Who was first?

  • I just added a movie of Vince Taylor whose bio can be seen here. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=73707021 and here http://www.rockabilly.nl/artists/vtaylor.htm I personally think that he's a bit underestimated. His looks at least have influenced lots of artists Gene Vincent Les Chats Sauvages Alvin Stardust and some more whom I can't remember. I wonder who was the first with this leather image? On my videos you can see Les Chats Sauvages in leather pants. So it must be a European thing, because good old Gene didn't sport his leather outfit in the US but it started in the UK. Where he was hailed as the greatest thing on Earth. So does anyone have the knowledge who started this bad boy image? Just wondering.
