I love Cliff and the Shadows, but guts are not, really, their strong point (together — apart, they have both given some guts, I think, though its not really what they are known for).
Can anyone find the Gerry Anderson marionette version?
I don’t think you can “invent” British rock and roll, any more than you could invent American punk, or St. Patrick invented Christianity in Ireland. You can *introduce* it to the country.

They invented British rock and roll, you know.

Sorry, just listened to their version of “Sea Cruise” on the link and it’s missing the guts, isn’t it? (Great song, though.)

Of course I should have added that they also invented hip hop as well.

I can never remember what he did – I see or hear the name, and my brain tries to imagine a Jimmy Cliff/Keith Richards mashup. (unsuccessfully)
