RIP - Charlie Gracie Special
This past Saturday, Dec 17th we lost one of the great originators of Rock N Roll music. Way before Elvis, before Sun Records, was Charlie Gracie from Philly. Beginning his career around the same tim57 Bill Haley and His Comets had become a dance hall hit with there new style of fast music combining Jump Blue & Hillbilly with a big band ensemble, Charlie Gracie started his brand of simple 3 piece ensemble with the same mix of genres. Later this style of 3 peice ensemble would become the staple for what we now call the original form of Rock N Roll we now know and love as Rockabilly.
Charlie Gracie became a virtuoso on the Guild X-350 Guitar and a prolific songwriter starting on Cadillac Records in 1951, 20th Century Records in 1955 and then a Top 40 Pop star on Cameo Records in 1957.
Today - Dec 19, 2022 The Wrekking Hours will pay tribute to this legend of Rock N Roll with a 2 hour special featuring an in person interview with Mr. Gracie.
