Gene Vincent & The Wildcats - Summertime

[joriszsz]

My favorite version of the song, after Santo & Johnny...

[SirBasildeBrush]

@joriszsz Yeah S&J did a great bleusy version. Ronnie Hawkins' 1960 version is the one for me.

[Komboize]

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks.

Whenever I hear Santanas' "Black Magic Woman"...I think of this classic Gene Vincent track!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Similar minor-key chord progressions, love them both. Fleetwood Mac's 'Black Magic Woman' is one of my favourites, and pretty much any version of summertime.

[56Johnny]

where can I get this any idea

[SirBasildeBrush]

It appears on CD "Blue 'Gene' Bop" from Rockstar Records RSRCD 025. Contains just his old BBC radio recordings from 'Saturday Club'.

[56Johnny]

finally a new gene song which is graet

[SirBasildeBrush]

Pleased to help out.

[NoRosesForMe]

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the stars.

[NoRosesForMe]

Youre very welcome! =))

[Erkele]

WONDERFUL! ThankYou So much! - E

[SilverFoxNo1]

Amazing Version from Gene!

I love it, thank you posting!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Hi Silver, thanks for all the comments. Pleased to share these unusual versions.

[Tewinwood]

I stand corrected. I think it is the Wildcats so the guitar will be by Big Jim Sullivan

[SirBasildeBrush]

I googled Big Jim - very interesting history, Mr 'Session Guitar'.

[LaVerne37]

Haunting...photos are excellent...it seems to just come so easy for "Sir B"....

Wayne in Texas

[SirBasildeBrush]

Gene made it easy by recording such a great version

[Tewinwood]

It's because it's a live recording. On Saturday Club all the acts sang live and this as backed by the Outlaws (incl Chas Hodges)

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks. I've added more details.

[SirBasildeBrush]

I believe this one was actually with The Wildcats backing.

[Haleyzz]

Never heard this version before.Gene sounds as great as ever.He had the best voice from that era.

[grandprix63]

I've never heard this before but i will listen to it many times. Great version!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks. Something odd happens with the guitar break at 2:30, not sure he plays it wrongly or the tape recording is messed-up.
