Billy Crash Craddock


I think the correct artist name is Bill "Crash" Craddock. Even his own website names him that way ( www.billycrashcraddock.com ) and he's been using it on all his recordings since October 1959 (http://www.45cat.com/artist/billy-crash-craddock )


Other artist info:


Real Name: William Wayne Craddock

Born: June 16, 1939

Country: United States Of America

Family: Gene Vincent Craddock (Cousin) (Gene Vincent)

Revised as suggested (you do mean Billy "Crash" Craddock, right?).


I haven't added the Gene Vincent connection as I haven't been able to find adequate sources to back it up. Although it's mentioned on several sites, I've found others that say it was just a publicity thing and that they weren't related after all. Further info will be most welcome.


Thanks... Smile
