Suzi Quatro's Pioneers of Rock

on BBC Radio 2

5/6. Singer Suzi Quatro pays tribute to the mavericks of rock 'n' roll, profiling both the recognised giants and the unsung heroes.
She continues with black-leathered but softly-spoken singer/guitarist/songwriter Gene Vincent (born Vincent Eugene Craddock), who died in 1971, aged 36. Vincent's defining song is the 1956 classic Be-Bop-a-Lula. Other hits with the Blue Caps include Blue Jean Bop, Lotta Lovin', My Heart and Pistol Packin' Mama. Featuring rare interview material, with archive commentary from Robert Plant and John Peel.
