My mate thinks he was the original punk artist.

Thoughts?

Clearly not. Think that comes from the fact The Pistols referenced him as an influence.

Gene Vincent was in the car with him and survived the crash

Crashed at Rowden Hill near Chippenham, he was pronounced at St. Martin's Hospital in Bath.

Rebel not a punk as was Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis, Richard Penniman may have been a punk.

I've seen Jerry Lee Lewis live, not bad for someone in their 20s
