The late great Jack Good said that Eddie could have really gone far with acting too. There was talk of him appearing in a John Wayne movie. Dear Ed will always remain in the land of "might have been" i'm hoping that this film called "The Boy From Bell Garden's" gets made. If anyone has any news on that, please share. Thanks.
There's not much more to be said that hasn't been said already. Keith Richards and Pete Townsend both said Eddie had the charisma and was a great showman. He was in a movie called The Girl Can't Help It in 1956 and sang Twenty Flight Rock. He was probably 15 years old when the movie was shot. I have the movie and the singers like Gene Vincent, Little Richard and The Platters plus Eddie make the film enjoyable Jayne Mansfield was just there. Someone asked what " step 4" would have been. That's easy to say. Step 4 was Eddie's final step out of his short life and career into a hopefully better place. Love him or hate him, he was one of a kind. His combed back pompadour was his trademark look..Yes he was one of a kind.
He was such a great artist, his simplicity of a strong beat made his sound made it easy to dance too!!! Agree with with the fact today's music is mostly boring, and if l can't dance to it, don't like it!!! From a ver crocheted old guy stuck in the 50's 😊
Just like Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran died very young. Such a wonderful talent that never reached his full potential, we can only wonder what could have been.
Eddie Cochran - about the only subject upon which my sister and I agreed in our youth, the only difference being she cried when when he died and I didn’t. Now I’m nearly 80 and she’s nearly 82.
He died when the Ford (Zodiac) he was in (back seat, )no safety belts those days,he was thrown out and he died after damage to his head, a horrible way to go,he was an ACE vocalist a guitarist,no gimmicks just talent. Saw him around that time on a USAF Airforce Base ALconbury Huntingdonshire (now Cambridgeshire). Terry Offord.
@@terryofford4977 The original account of Eddie's death said he was in the backseat of a limo asleep. His girlfriend was also there. Gene Vincent was in the front. A truck hit the limo and it hit a concrete lamp post. Eddie had massive injuries. Other later accounts say he fell out of the limo. All that's certain is he died in the hospital and the 19 year old driver was at fault. Other accounts have stated other things but this was the original account from 1960.
Yes. I agree. Even more talented than Elvis. And wayyyyy better musician.This guy was Jimi Hendrix's idol. Speaks volumes. And Rush, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zep, U2 and many other big names have all covered Eddie's songs.
How sad, three of the greatest rockabilly artists: Buddy Hollie, Eddie Cochrane and Bobby Fuller all taken well before their time. How much richer our lives would have been had they fulfilled their true potentials. Rock On, True Averil
EDDIE COCHRAN IS ROCK AND ROLL....EVEN LONG AFTER HIS DEATH..... AT HIS YOUNG AGE OF 22 YEARS OLD HE WROTE ALREADY COUPLE OF HUNDREDS SONG ! ....... RIP EDDIE
This guy was something else no phoney computer sounds just a little sound box and good rock and roll music and good songs nothing comes even close to that today.What a nice time it was in the fifties and early sixties .William Lageveen Spruce Grove Canada.
You older ones are really lucky, because we, modern ones, were born in the wrong time, where is almost no good singers left... The old music (1920s-1960s) was very good and fun, but now we have only this "music made of farts"...
great song for anyone to follow if get right know they couldt get it right if they try break rules make there own has days go by rules wasnt in book change for them
Bill Lageveen Well, said. Pure talent. The renaissance of music back then, which only comes along every blue moon. I'm just glad I grew up in those times, but sadly Eddie was killed on our roads. He would have been another Elvis otherwise. Love the guy.
Today, April 17. 2018, it is 68 year since this great artist died. Rest in Peace, Eddie, and Rock on with Fats, Elvis, Buddy and all the other in Rock Heaven.
WOW! Love this guy! Can't help but cry for Eddie and fiancée. Their love for eachother and loss are heart breaking. Eddie's multi talent amazingly beautiful. His voice, guitar playing and song writing was 2nd to none. I hope she is better and has happiness. 💞
This was the popular record on the jukebox at our local cafe some guys liked the b side cut across shorty which caused many a punch up I've given up fighting now at 75 my mother has forbidden me she was always spoiling my fun Les from the uk
I was sixteen at the time and just got my first guitar. Cochran played more than three chords. He was great then - had he lived he would have been one of the true greats.
Brings back many memories of the 1960s - a wonderful singer and song! The year I formed my first my first rock group, and found my first girlfriend - great memories!
Eddie Cochran had everything, charisma, great song writing and guitar skills, attitude and originality. What a great talent!

