I've heard this on the Best 50 Harry Potter Moments when they were talking about professor Lupin! haha And I knew Little Richard's version, but tbh I like this one better! :D

Heavens to Murgatroid! The late great Gene Vincent could take any of the old standards & turn them into a rock classic! Fun stuff! THANKS for posting...you have MADE my day & my weekend! :-)

@JubalCalif This old standard, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, was written in the early 20th Century by my great Uncle, Gus Edwards. It is an old song, but has been recorded by many modern artists.

Was this the first rock 'n roll version of this song?

[RamisAbud1]

@boredtodelusionFan

Yes. Before the Little Richard recording.

One of the best of Gene's many fine recordings.

Dig the guitar solo.

As always a great Gene Vincent recording.

Far better than Little Richard´s version. The song was also a Billboard hit for Jimmy Bowen.

Also done by Little Richard, this classic was written in 1909 by my great uncle, Gus Edwards!
