Elvis Preley began his career in 1954 , but didn't have comercial success untill 1956

This is vary incomplete this is white bread rock, Ricky who?

[akytilop]

@xz632 , Rick Nelson sold millions of records and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as is his Lead guitarist James Burton. This is the type of music us white boys proudly listened to in the 50s and 60s. We listened to black R and B artists also such as Fats Domino, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Clyde McPhatter, Chuck Berry and others. I don't think you crossed the race line and listened to white artists, did you?

[oramikleepunk]

@akytilop If i'm not mistaken Fats Domino,Little Richard,and Chuck Berry are also the fathers of Rock n Roll and in the Rock N roll hall of fame with other R&B singers.

can't wait for the series greg. sounds great. used to read crawdaddy all the time and bought that crawdaddy with the bruce and band go to sing sing story back then (still have it somehwere) as i was already a fan. i might be one of about 1000 people who actually bought his first single too. i've always wanted to know if you took any pictures of this gig?

[Sinclair34]

Thanks, we certainly didn't take pictures and I have never seen any--and since we were only press people there I don't think there could have been any, unless in Sing Sing archives. No cell phones!

[oshesa1]

[bopcomm]

[Sinclair34]

Keep on chooglin, yeah, got the Creedence reference!

I'll be tuning in, Greg.

I interviewed Zappa during the Billy The Mountain tour. He was out of sorts and took frequent slugs from a huge bottle of Milk of Magnesia. Flo and Eddie were taking frequent slugs from a huge bottle of Jim Beam. The latter were arrested after the show on obscenity charges. (They undid their belts, dropped to their knees and waggled the ends suggestively in the faces of the girls in the front row.) Good fun was had by all!

[Sinclair34]

Thanks for comment. Last time I saw Frank it was at press party at Greenwich VIllage eatery -- for his "Sheik Yerbooty" album. He arrived with...a camel.

[Sinclair34]

Hey everyone: When I first put up video a few days ago I forgot to add any reminders to Subscribe. Now I've done that but if you haven't subscribed--please do so!  Thanks.

[Th3UnionFor3v3r]

This looks promising.

[SIXTOES666]

this is sooo cool !

[Sinclair34]

Thank for query. Frank Zappa was cool and surprisingly "nice" and "normal" as he treated me to a room service lunch...If anyone has ANY other questions raised by the video or anything else I will try respond. -- Greg Mitchell

[IIWebbII]

What did you think of Frank Zappa?

[Rexcetera]

Greg Mitchell at E&P wrote some of the best editorials on the excesses of George Bush and Republicanism. Listen to whatever he says.
