Cliff Gallup is so damn good

Can you imagine hearing Cliff Gallup on your dansette in your bedroom in the Home Counties in 1956 the way Jeff Beck did? It must have sounded like it came from outer space!

His stuff was so great until he started ruining it by having Jordanaires style backing vocals on every single song. In fact it might even have been the Jordanaires, I hate those bastards.

I've long thought exactly the same about Elvis from 1956. On Hound Dog for example you've got this stinging solo by Scotty Moore and the Jordanaires pouring syrupy shit all over it. Ruined so much of Elvis' 50s work
