Wee Willie Harris
Goin' Ape In Portugal 7" single (vinyl)

Since the golden days of the legendary 2I's Coffee Bar in Old Compton Street, London, Wee Willie Harris has been one of the most colorful and dynamic characters in the British circuit.
His pink or red hair, with a long jacket to match, together with his flamboyant stage behavior became his trademark and he began to be known as 'Britain's wild man of Rock 'n' Roll'.
He rocked around the world, stage and screen, including appearances on the 6-5 Special TV Show and in Italian films Totòtruffa '62 and Mondo di Notte where you can see him driving the teenage dancers wild.
This record contains two live recordings from the TV program Lisboa di Noite from 1962 and featuring Tony Crombie on drums.
Growling and Rolling with Neil Sedaka's I Go Ape, dressed in a leopard loincloth and running into the audience as a real threat - backed with a crazy version of Gene Vincent's Say Mama.
It's not a surprise that Gene once said that he was really impressed by Wee Willie Harris' personality because was different and they had nothing like him in the States!
