best_know_for: More threatening than Elvis, wilder than Jerry Lee Lewis and sexier than Buddy Holley, Gene Vincent was the real thing. A swaggering, unrepentant rock 'n' roll singer and guitarist, he represented a dangerous embodiment of the defiant tension that gave birth to rock 'n' roll in the 1950s. While Presley made the transition from a defiant, rebellious rock icon to a bloat Vegas lounge singer, Gene Vincent was, remained, and died a rocker. The grave of Gene Vincent can be found at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall, California.
