Some of his classic recordings include "School of Rock 'n Roll", "Straight Skirt", "Nervous", "Gotta Lotta That", and "Twixteen". Summers was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 1997 and The Southern Legends Entertainment & Performing Arts Hall of Fame in 2005. He still performs worldwide and celebrated his 50th anniversary as a recording artist in 2008 with the release of Reminisce Cafe.
Summers graduated from Duncanville High School in 1957 and attended Arlington State College, now known as the University of Texas at Arlington. That same year, he formed the rockabilly band The Rebels and performed on Joe Bill's Country Picnic on KRLD, where they were spotted by songwriter Jed Tarver.

My cat Magus was euthanized February 17, 2021 & I was listening to his song "Chapel Bells Ringing " to help me cry out my pain and grief unaware til a day or two ago that Gene died the exact same day as my cat! Weird coincidence!

wow la amo! Listen to the winds from the desert's burning waste Hear the words in a fire as it crackles to you Heed these words and don't you forget The devil is a woman A red-headed woman A firey-headed woman Taboo Taboo had a lover many years ago But her lover proved fickle and he left her all alone She died in grief and took the witches curse And she cries in her spirit Now I am the devil Forever man will atone
