy furys birthday celerbations to legands rocking in heaven gene was in my thoughts i miss him and billy a great deal thank you for your talent.
Gene vincent you are wonderfull l listening everytime this song but gene vincent this song different singing because from heart singing rock n roll this soul we are missing you gene vincent
This is a beautiful video,which I have watched many times.(even though it sometimes makes me cry) I cannot express how much I admire and adore Vince, maybe because I love an underdog and I feel he will never get the recogition his talent deserves.At least not in America.When I think of R&R ,this is the first guy am thinking about.Thank you for making me feel like I'm not a voice in the wilderness,thank you for helping to keep Gene Vincent's spirit alive. Long Live American Music.
Of all the versions of this song,nobody has sung it as beautifully as gene,and what a solo by cliff! It seems like gene was doomed from the start,but he left us some great music,so we owe it to him to keep listening.Gone to soon, but still here...........
I saw this quote and Its appropriate to put it here ... " Skinny White Sailor .. I miss your Sad Virginia Whisper .. I miss that voice that called to my Heart .. Sweet Gene Vincent .. Young and Old and Gone .."
I bought the 45 in a secondhand shop around 1969. (B side of "Brand new Beat). I played it to death for years, then cried when I dropped it and broke the edge. But I found another one, which I still have. What a voice. My favourite of his also.
Rock n roll's first wild man sounded just as great on slow songs like this and the beautiful "Time will Bring You Everything" as the aggressive blasters!
Just been to a rockabilly rave in Camber on the south coast of England. Very hardcore but the thing that stood out for me was the late great Gene Vincent tribute. Can’t get this version and Pink Thunderbird out of my head
what a true legend,i'm 33 and have grown up with this music as my parents love it,gene and eddie were true rockabillys,way ahead of their time and its so sad to think they died at a young age.......white lightening!!!
j'ai adoré ce chanteur ,j'aimais sa tendresse dans ses slows ,une révolution dans mon coeur d'ado ,lorsque je l'ai découvert en cocert à Nantes ....j'étais gamin ,et grâce à lui je le suis toujours ....merci Lilly amusicalement :)
What a GREAT video tribute to Gene Vincent!Thank you SO MUCH! Everybody knows that Gene was one of the greatest in Rock & Roll,but I wish everybody would realize that he was also a great ballad singer.This is one of my most favorite songs of all time,liking at least 8 different versions,my most favorite one being by the Blackwells but Gene's is a strong 2nd favorite.He had one of the greatest bands of them all.The Blue Caps should have recorded a "Gene Vincent Songbook".
that's what I liked about his over the rainbow version just pure singing not trying to impress with hitting octaves that only dogs can hear soft and reflective the way it was meant to be

Hi, You can this song on the Capitol Record 1957 "Gene Vincent and the Blues Caps". It's available on CD since 2002. One of his best records. Get it !!!
Lillyblue thanks for posting this. I met Gene Vincent several times when I was just a kid back in the 1960s and I like this song because it reminds me of his gentle side. Gene had a reputation as a wild man, but whenever I met him he was a perfect gentleman, sweet and caring towards his fans and very courteous.
motorcycle accident shattered his left leg in 1955, refused to have it amputated and left him chronic pain and permanent limp. But still he gave so much to the rockn roll music, Gene Vincent and E Cochran will never be forgotten
❤❤😊😊
I’m fu(hing in tears , my good lord . 😢
The late great Gene deserves more recognition
Saw Gene Vincent on both his UK tours at Mansfield Granada absolutely brilliant ,my then girlfriend screamed her head off.magic.
Si merece más reconocimiento.
Gene Vincent was a great rock and roll singer. In Chile, was big hit (1957-1960). Chilean radios, now, play everyday his songs: Be-bop-a-lula, Baby Blue, Rip it up (sorry, I don't speak english...)

