Eddie Cochran

Three Steps To Heaven Eddie Cochran

He played guitar, piano, bass, and drums. His image as a sharply dressed and good-looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and with his early death (21) he achieved an iconic status. Eddie Cochran's most famous compositions, "Twenty Flight Rock" (the song Paul McCartney auditioned with for John Lennon's Quarrymen), "Summertime Blues" (which provided hits for both The Who and Blue Cheer), "Somethin' Else" (the Sex Pistols), and "C'mon Everybody" (Humble Pie, Sex Pistols, Bryan Adams) are all here. "Three Steps to Heaven" is a song co-written and recorded by Eddie Cochran, released in 1960. The record became a posthumous UK number-one hit for Cochran following his tragic death in a car accident in 1960.
