It started out with Haley's Comets
A-rockin' round the clock
Well, then along came Presley
With some hillbilly rock, now
Mix it in with Carl Perkins
Chuck Berry when he's workin'
And Little Richard out of Macon
Inspired Jerry Lee to shakin'
Slow down the tempo with the Fat Man
Bring back the rhythm with Bo's band
Don and Phil and Eddie Cochran
And Buddy Holly kept a-rockin'
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line
Jump back down to to PhillyFor a daily Bandstand Rock
At The Hop with Danny's Juniors
The Stroll was very hot now
Rydell, Cannon and Dion sang
While Eddy's Rebels twanged on
Soon the world a-started twistin'
With the Checker dance
The Four Seasons sang Sherry
While Barry Gordy shopped the Champs
Ike and Tina and a-Uncle Ray
Along with Shannon's Runaway
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line
The West Coast started surfin'
With the Beach Boy band
Jan and Dean and the Surfaris
Spread the songs throughout the land
And soon the Beatles from a-Liverpool
Electrified, began to rule
Roll out the Stones with Satisfaction
Mix in a bit of blues reaction
Byrds and Spoonful got in motion
With a very good time notion *
Otis Redding and Revue
Young Rascals attitude
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line

Gene Vincent, pseudonimo di Eugene Vincent Craddock (1935-1971), è stato un cantante e chitarrista statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del rock and roll. Nato a Oklahoma City, Vincent iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, influenzato da artisti come Elvis Presley e Chuck Berry. Il suo stile musicale era caratterizzato da un mix di rockabilly, country e blues, con una forte componente vocale aggressiva e melodie orecchiabili. Il successo arrivò nel 1956 con il singolo "Be-Bop-A-Lula", che divenne un grande successo internazionale. Altri brani celebri includono "Race with the Devil" e "Bluejean Baby". Vincent lottò contro problemi di salute, tra cui una grave lesione alla schiena causata da un incidente d'auto, che lo costrinsero a utilizzare una sedia a rotelle per gran parte della sua carriera. Nonostante le difficoltà, continuò a registrare musica e esibirsi fino alla sua morte nel 1971.
