Rock n Roll Legend on British TV show hosted by Eamon Andrews in 1969 singing Be Bop a Lula live with the Wild Angels backing him. This clip is taken from the BBC Documentary The Rock n Roll singer.
perhaps some great rockers were never meant to get old,Buddy Holly,Eddy Cochrane,Gene Vincent and Elvis never made it into old age,while Little Richard Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee continue to grow old in true rocking style (disgracefully)
EXCELENT SOUND BUT, LIKE THE MOST OF THE PIONEERS THAT PLAYED LATER HIS OWN EXITS, THEY LOST THE ORIGINAL RHYTHM AND BEAT; LEAVING OUT THE ROCK AND ROLL ROOTS.
WHAT I TRY TO SAY?
¿QUÉ TRATÉ DE DECIR?
SONIDO EXCELENTE. COMO EL DE LA MAYORÍA DE LOS PIONEROS QUE DESPUÉS INTERPRETAN SUS ÉXITOS, PIERDEN SONIDO Y RITMO ORIGINALES, ALEJÁNDOSE DE SUS RAÍCES ROCANROLERAS.
