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!

@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?

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