Listen to this song and I guarantee you will immediately think of Elvis Presley.
Well, good job, you're wrong.
It's actually rock and roll and rockabilly group, Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps. Gene Vincent (born Vincent Eugene Craddock) was in the U.S. Navy, hence the name "Blue Caps."
It has been said that the song was started in 1955 while Vincent was in the U.S. Navy hospital due to a motorcycle accident. The song was released in 1956 and peaked at number seven on the Billboard pop chart.
The song went on to be covered by artists such as David Cassidy and Queen.
