Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll US originaire de St. Paul (Minnesota), Augie
Garcia
fut surnommé "The Godfather of Minnesota Rock". Il est décédé en 1999.
Augie Garcia,
from St. Paul's West Side, was known as the "godfather of Minnesota rock 'n'
roll." In 1956, he opened for Elvis Presley
in the St. Paul Auditorium, but his high-energy show in his trademark Bermuda
shorts was too much for Presley's
manager, Col. Tom Parker. The crowd became frenzied, Garcia later recalled, and
Parker pulled him from the stage, citing a clause in Garcia's contract that
barred competition with the headliner. The shorts were a Garcia trademark. He
recalled that he had 38 pair of them that he wore in both summer and winter
