Eddie Cochran

Edward Ray Cochran ( / ˈ k ɒ k r ən / KOK -rən ; October 3, 1938 – April 17, 1960) was an American rock and roll musician. His songs, such as " Twenty Flight Rock ", " Summertime Blues ", " C'mon Everybody " and " Somethin' Else ", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s. He experimented with multitrack recording , distortion techniques and overdubbing , even on his earliest singles. Cochran played the guitar, piano, bass, and drums. His image as a sharply dressed and attractive young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and in death, he achieved iconic status.
