Description
This image is a Tribute to Eddie Edward Raymond 'Eddie' Cochran (October 3, 1938 – April 17, 1960) was an American musician. Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as "C'mon Everybody", "Somethin' Else", and "Summertime Blues", captured teenage frustration and desire in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[1] He experimented with multitrack recording and overdubbing even on his earliest singles,[2] and was also able to play piano, bass and drums.[1] His image as a sharply dressed and good-looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 50s rocker, and in death he achieved an iconic status.[3]
Cochran was born in Minnesota and moved with his family to California in the early 1950s. He was involved with music from an early age, playing in the school band and teaching himself to play blues guitar.[4] In 1955, he formed a duet with the guitarist Hank Cochran (no relation), and when they split the following year, Eddie began a song-writing career with Jerry Capehart. His first success came when he performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the film The Girl Can't Help It, starring Jayne Mansfield. Soon afterwards, Liberty Records signed him to a recording contract.
Cochran died aged 21 after a road accident, while travelling in a taxi in Chippenham, Wiltshire, during his British tour in April 1960, having just performed at Bristol's Hippodrome theatre. Though his best-known songs were released during his lifetime, more of his songs were released posthumously. In 1987, Cochran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of recording artists (see the "Style and Influence" section of this article for examples).

WOW le coup de vieux que je viens de prendre (bon d'accord... je l'avais déjà...) Que de souvenirs me reviennent en pensant a cet artiste fabuleux !!! Cette creation est vraiment fabuleuse mon amie !!!
Very interesting and wonderful work. Beautiful image
A wonderful tribute to Eddie, Ute! You did a great job on this! Even the 'rebels' back then knew how to dress - looking sharp as a tack. Not like today where they mostly look like they crawled out of a sewer with pants 2 sizes too big, and hanging 6 inches below their a$$es... And unlike Eddie, most of them can't even sing... so they just do (c)rap... :-P
Fantastic scene and tribute to a great singer =)!
Tolles Bild und Widmung. Jetzt hab' ich wieder was dazu gelernt, wußte nicht, das der Summertime Blues von ihm ist. Davon gibt's einige Versionen von verschiedenen Musikern.
Nice background story and picture ,I do not know his music but great tribute!
Very nice tribute, nicely done ! :)
Fantastic work on this wonderful tribute and historical information.
A very nice image and tribute. I'm also a big fan of all those 50's "Rock-a-Billy" stars.
great tribute
