1. with the great Cliff Gallup
At the time of his death from a heart attack in 1988, he was the Director of Maintenance and Transportation for the Chesapeake, Virginia city school system, where he worked for almost 30 years. At the request of his widow, obituaries in local newspapers made no mention of his time with The Blue Caps. He is remembered principally for his influence on such guitarists as Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. The latter recorded an album of Gene Vincent songs, Crazy Legs, in 1993 considered by music critics to be a tribute to Gallup<5><6> and Vincent. <7>

Gallup was ranked 79th in Rolling Stone magazine list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"<8>

Gallup is a Rockabilly Hall of Fame inductee.


Weird ( to me anyway) request from his widow if this wikipedia entry is accurate.
