Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Dance To The Bop Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well theres a little juke joint on the outside of town
Where the cats pick em up and lay em down
You get your gal, Ill get mine
And well get together and well have a good time.
Well dance a little bit to the bop, to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Well dance a little bit to the bop
Well now dance to the rock n roll.
Yeah now, dance, dance, dance
Well, dance, dance, dance
Yeah now, dance, dance, dance
Well, dance, dance, dance
Well now dance, well dance to the rock n roll. (now got it, git it)
Well the cats come rockin in two by two
Some come single like me and you
Dancin to the bop is their delight
Well when thet get right, theyll dance all night.
Theyll dance a little bit to the bop, to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Dance a little bit to the bop
Well now dance to the rock n roll.
Yeah now, dance, dance, dance
Well, dance, dance, dance
