Gene Maltais Born May 21, 1933 in Concord, New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a great state with beautiful mountains, lakes, skiing and fishing. How you gonna be a rockabilly star in this beautiful country? Well, maybe by being inspired by Johnny Ray, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, etc.

Gene tried in every way. He traveled around the area, performing in local bars while searching for a record contract. The people who heard Gene, told him to go to Nashville. So, at a young age, he did. He traveled in his '49 Chevy , used the car as his sleeping place, and did a lot of odd jobs earning money to stay alive.

It may be a story like many young stars, but Gene was different, blessed with a great voice and writing all his own material. It was Decca Records were Gene received his first recording break. Chet Atkins told him how hard it was to break through. Chet brought Gene to the "Cedarwood Publishing Company" and there he sang "Crazy Baby." Webb Pierce walked by the room and taped "Crazy Baby" using a small tape recorder.

Webb phoned Paul Cohen and history was written then. Gene's first record came to be, after a Brenda Lee session on April 19, 1957 in the Bradley Studio, 204 16th Avenue South - they cut "Deep River Blues b/w "Crazy Baby," Decca 30387. The Anita Kerr Singers did the backing vocals. The whistling on "Crazy Baby" was performed by Gene himself.

But Decca didn't do much to promote the record as they were too busy with other artists.
Gene went back to New England to play in bars and clubs throughout Boston and New Hampshire. He picked up the name ... "The King of Rock 'n' Roll in New England."
Gene went west and on to Hollywood where he did jobs like being a bellhop at the Challenger Inn at Sun-Valley, a chauffeur at the Eldorado Lodge in Tuscon and later, a police officer - the job he liked the most, after singing and writing of course.
He met Tony Hilder who introduced him to "Aladdin Records" where Gene wrote songs for other artists. John & Jacky recorded two songs of his - "The Raging Sea" and "Little Girl." Aladdin 3425, released in May of 1958. But, Gene didn't like the way Aladdin handle his songs and didn't sign a contract.
The Raging Sea is the most wanted recording of Gene. Many radio stations all over the globe play that song ... Australia, Belgium, Polen, Netherlands, etc.
Gene's second recording was Regal #7502, "The Bug: b/w "Love Makin'." Billboard magazine wrote" "Love Makin'": "blues, chanted with a swinging quality by the vocalist ... backing drives." "The Bug": Driving blues, lyric has some novelty quality, arrangement moves right along with funky guitars."
Gene started his own company and recorded "The Raging Sea" b/w "Gang War" on his own label, Lilac #3159, in 1959. Records of Gene are very rare.
Gene also had his own TV show, "The Gene Maltais Variety Hour." But bad luck and questionable working associates may have been a factor in Gene not getting the recognition he deserved.
Gene still writes and lives with his lovely wife in Suncook, NH.
