Cliff Gallup

Clifton E. Gallup (June 17, 1930 – October 9, 1988) was an American guitarist. He was the lead guitarist for Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps in the 1950s. Gallup's recording career was brief, recording 35 songs with Vincent in 1956 plus a 1960s solo album, but he performed occasionally until the end of his life as a part-time hobby.

Critic Richie Unterberger describes Gallup as "one of the greatest guitarists in early rock & roll, and certainly one of the greatest rockabilly guitarists ever" with "phenomenal abilities".
