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

Then the night is so lonely
And I dream of you only
You are the star in my heavens above
I looked for you and found my true love
I love you, honest I do
And Im tellin you
The night is so lonely
And I dream of you only
You are the star in my heavens above
I looked for you and found my true love
I love you, honest thats true
And Im tellin you
The night is so lonely
And I dream of you only
