Wee Willie Harris Grab You - The Brits Are Rockin' CD
Wee Willie Harris was the epitome of rock 'n' roll and extremely original. He was a great entertainer understood the essence of an American rock 'n' roll show and brought it to Britain - and yet he was as English as it gets. He was there from the beginning, and by combining British humour with American music, Harris helped to establish the enduring tradition of British rock and roll. Wee Willie Harris is one of the wildest English rockers and is held in the highest esteem by his contemporaries. Cliff Richard called him “the best”. Dressed in leopard skins, capes with his name embroidered on the back and brightly coloured long hair, he ventured into realms unknown. Ironically, Wee Willie Harris is not a household name outside his circle of admirers and hardcore rockers. The ninth CD in the series dedicated to British rockers, ‘The Brits Are Rocking’, turns the spotlight back on the wild man of English rock 'n' roll, who the BBC accused of “encouraging youthful decadence”.
