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.

Gene Vincent

My friends tried to tell me, but they were too late, yeah
What a fool I was to fall for your bait, yeah
You drive me crazy, kiss-a-me baby, I dont mean maybe
Double talkin baby, please make up your mind
Oh-oh-oh-oh, first you said you would, if you just could, yeah
Then you said you could if you just would, yeah
You drive me crazy, kiss me baby, I dont mean maybe
Double talkin baby, please make up your mind (yeah)
Now you said you would if you still could, yeah
I bet you probably will if I keep still, yeah
