Eddie Cochran – Great Hits
Poor Eddie Cochran died in a taxi cab accident in the UK on the way to the airport in 1960 when he was thrown from the car and sustained a fatal head injury. Gene Vincent was with him, and suffered a broken leg which caused him to limp for the rest of his life.
Standout track on this one for me is Eddie’s original “Twenty Flight Rock“.
