Come on, you did well, but here you only win certificates of competence. At most, I'll tell you a joke: When I was little, I had to choose between a great memory or a big dick. I don't remember what I chose... I hope you liked it.

Good job, but what a puppet, you didn't win a damn thing. Bye.

Come on, since you like Cash so much, tell me which group his wife came from, it’s easy, so don’t look it up on Wikipedia.

I think the concert at San Quentin wasn't done for money. He made money after, since he had the recordings... to pay the mortgage and buy some food. It's true that Wray is not in the same category; it's just that the approach to music is different. In this aspect, it’s neither better nor worse. If someone prefers Perkins, that’s fine with me, but they also have to be okay with how I think.

I take the opportunity to greet everyone; it seems to me a page where, fortunately, it hasn't turned into a mess. Many important names have been mentioned, and indications have been given for those who are not well acquainted with early rock.

Thank you, Don, if you say so, I kind of believe it. Although, as usual, I had to struggle with the spelling.

When Wray played Live at the Paradiso, they certainly didn’t throw chairs at him. Cash made an LP after that concert in prison that became his best-selling album... if I remember correctly. I can check. If he didn’t donate it to charity, a few million dollars must have come out of it. Not bad, huh? Wray was an experimenter, he didn’t care about filthy money, he withdrew from the scene for many years before returning in the '70s with some really beautiful records.

I've always liked Willie Nile. Good review.

Here I am, I made it. @SUPERSOUL, I knew the Blue Cheer version, beautiful. I didn't post the link just because I didn't want to put too many versions of Summertime Blues; the most beautiful version remains the one by the author, even if the one found on YouTube isn't the best. @C'è, yes, I could have included Perkins and Johnny Burnette and others as well; I wrote down those I consider the best also as composers. Johnny Burnette is very dear to me because he didn't get the recognition he deserved; today, few know him, but he was great. POLKATULK88 These 4 records are for true Cochran enthusiasts; maybe start with a nice compilation, there are many, for example, Legends Of The 20th Century. @CJBS, yes, there are many figures that deserve more attention, but pages like this can be helpful, even for the comments. @VORTEX, you're right, Melissa has the reviews of Jerry Lee Lewis and Link Wray, that is me. @EZEKIEL25_17, you might think that Perkins is greater than Wray; it's a respectable opinion, but I don't agree. I also mentioned Mantovani and Ray Conniff, I could add others like Johnny Mathis because some think that in the '50s there was only rock'n'roll, while many realities coexisted. Mantovani sold tons of records. At that time, Cochran and the others focused on 45 RPM singles, but the best-selling LPs were by Conniff or Belafonte; Christmas records were also doing great. Who remembers Johnny Mathis anymore? The Kingston Trio was also very popular; among other things, "La Ballata del Cerutti di Gaber" was actually their Tom Dooley. (They deserve a review.) Let's be clear, Presley sold a lot back then; his best-selling record is the Christmas album, not, for example, his debut. Time has vindicated. @C'è, listen to Link Wray's records from the '70s, then tell me if Perkins was better.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. I can’t comment for long because the computer overheats and shuts down. Maybe this afternoon. Bye.
