Gene Summers (born January 3, 1939 in Dallas, Texas) is an American rock/rockabilly singer and entertainer. Some of his classic recordings include "School of Rock 'n Roll", "Straight Skirt", "Nervous", "Gotta Lotta That", "Twixteen", "Alabama Shake" and his biggest-selling single "Big Blue Diamonds". Summers was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 1997 and The Southern Legends Entertainment & Performing Arts Hall of Fame in 2005. He still performs worldwide and celebrated his 50th anniversary as a recording artist in 2008 with the release of ''Reminisce Cafe''. Summers graduated from Duncanville High School in 1957 and attended Arlington State College, now known as the University of Texas at Arlington. That same year, he formed the rockabilly band The Rebels and performed on ''Joe Bill's Country Picnic'' on KRLD-TV where they were spotted by songwriter Jed Tarver. This led to the band being signed by newly founded Jan Records. Their first record was released on February 1, 1958, under the name of Gene Summers & His Rebels.〔(Gene Summers discography ) from ''Rockin' Country Style'' USA〕〔(Gene Summers discography ) from ''Rocky Productions'' France〕〔(Gene Summers discography ) from ''Wangdangdula'' Finland〕 ==Partial discography== *''Rock 'n Roll Volume 2.'' 1973, Holland *''The Southern Cat Rocks On'' 1975, Switzerland *''Mister Rock and Roll'' 1977, Switzerland *''Rock a Boogie Shake'' 1980, Sweden *''Early Rocking Recordings'' 1981, Holland *''Texas Rock and Roll'' 1981, France *''Gene Summers in Nashville'' 1981, France *''Dance Dance Dance'' 1981, UK *''Rock 'n Roll Tour - "Live" In Scandinavia'' 1983, Sweden *''School Of Rock 'n Roll (album)'' 1994, Holland *''Sounds Like Elvis CD'' 1996 (compilation), USA *''The Ultimate School of Rock & Roll'' 1997, USA *''Rockaboogie Shake'' 1999, UK *''Do Right Daddy'' 2004, Sweden *''Reminisce Cafe'' 2008, USA *''Taboo!'' 2011, USA *''Gotta Lotta That The Essential Gene Summers'' 2012, USA 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gene Summers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
