Happy birthday, Cliff Gallup! With lightning-fast fingers and a guitar style sharper than Gene Vincent's jacket collars, you've made rockabilly dance halls seem electric. Though your time with the Blue Caps was brief, every riff you played has stuck in our ears like glue—making us bop till we drop decades later.From "Race with the Devil" to unforgettable solos in "Be-Bop-a-Lula," your energized sound still echoes loud and proud. Wishing you a birthday filled with twangy tunes, cake sweeter than guitar licks, and a day that rocks as hard as you did on stage. Keep shredding wherever you are!
