Saturday afternoon........Sending out 50's music to a friend in the fashion world in Paris who wants to know what my early influences were. The whole feeling of rock at that time was just so innovative and new. We had been raised on saccharine pop in the years after the war and all of a sudden along came early rock 'n' roll with the likes of Little Richard, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and of course the early Elvis who seemed such an exotic creature at the time.......Even his name was something else and the first album with that famous photo was so iconic......years later copied by The Clash on London calling. It's impossible to overestimate his influence especially as to many people he became the overweight and Vegas figure....but the early man was really special. Check out The Sun Sessions and of course his early hits before he went in the army and lost his mojo in the process.
