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.

Gonna Back Up Baby Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Gotta tell you baby, everythings alright
Well I told you baby, where I was last night
But no matter what I say baby, you cant see the light
Gotta tell you baby, promises I kept
Well, I told you baby, sorta step by step
But no matter what I say baby, Ill live without your help.
Gonna back up baby and start all over again
Gonna back up baby and start all over again
But even if I do, I know youre gonna make me tell you again.
(hang on, rock blue caps, lets go now)
Gonna tell you baby, one time again
Gonna tell you every place that Ive been
So listen now baby, till I get to the end.
cause Im gonna keep on coming till you give in.
Well I tell you baby, gotta change your mind
Well Im talking baby, till Im almost blind
But no matter what I say baby, Im just not that kind
(rock again, blue caps)
Gonna back up baby and start all over again
Gonna back up baby and start all over again
But even if I do, I know youre gonna make me tell you
Well even if I do, I know youre gonna make me tell you
Well even if I do, I know youre gonna make me tell you again.
