Wee Willie Harris

In the initial wave of rock and roll & roll, Britain could only offer pale Elvis imitations or ancient pop singers masquerading therefore. One exception towards the guideline was Wee Willie Harris. Dying his locks all types of colours and putting on larger-than-life stage coats that appeared as if the coating hanger was still inside, limited drainpipe trousers, and an enormous polka-dot bow connect, Harris understandably stood right out of the remaining pack. From the Two I’s coffeehouse circuit in Soho, Harris got a like for hard American rock and roll & move and an capability to perform it with unrelenting energy that held him actively carrying out and recording through the middle-’50s onward, operating from nostalgia deals to cruise lines over the Atlantic — anyplace where his funny and powerful stage display could possess a forum.
