The Rock n Roll Party pays tribute to Earl Sinks.

This Saturday, Geoff includes a special tribute to the man who replaced Buddy Holly in The Crickets`....EARL SINKS.

Earl sang and played on The Crickets first `post-Buddy` album, which produced four UK hit singles, including the original version of the much-covered , `I Fought The Law`.

Sonny Curtis wrote that song and in an exclusive interview with Geoff, remembers his friend and fellow `Cricket`....the late Earl Sinks, who passed away last week.