@@wesleycook7687 HATE HIM ? no human could do that.
@@MrDaiseymay WTF are you saying.? I love Eddie Cochran. I NEVER said I hated him. Read my comment again.
Wir waren jung, verliebt und glücklich, was gab es Schöneres, als dieser Musik zu zuhören und zu tanzen. Danke für diese schönen Erinnerungen.
50s 60s Music was TRUE Rock and Roll and Great SOUL MUSIC. I know I was living it in real time. Just my opinion, THANKS.
Eddie Cochron was like so many other great stars taken from us far too young
Music is so dull these days I need Jim beam and rock n roll.Oldies are the best,agree folks.
Me too
Same and I was born in the noughties

... im trying to limit my retirement happy hour with you tube old rock 'n roll music to just 10 hours per day now...
@@oldbeatpeteJust love You Tube for bringing back the old Rock and Roll. There is nothing like it to bring back memories and make you want to dance.
Best musick ever , and i am 76 now so i know
73 And I know too---poor kids of today ! RAP is crap !
Magic. Never can be replaced or repeated.
Just like Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran died very young. Such a wonderful talent that never reached his full potential, we can only wonder what could have been.
One of the greatest songs ever written and beautifully performed.
Simple three cord wonders, love it RIP Eddir😊
What a legend!!!! I’m a 40 year old woman and listen to this a lot. Reminds me of my dad 💕
Same
I'm 40 too and remember my dad playing these on a cassette tape in the car.
I love me some Eddie. What a legend. Rest easy
Only the good die young 😢😢😢 A fan from France 🇲🇫
I have only recently found him at 74 years. He is now number one of my all time favourites, amazing talent for his age
At 74.......really
Eddie inspired a lot of great artists with such a very short life.
I loved Eddie's Summertime Blues.
For me it's something else 😎
I saw Eddie perform live in 1957. He put on a great show! R. I. P. . .
Anything you can remember about it please tell us!
@@AtticusBleep He didnt see shit.
@@rockyruane9379 don't be rude they probably remember something
@@ncmetal223 Eddie Cochran was nothing. There's a reason he had to bolt to England
You are a legend sir
So many good song 🎵 writers and singers in the 1960 glad to have lived in that time 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love this song very much
Good memories Song❤einfach fantastisch Bernd Germany July 2024
WHAT MEMORIES 🎤🎸🎼👍❤SO DAMN GREAT
He came to the UK and played here unlike Elvis and was a legend.So sad he died in the car crash RIP Ed

I love Eddie's music but I heard this song for the first time today!WOW!
So lucky to be born in this era - such great times and great music. Nothing like it now unfortunately!!
Well said Dorothy.
Eddie Cochran the King of Rockabilly and the master of the Gretsch guitar
Think I can sing ,a bit., But never play the guitar like Eddy..class.x
Eddie and gene legends as buddy and Elvis pure genius of their time
His last song before he was killed,so sad and prophetic,he died before his time ,i was just a small boy of 5 years when you left us.RIP Eddie
Bring back the rockabilly sound, another timeless classic
I agree with all of the positive comments above ❤.
Oh dear Eddie! The foundations of Rock 'n' Roll are all here. A perfect 3 chord masterpiece. Ladies and gentleman I give you a genius.
I remember this song came out very soon after eddie had died .such a sad loss
I had to buy it next day--still have it, in good condition, despite many many plays.
Always my favourite.🥰😘
Wonderful ❤️
The Greatest Loss to Rock and Pop Ever,21 years old 1960 R I P
The greatest loss along with Buddy Holly
With such a voice Eddie is really in heaven ! He died too young but he's really top in the Rock & Roll History.
I was a young boy when Eddie sing this song simply brilliant what else is there to say
Miss my Rock 'A' Billy years back in the 80s. Eddie Cochran was one of the best.
He died when the Ford (Zodiac) he was in (back seat, )no safety belts those days,he was thrown out and he died after damage to his head, a horrible way to go,he was an ACE vocalist a guitarist,no gimmicks just talent.

TheIgmister1 Couldn't have said it any better. My three favorites. All gone too soon.
Thelgmister Yes, but let us happy with what they left us: great memories.
It was actually the big bopper not bobby fuller
Pure brilliance: the best of American popular culture. I've always loved the way he sings "And things" in the line "And things do go wrong" at 1:28.
He was the first singer, apart from Elvis, that I was aware of. Brilliant memories! I’m now in my 70’s but still enjoy them all!

Very Great song
Those were the days!

I was sixteen at the time and just got my first guitar. Cochran played more than three chords. He was great then - had he lived he would have been one of the true greats.
Eddie was right up there with the best along with Buddy and Bo Diddley who I think they all respected and acknowledged

Wow ! That took me right back ❤❤
One the greatest, makes you smile