this Is the song that convinced me Gene can really sing
I grew up listening to Gene and he has inspired many musicians, he was the true king of rock and roll.
My favourite version of this song. Gene Vincent was an American of Welsh descent. Enough said.
Haunting indeed, he can't be replaced!
Loved Gene Vincent under rated his entire career, and overshadowed by ELvis. I grew up with Gene Vincent, the way he sings this song is magic.
No body could do this song like Gene .
@@marijooneill8015 Of course not. Why would anyone want to sound like a frog on a log?
i have noticed most singers of this era could really SING!
Nobody can sing this like Gene voice of an Angel heart of a Rocker.
I have loved Rockabilly music since I heard Elvis on my dad's 8-tracks in the 70's. There is a feeling that Rockabilly music can give that no matter how I try to describe it, I can't.

I’m an Elvis fan but I’ve never liked Elvis’ version of this song… This Gene’s version is a very beautiful one
By far the Best
Gene under rated, was over shadowed by Elvis, I was never a fan of Elvis, he had good promoters. I will take Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins who I grew up with, I collected 45rpm records as that was what to buy. I still have those, plus the record player. That was great Rock N Roll music in my ERA, I still prefer to listen to those songs.
A chialer. Ce bon vieux Gene Vincent
La meilleure version de cette chanson.
Philippe LEBLANC Je suis a chaque fois ému moi aussi j'ai du brouillard devant les yeux . Quand je l'écoute chanter il l'a chante comme on chante un cantique . Magnifique !!.
A beautifully haunting version of a beautiful song. RIP Gene Vincent.
As a TeddyBoy who only had listened to Gene sing Rockers You Tube has certainly opened My eyes to what a Great Ballad Singer he was and this is not his Best Ballad
He Was a Humble Man With A Great Talent
The First & Forever (UK) TeddyBoy
Damn this version is amazing
Quelle voix de Gene Vincent.
Une merveille !
Our wedding song
Still married after 36 years and still love this
A beautiful song sang by a beautiful man. We had this played in church at my daughter's funeral so it always brings back lots of memories for me. Thanks for posting this Lilly.

told my daughters that's got to be played at mine
said it before and i'll say it again , Best Version Ever . you may be gone Gene but out memories and our hearts are still with you
first giant of rock'n'roll hall of fame
Gene Vincent was the top of the rockers/rockabilly stars. His live performances were astounding!
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !!
This song makes me cry, dont know why...
First time I heard Gene was as a kid seeing him clad in black leather on British tv clinging to the mic stand..... iconic. Been a fan ever since
I still love this.....
Gotta love this man. He is awesome . And another great one that left us way to early. Thank
You.. Peace
I do and thankyou xoxo

Gene Vincent is one best Rock`n`Rollers for ever since the world found this wonderful style!

This was one of my favorite songs by Gene. His voice.
My Grandfather played in his group "Gene Vincent and the Bluecaps" :)

I saw this quote and Its appropriate to put it here ...
" Skinny White Sailor ..
I miss your Sad Virginia Whisper ..
I miss that voice that called to my Heart ..
Sweet Gene Vincent ..
Young and Old and Gone .."
This has always been the finest version of this song...
Bar none!
This is my all time fave of his.. i heard it when i was 13..and to this day it is still my fave xox
I bought the 45 in a secondhand shop around 1969. (B side of "Brand new Beat). I played it to death for years, then cried when I dropped it and broke the edge. But I found another one, which I still have. What a voice. My favourite of his also.
I luvyua Baby Blue Lilly !!! thanks for the great photos of the Boss & the GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND OF ALLTIME!!
i think so, such emotion when singing xox
Rock n roll's first wild man sounded just as great on slow songs like this and the beautiful "Time will Bring You Everything" as the aggressive blasters!
I love this version.
Thanks for the pictures of Eddie Cochran with Vincent!
inoubliable !
Superbe interprétation voix mélodieuse j aime énormément
I know this version from a Gene Vincent CD I have , In my humble opinion it come very close to being the best version ever.
First comment from 2007 wow
Just been to a rockabilly rave in Camber on the south coast of England. Very hardcore but the thing that stood out for me was the late great Gene Vincent tribute. Can’t get this version and Pink Thunderbird out of my head
tastefully done with great feeling.Gene was a fav of mine when I was 15 in 1955
Beautiful melody and Gene's voice is dreamy... I'm swooning.. :) xx
Terrific version !
Jene vincent est un de mes préférer dans le rock
Got TO SEE HIM PLAY A FEW TIMES IN duluth,minn. HE WAS THE BEST!! rEALLY COOL, hE WAS rOCK AND rOLL..!
Our "Baby Blue" boy. Gone but not forgotten.

