"In the golden age of rock'n'roll, there was one name who rivaled Elvis, both in style and talent: Eddie Cochran. A trailblazer of rockabilly whose smash hits "Summertime Blues," "C'mon Everybody," and "Three Steps to Heaven" defined an era, Eddie's life was tragically cut short when he died in a car crash in 1960 at just twenty-one years old. Yet his work has inspired and been recorded by everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Prince and is still influencing musicians and enthralling audiences today."--Page [4] of cover.
