    Timing. The Rockabilly age was short-lived, by the time they were adults it was the 60's and people were listening to Brit invasion and folk-rock. These kids were relics before their time.

    • @christiancamlin13
      @christiancamlin13 6 років тому +4

      Funny the British Invasion was started by acts like the Beatles that formed to play the Rockabilly songs of bands like the Collins Kids.

      They had the misfortune of signing with a label that didn't know what to do with them. Said label was run, at the time, by Mitch Miller, who hated R&R and not only tried to countrify them (And take away all the energy of their live performances), which killed sales, but never took them seriously and forced them to record a series of "novelty" songs, that bombed in the market.

    I' m gonna give it that certain touch
    With a little bit of Von Dutch
    I found a real cute baby, she's a real swingin' baby
    And she says we'll go steady just
    As soon as I get me a hot rod
    I'm gonna take her for a moonlight drive
    Across Mullholland Drive, then we'll really be alive
    As soon as I get me a hot rod
    With my baby sittin' close to me
    We'll do a little draggin' don't you see
    We'll even lay a path for you and me
    As soon as I get me a hot rod
    Yeah, I'm only fourteen, but I'm goin' on fifteen

Are there any recordings of him playing both in the same song or even just the upper ? Also I know his sister has past on , but did either of them go on to play in other bands ?

      @christiancamlin13 6 років тому +5

      you obviously have not studied early Rock much. While it certainly grew out of Blues and Jazz It owed just as much to Country or what was then called Hillbilly music.While some early rock Stars stole from black artists it does not mean that all of them did or even tried to.Even Pat Boone who is now seen as a serial thief of R&B was not aware that the songs his label picked for him to sing were being stolen from others at first. And since songs were sung by lots of artists then he certainly did not know that the original artist did not receive anything but a one time payment when they first recorded . I'm no fan of Pat Boone's but what was sleazy was not him but the industry itself. Adults in their 40's and older stole the songs from acts both black and white and paid pennies or less for the rights to them. They then would teach the songs to their performers who only got paid more if they created a national hit record. Otherwise all they got paid for was the recording session and maybe a show or 2 near some station that played the record.
