Jumpin' Gene Simmons 1933-2006

Rockabilly singer and songwriter Gene Simmons (no, not the long-tongued guy from KISS!) died on Tuesday, August 29, 2006. In his early career, Gene was part of the Sun Records list of stars, which included Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. He later joined the famous Bill Black Combo as their lead singer, until the untimely death of Bill Black. He reached #11 on the Billboard charts in 1964 with his hit "Haunted House". Later he turned his talents to songwriting, including Tim McGraw's first hit in 1994, "Indian Outlaw".
I did find a copy of his hit, "Haunted House", and have posted it for your listening pleasure.

    Hi Esther,

    My name is Kurtis and I have a Disney cover tunes blog (www.coveringthemouse.com) and I would like to talk to you about old Disney song you may have on vinyl. I already know you have at least one: Rodney Allen Rippy - It's a Small World

    Do you have any more? Can you please email me at kurtis@coveringthemouse.com

    Thanks

    Kurtis