He sounds like his friend Eddie Cochrane,
On this one R.I.P too both .
Nice. Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)
what a true legend,i'm 33 and have grown up with this music as my parents love it,gene and eddie were true rockabillys,way ahead of their time and its so sad to think they died at a young age.......white lightening!!!

j'ai adoré ce chanteur ,j'aimais sa tendresse dans ses slows ,une révolution dans mon coeur d'ado ,lorsque je l'ai découvert en cocert à Nantes ....j'étais gamin ,et grâce à lui je le suis toujours ....merci Lilly
amusicalement :)
Je suis né 31 ans après sa mort, et je ne l'ai découvert qu'a l'age de 13 ans...J'aurais aimé être né avant et l'entendre en concert
This is the best version of this song I have heard, Pure english rocker at his best.......
Gene was an original and great talent. It's sad he was taken from us too soon.
I love it!! THANKS!! IT'S one of my favorite songs. Stay safe!!!
un grand du rock !
peut etre le plus grand
What a GREAT video tribute to Gene Vincent!Thank you SO MUCH!

Slow, easy and sexy version of this song--Gene's way. It works for me more than loud, screaming versions.
that's what I liked about his over the rainbow version just pure singing not trying to impress with hitting octaves that only dogs can hear soft and reflective the way it was meant to be
Il testo e la traduzione di Unchained Melody - Melodia Senza Catene
Oh, my love (Oh mio amore)
my darling (mio tesoro)

and time can do so much (e il tempo può fare così tanto)
are you still mine? (sei ancora mia?)
I need your love (Ho bisogno del tuo amore)
I need your love (Ho bisogno del tuo amore)
Godspeed your love to me (che Dio aumenti il tuo amore per me)
Lonely rivers flow to the sea (fiumi solitari scorrono verso il mare)
to the sea (verso il mare)
to the open arms of the sea (le braccia aperte del mare)
lonely rivers sigh “wait for me, wait for me (fiumi solitari sussurrano “aspettami, aspettami)
I’ll be coming home wait for me” (tornerò a casa, aspettami)

Gene Vincent does a great version of over the rainbow. Rip
Mi piace bravo super
Gene belongs in my 50 jaar Rock Playlist to.
i love all his ballads he always has such emotion when singing them :)
RIP Elvis Presley, and RIP Gene Vincent.
Both of you rules!
Hi,
You can this song on the Capitol Record 1957 "Gene Vincent and the Blues Caps". It's available on CD since 2002. One of his best records. Get it !!!
Merveilleuse version; la plus belle, à mon avis. C'était un des meilleurs !!!!
Poor Gene, lost Eddie, injured leg and aged fast after 1962 due to painkillers and heavy smoking. He had a great talent!
Amazing, so simple and pure!! Really an underrated version.
Lillyblue thanks for posting this. I met Gene Vincent several times when I was just a kid back in the 1960s and I like this song because it reminds me of his gentle side. Gene had a reputation as a wild man, but whenever I met him he was a perfect gentleman, sweet and caring towards his fans and very courteous.
love it 😭👍
love this tune :)
Thanks for this, Lilly. There was a time when Gene was a cool name. What a great talent and such a great influence on so many artists.
Gene is still a cool name….but ive never seen an Englishman with it..surprisingly..met a few aaron’s though…
heres to you misslillyblue, heroes never die..
