665 Gene Summers (1939- ) and the Tom Toms “Big Blue Diamond” 1963

“Gene Summers, a Dallas-born guitarist began performing in 1955 at high school dances and within two years was making television appearances…Summers never found the national acclaim he was looking for, though he managed to change with times and stay afloat in the entertainment industry, including work as a television announcer for Saturday Night Wrestling in the early eighties. His career experienced a huge resurgence in England during the rockabilly revival of the eighties” (Paula Felps, Lone Stars and Legends: The Story of Texas Music, 2001).
