RACE WITH THE DEVIL...Can't leave February without celebrating the bithday of the original leatherclad ( jacket AND pants) rebel rocker Sweet GENE VINCENT, born 2/11/'35. Here he is with a couple of disciples from the Reeperbahn region of Hamburg ( who would soon desert him and start wearing jackets without collars!?!). Check out Gene in rock action in "The Girl Can't Help It" which also features great performances by LITTLE RICHARD, EDDIE COCHRAN, JULIE LONDON, FATS DOMINO, THE TRENIERS of "Rocking is Our Business" fame and EDMOND "Old Sykes from The Wild Bunch" O'BRIEN singing "Rock Around the Rockpile".Sweet Gene Vincent
